== DISTORTION DOOR (Giratina - SM: Lost Thunder)
Q. How does Slaking's "Lazy" Ability or any other form of Ability denial that only applies to Pokemon "in play" interact with Abilities like Giratina's "Distortion Door" Ability that puts a Pokemon card from the discard pile onto your bench?
A. Since Distortion Door happens when Giratina is not in play, you can use it to put Giratina onto the bench regardless of Lazy or other similar Abilities. You also get to put the damage counters onto your opponent's benched Pokemon too, because you must complete the action of Distortion Door prior to it being shutoff due to Lazy.

== LAZY (Slaking - SM: Celestial Storm)
Q. How does Slaking's "Lazy" Ability or any other form of Ability denial that only applies to Pokemon "in play" interact with Abilities like Giratina's "Distortion Door" Ability that puts a Pokemon card from the discard pile onto your bench?

== VICTORY STAR (Victini - SM: Guardians Rising; others)
Q. If I use Sylveon's "Wink Wink" attack to have my opponent discard Ilima, can I use Victini's "Victory Star" Ability to force my opponent to re-flip their coins?
A. Yes, you can. If your opponent flips a coin as part of your Pokemon's attack, you can use "Victory Star" to force them to re-flip those coins; but keep in mind you will have to re-flip your coins for Ilima too. (Nov 15, 2018 TPCi Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== SHINING WIND (Gardevoir EX - XY: Primal Clash)
Q. If my opponent used Gardevoir EX's "Shining Wind" attack to gain "no Weakness" and I play Pokemon Ranger when it is my turn, does their Gardevoir EX have a Weakness again?
A. Yes. The ruling about effects on Weakness and Resistance not being ignored has to do with damage calculations [see "General Gameplay -> Weakness and Resistance" section for reference], not about whether a Pokemon HAS Weakness or Resistance. Pokemon Ranger removes attack effects, including this one; so yes, Gardevoir EX would have Weakness again after using Pokemon Ranger. (Nov 15, 2018 TPCi Rules Team)
== WINK WINK (Sylveon - SM:Forbidden Light)
Q. If I use Sylveon's "Wink Wink" attack to have my opponent discard Ilima, can I use Victini's "Victory Star" Ability to force my opponent to re-flip their coins?
A. Yes, you can. If your opponent flips a coin as part of your Pokemon's attack, you can use "Victory Star" to force them to re-flip those coins; but keep in mind you will have to re-flip your coins for Ilima too. (Nov 15, 2018 TPCi Rules Team)

== ILIMA (SM: Sun & Moon)
Q. If I use Sylveon's "Wink Wink" attack to have my opponent discard Ilima, can I use Victini's "Victory Star" Ability to force my opponent to re-flip their coins?

== POKEMON RANGER (XY: Steam Siege)
Q. If my opponent used Gardevoir EX's "Shining Wind" attack to gain "no Weakness" and I play Pokemon Ranger when it is my turn, does their Gardevoir EX have a Weakness again?
A. Yes. The ruling about effects on Weakness and Resistance not being ignored has to do with damage calculations [see "General Gameplay -> Weakness and Resistance" section for reference], not about whether a Pokemon HAS Weakness or Resistance. Pokemon Ranger removes attack effects, including the one from Shining Wind; so yes, Gardevoir EX would have Weakness again after using Pokemon Ranger. (Nov 15, 2018 TPCi Rules Team)
