Sorry it has taken so long to get the March 9th Rulings posted. We've been busy planning something. :biggrin:
A few odds and ends along with an answer to the much anticipated Arcanine-EX/Holons providing 2 energy ruling. (Did it go the way you thought it would?)

== DARKEST IMPULSE (Dark Ampharos - EX:Team Rocket Returns)
Q. If my opponent has a Benched Dark Ampharos in play, and I evolve Eevee to Espeon-EX, how do the "Darkest Impulse" and "Devo Flash" effects resolve?
A. The effects would be simultaneous. The player whose turn it is would choose the order in which they would be played. (Mar 9, 2006 PUI Rules Team)
== DEVO FLASH (Espeon EX - EX:Unseen Forces)
Q. If my opponent has a Benched Dark Ampharos in play, and I evolve Eevee to Espeon-EX, how do the "Darkest Impulse" and "Devo Flash" effects resolve?
A. The effects would be simultaneous. The player whose turn it is would choose the order in which they would be played. (Mar 9, 2006 PUI Rules Team)
== FIRE REMEDY (Arcanine EX - EX:Legend Maker)
Q. What happens if I attach a "Holon's" Pokemon (providing more than 1 Energy) to Arcanine-EX? Does "Fire Remedy" remove 1 or 2 damage counters?
A. Fire Remedy is triggered by the act of attaching an Energy - it doesn't matter if the Energy card provides more than 1 Energy, it just removes 1 damage counter. (Mar 9, 2006 PUI Rules Team)
== TYPE CHANGE (Mew - EX:Legend Maker)
Q. If I use Mew's "Type Change" power to copy a new type for Mew, and then I play Swoop!Teleporter to switch Mew for a new Basic Pokemon, does the new Pokemon keep the modified type Mew was changed into?
A. Yes. It's an effect, and any effect on the original Pokemon stays with the new one when you play Swoop!. (Mar 9, 2006 PUI Rules Team)
== VERSATILE (Mew EX - EX:Legend Maker)
Q. If I use Mew-EX's "Versatile" Poke-Body to pick up an attack, would I have to pay requirements or effects for that attack?
A. Yes, absolutely. Mew-EX lets you copy an attack, but you copy everything about that attack, including requirements or effects to use it. (Mar 9, 2006 PUI Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== MUDSLIDE (Steelix EX - EX:Unseen Forces)
Q. I attack with my confused Steelix-EX, using "Mudslide". Do I discard two Fighting energy if I fail the confusion flip?
A. You discard the energy after the confusion flip, and then only if the attack is successful. Discarding energy is not a requirement to do the attack; it is an effect of the attack, which does not happen if you flip tails. (Mar 9, 2006 PUI Rules Team)
