POKEMON ABILITIES
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== BIDE BARRICADE (Wobbuffet - XY: Phantom Forces) <XY4_36>

Q. If I have Galarian Weezing with "Neutralizing Gas" active and my opponent brings up a Wobbuffet with "Bide Barrier" Ability, does "Bide Barrier" turn off "Neutralizing Gas" or vice versa?
A. Since Neutralizing Gas was in effect before Wobbuffet became active, it takes precedence and Bide Barricade does not activate as long as Neutralizing Gas is in effect. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== MYSTERIOUS NEST (Dunsparce - SW: Fusion Strike) <SWSH8_207>

Q. My Arceus V is active and I have Dunsparce with "Mysterious Nest" Ability on my bench. If my opponent uses Spritomb's "Ticking Terror" attack does Arceus V now have {D} weakness, or does "Mysterious Nest" keep it with no weakness?
A. The Ticking Terror attack would switch Arceus V's weakness to {D}, but then Dunsparce's Mysterious Nest would change Arceus V back to no weakness. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== NEUTRALIZING GAS (Galarian Weezing - SW: Rebel Clash) <SWSH2_113>

Q. If I have Galarian Weezing with "Neutralizing Gas" active and my opponent brings up a Wobbuffet with "Bide Barrier" Ability, does "Bide Barrier" turn off "Neutralizing Gas" or vice versa?
A. Since Neutralizing Gas was in effect before Wobbuffet became active, it takes precedence and Bide Barricade does not activate as long as Neutralizing Gas is in effect. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== SWAYING STRANGLE (Cradily - SM: Cosmic Eclipse) <SM12_11>

Q. If I have a confused or poisoned Genesect V with 2 Fusion Strike Energy attached, and my opponent has a Cradily with the "Swaying Strangle" Ability in play, would I be able to Retreat after I have discarded the 2 Fusion Strike Energy cards as the cost, or would I no longer be able to Retreat?
A. Since you began the Retreat process while Swaying Strangle was prevented by the Fusion Strike Energy, you get to complete the action and Retreat even after discarding the 2 Fusion Strike Energy cards. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== TICKING TERROR (Spiritomb - SW: Brilliant Stars) <SWSH9_89>

Q. My Arceus V is active and I have Dunsparce with "Mysterious Nest" Ability on my bench. If my opponent uses Spritomb's "Ticking Terror" attack does Arceus V now have {D} weakness, or does "Mysterious Nest" keep it with no weakness?
A. The Ticking Terror attack would switch Arceus V's weakness to {D}, but then Dunsparce's Mysterious Nest would change Arceus V back to no weakness. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)

TRAINER CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== REPEAT BALL (XY: Primal Clash) <XY5_136>

Q. If I play Repeat Ball and choose a Pokemon that already has 2 in play and 2 in the discard pile, can I still search my deck for that Pokemon and fail?
A. You cannot search your deck since it is public knowledge that you won't find one because all four copies of the card are in known areas. If you have another valid target in play you must choose one of them; however, if you don't have a valid target the Repeat Ball goes back to your hand. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)

ENERGY CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== FUSION STRIKE ENERGY (SW: Fusion Strike) <SWSH8_244>

Q. If I have a confused Genesect V with 2 Fusion Strike Energy attached, and my opponent has a Cradily with the "Swaying Strangle" Ability, would I be able to Retreat after I have discarded the 2 Fusion Strike Energy cards as the cost, or would I no longer be able to Retreat?
A. Since you began the Retreat process while Swaying Strangle was prevented by the Fusion Strike Energy, you get to complete the action and Retreat even after discarding the 2 Fusion Strike Energy cards. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)

== RETREATING

Q. If I have a confused Genesect V with 2 Fusion Strike Energy attached, and my opponent has a Cradily with the "Swaying Strangle" Ability, would I be able to Retreat after I have discarded the 2 Fusion Strike Energy cards as the cost, or would I no longer be able to Retreat?
A. Since you began the Retreat process while Swaying Strangle was prevented by the Fusion Strike Energy, you get to complete the action and Retreat even after discarding the 2 Fusion Strike Energy cards. (Mar 31, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)
