== ANTICIPATION (Toxicroak G - PL
latinum)
Q. On Player-A's turn, Torterra used "Land Shake". Then on Player-B's turn they play a Toxicroak-G from his or her hand. Does Toxicroak-G receive 2 damage counters from "Land Shake's" effect? Or does Toxicroak-G's "Anticipation" Poke-BODY prevent the effect?
A. The effect of placing two damage counters is one that resides on Player-B and is no longer "part of the attack" during the opponent's next turn. Anticipation would therefore not block the placing of damage counters in this situation. (May 7, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
== NURSE CALL (Blissey - PLlatinum)
Q. Can I use Blissey's "Nurse Call" Poke-POWER to discard a card from my hand even if I have no damaged Pokemon in play?
A. Yes, you can. (Jun 11, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
== SINKHOLE (Dugtrio - PLlatinum)
Q. Say I just attacked the defending Dialga-G Lv.X with RR Shiftry's "Seal Off" attack, thus shutting down its "Time Crystal" Poke-BODY. On my opponent's turn, he/she retreats Dialga-G Lv.X, however I have a Dugtrio on my bench. Does Dugtrio's "Sinkhole" Poke-BODY put any damage counters on Dialga?
A. Yes, Sinkhole would place damage counters. Sinkhole is triggered and resolved before the Seal Off effect is cleared. (Jun 11, 2009 PUI Rules Team)

== IMPERSONATE (Sableye - DP:Stormfront)
Q. If I use Sableye's "Impersonate" attack to search for a supporter and I find "Charon's Choice" and use its effect, does Charon's Choice go back into my hand at the end of my turn or do I discard it per Sableye's attack?
A. When using Impersonate, the Charon's Choice card goes to the discard pile rather than next to the Active Pokemon. Since it is already in the discard pile, you cannot bring the Charon's Choice card back into your hand. (Jun 11, 2009 PUI Rules Team)

== RUSHING FLAMES (Infernape - PLlatinum)
Q. When using Infernape's "Rushing Flames" attack, do I have do discard all the energies first and then flip, or can I do them one at a time?
