== FREEZING GAZE (Glaceon GX - SM: Ultra Prism)
Q.If my Tyranitar GX knocks out an opponent's Glaceon GX with the "Freezing Gaze" Ability, does Tyranitar GX's "Lost Out" Ability turn on in time for it to send Glaceon GX to the Lost Zone?
A. Nope, Freezing Gaze is still active when Glaceon GX is KO'd, so Tyranitar GX does not get to use its Lost Out Ability. (Dec 27, 2018 TPCi Rules Team)
== LOST OUT (Tyranitar GX - SM: Lost Thunder)
Q.If my Tyranitar GX knocks out an opponent's Glaceon GX with the "Freezing Gaze" Ability, does Tyranitar GX's "Lost Out" Ability turn on in time for it to send Glaceon GX to the Lost Zone?
A. Nope, Freezing Gaze is still active when Glaceon GX is KO'd, so Tyranitar GX does not get to use its Lost Out Ability. (Dec 27, 2018 TPCi Rules Team)
== VESSEL OF LIFE (Shedinja - SM: Lost Thunder)
Q. When using Shedinja's "Vessel of Life" Ability is the underlying Nincada discarded, or does it get attached as part of the Pokemon Tool?
A. The Nincada is discarded; only the Shedinja card gets attached as a Pokemon Tool. (Dec 27, 2018 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Can I use Shedinja's "Vessel of Life" Ability to attach it to a Pokemon that already has another Pokemon Tool card attached?
A. No, you cannot; the rulebook states "each Pokemon can have only 1 Pokemon Tool attached at any time". However, if there's an effect that overrides that rule, such as Genesect GX's "Double Drive" Ability, then you would be able to attach Shedinja to a Pokemon that already has another Pokemon Tool card attached. (Dec 27, 2018 TPCi Rules Team; Jan 3, 2019 TPCi Rules Team)
== WONDER LOCK (Klefki - XY: Steam Siege)
Q. If Klefki with the "Wonder Lock" Ability is attached to a Pokemon as a Tool card, what happens if "Silent Lab" stadium comes into play? Does "Wonder Lock" shut off and Klefki get discarded, or does it remain attached to the Pokemon?
A. Once Klefki is attached as a Pokemon Tool card it retains its effect even when its Ability has been disabled. Once it's attached, it is essentially treated as a Tool with that text, so shutting off its Ability doesn't matter at that point. However, if something such as Lysandre Labs is in effect, Klefki won't be discarded at the end of your opponent?s turn. (Jan 3, 2019 TPCi Rules Team)

== LOST BLENDER (SM: Lost Thunder)
Q. Can I play Lost Blender if I only have one card in my hand to put into the Lost Zone?

Q. Can I play Lost Blender if there are no cards left in my deck to draw from?
A. Yes, you can. (Jan 3, 2019 TPCi Rules Team)
== LYSANDRE LABS (SM: Forbidden Light)
Q. If Klefki with the "Wonder Lock" Ability is attached to a Pokemon as a Tool card, what happens if "Silent Lab" stadium comes into play? Does "Wonder Lock" shut off and Klefki get discarded, or does it remain attached to the Pokemon?
A. Once Klefki is attached as a Pokemon Tool card it retains its effect even when its Ability has been disabled. Once it's attached, it is essentially treated as a Tool with that text, so shutting off its Ability doesn't matter at that point. However, if something such as Lysandre Labs is in effect, Klefki won't be discarded at the end of your opponent?s turn. (Jan 3, 2019 TPCi Rules Team)
