== ANCIENT WISDOM (Regigigas - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_130>

Q. Can I use Regirock V, etc. to satisfy the requirements for Regigigas' "Ancient Wisdom" Ability?
A. No, you cannot. Ancient Wisdom is checking for exactly those card names, so Regirock V etc. wouldn't count. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== CONCEALED CARDS (Radiant Greninja - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_46>

Q. When using Radiant Greninja's "Concealed Cards" Ability, can I discard an Energy card from my hand, and then later during my turn draw 2 cards?
A. No, you must draw the 2 cards immediately after discarding the Energy card. "Once during your turn" means you cannot use this Radiant Greninja's Concealed Cards Ability multiple times during the same turn. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== DRAGON'S HOARD (Regidrago - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_118>

Q. If I have multiple Regidrago in play, can I use each of their "Dragon's Hoard" Abilities during my turn?
A. No, you may not. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== GNAWING AURA (Galarian Cursola V - SW: Champion's Path) <SWSH35_21>

Q. If my opponent has a Galarian Cursola V's "Gnawing Aura" Ability in play, if I use Zarude V's "Jungle Rising" attack and attach any energy cards to one of my Benched Pokémon, do I place the damage counters for "Gnawing Aura" first and then heal, or vice versa?
A. The player using Jungle Rising gets to choose which order to place damage first and then heal, or heal first and then place the damage counters for "Gnawing Aura". (May 5, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


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

Q. If I play Phoebe while my opponent has a Dunsparce with "Mysterious Nest" Ability in play, do my Pokémon VMAX's attacks calculate Weakness if applicable or not?
A. The term "any effects" does not include effects that alter Weakness and Resistance. So Phoebe does not allow you to ignore Mysterious Nest's effect. (May 5, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== RESONANT EVOLUTION (Eevee - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_119>

Q. If I have multiple Eevee with "Resonant Evolution" in play, can each of them trigger if I evolve one other Eevee? Or do I have to evolve a separate Eevee for each one?
A. If you have multiple Eevee in play, playing a card from your hand to evolve 1 of them would trigger every Resonant Evolution. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== STAR ABYSS (Darkrai VSTAR - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_99>

Q. When using Darkrai VSTAR's "Star Abyss" Ability, can I use the Ability first, and then later put 2 Item cards into my hand?
A. No, you must take the 2 Item cards immediately when using Star Abyss. "During your turn" simply means you cannot use this Ability multiple times during the same turn. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== STAR PORTAL (Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_40>

Q. Can I use Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR's "Star Portal" Ability to retrieve Wash Energy or Rapid Strike Energy from the discard pile?
A. No, Star Portal can only get basic {W} Energy, but Wash Energy and Rapid Strike Energy do not count as {W} Energy in the discard pile (nor in the deck, etc.). (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== SUPERNATURAL ORB (Hisuian Typhlosion - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_52>

Q. Can I use Hisuian Typhlosion's "Supernatural Orb" Ability if my opponent's Active Pokémon is already both Burned and Confused?
A. You may use Supernatural Orb if your opponent's Active Pokémon is either Burned OR Confused (or neither), but not if it is already both Burned AND Confused. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== SWELLING TUNE (Kricketune - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_10>

Q. If I have Kricketune's "Swelling Tune" Ability in play, do my Kricketune Vs get +40 HP or not?
A. Swelling Tune is specifically referring to Kricketune, but "Kricketune V" is a different card name so it would get +40 HP. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== WILY STANCE (Hisuian Samurott - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_100>

Q. Can I use Hisuian Samurott's "Wily Stance" Ability if there are no cards in my deck, just to discard an Energy?

== ENTANGLED DIVE (Golduck - SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_29>

== JUNGLE RISING (Zarude V - SW:Vivid Voltage) <SWSH4_22>

Q. If my opponent has a Galarian Cursola V's "Gnawing Aura" Ability in play, if I use Zarude V's "Jungle Rising" attack and attach any energy cards to one of my Benched Pokémon, do I place the damage counters for "Gnawing Aura" first and then heal, or vice versa?
A. The player using Jungle Rising gets to choose which order to place damage first and then heal, or heal first and then place the damage counters for "Gnawing Aura". (May 5, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)

A. No, you cannot. (May 5, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== CANCELING COLOGNE (SW: Astral Radiance) <SWSH10_136>

Q. If I play "Canceling Cologne" and then somehow switch out the opponent's Active Pokémon, does the new Active Pokémon have its Abilities or not?
A. The effect of Canceling Cologne is on the opponent's Active Pokémon position rather than on the Pokémon itself. So if the opponent's Active Pokémon changes after Canceling Cologne has been played, the new Active Pokémon would have its Ability removed and the previous Pokémon would have its Ability restored. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== PHOEBE (SW: Battle Styles) <SWSH5_130>

Q. If I play Phoebe while my opponent has a Dunsparce with "Mysterious Nest" Ability in play, do my Pokémon VMAX's attacks calculate Weakness if applicable or not?

GENERAL GAMEPLAY
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== DECKS

Q. Normally in a Prerelease you can play as many of a specific card as you have. Does this mean I can play multiple Radiant Pokémon in my deck?
A. No you may not, because it is stated on the card that you can only have 1 total Radiant Pokémon in your deck, regardless of the tournament format. (Astral Radiance FAQ; May 26, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)
