POKEMON ABILITIES

== BRAZEN TAIL (Greedent - SW: Chilling Reign)
Q. If I have Greedent in play, will its "Brazen Tail" Ability prevent Faba from putting my Special Energy into the Lost Zone?
A. No, Brazen Tail does not protect against the Lost Zone. (Ju1 1, 2021 TPCi Rules Team)
== CRAZY CODE (Porygon-Z - SW: Unbroken Bonds)
Q. Can I use Porygon-Z's "Crazy Code" Ability to attach Impact Energy to a Pokémon that isn't a Single Strike Pokémon?
A. Yes you can, but then it would get discarded immediately. However, if that Pokémon was Poisoned, Impact Energy would remove the Special Condition. (Ju1 1, 2021 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Can I use Porygon-Z's "Crazy Code" Ability to attach Spiral Energy to a Pokémon that isn't a Rapid Strike Pokémon?

== DUMMY DOLL (Mimikyu V - SW: Battle Styles)
Q. Say I played Mimikyu V and used its "Dummy Doll" Ability on my turn. Then on my opponent's next turn, they play a Path to the Peak stadium. Does that cancel the effect of "Dummy Doll"?
A. Since the Dummy Doll Ability activated and placed an effect before Path to the Peak came into play, its effect remains. (Ju1 1, 2021 TPCi Rules Team)
== UNDERWORLD DOOR (Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX - SW: Chilling Reign)
Q. If a player attacks with Gengar & Mimikyu's "Horror House GX" attack, will the opponent be able to attach an energy card from their hand via Eternatus V's "Power Accelerator" attack or Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX's "Underworld Door" Ability?

POKEMON ATTACKS

A. No, all effects carry over, so it would be considered the same Pokémon. (Ju1 1, 2021 TPCi Rules Team)
== DIZZYING WIND (Venomoth - XY: Phantom Forces)
Q. If a player uses Venomoth's "Dizzying Wind" attack and the opponent tries to play a Supporter during their following turn and flips tails, will they have used up their Supporter for the turn?
