== ALLERGY PANIC (Vileplume - BW: Boundaries Crossed)
Q. If a Pokemon normally has no Weakness, does Vileplume's "Allergy Panic" Ability give it a x4 Weakness instead?
A. No, if a Pokemon doesn't have Weakness, you cannot *apply* any Weakness multiplier to it at all. (Boundaries Crossed FAQ; Nov 8, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If I use Cresselia-EX's "Psychic Protection" attack, does Vileplume's "Allergy Panic" Ability override and give it a x4 Weakness instead?
A. No, since there is no longer a weakness there is nothing for Allergy Panic to multiply. (Boundaries Crossed FAQ; Nov 8, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== STICKINESS (Jellicent - BW: Boundaries Crossed)
Q. If a Pokemon normally has no Retreat Cost, does Jellicent's "Stickiness" Ability give it a Retreat Cost of (*) instead?
A. Yes, Stickiness adds +1 to each of the opponent's Pokemon's Retreat Costs. However, if the Retreat Costs are set to zero by an effect such as Darkrai-EX's "Dark Cloak" Ability, they cannot be increased by Stickiness. (Boundaries Crossed FAQ; Nov 8, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== TRANSFORM (Ditto - BW: Boundaries Crossed)
Q. If I have Ditto with "Transform" in play this turn, on my next turn can I put a Basic Pokemon from my hand on top of Ditto and then immediately evolve it into a Stage 1 or use Rare Candy to evolve it to Stage 2?
A. Yes, you can. Ditto says "Any cards attached to this Pokemon, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects remain on the new Pokemon"; so as long as Ditto has been in play for more than a turn it satisfies the evolutionary requirement, and the Basic Pokemon card placed on Ditto can be evolved or used with Rare Candy immediately.

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== AMNESIA (Golduck - BW: Boundaries Crossed)
Q. If my opponent has Celebi-EX with "Time Recall" in play, can I use Golduck's "Amnesia" attack to prevent the Defending Pokemon from using one of its previous evolution's attacks?
{A. No, you can only use Amnesia on the attacks that are present on the opponent's card at the time of your attack. (Mar 10, 2005 PUI Rules Team; Boundaries Crossed FAQ; Nov 8, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)

TRAINER CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== CRYSTAL WALL (BW: Boundaries Crossed)
Q. If Crystal Wall is attached to Black Kyurem-EX, can anything raise its maximum HP beyond 300 (ike if it were somehow made Colorless and Aspertia City Gym is in play)?
A. Crystal Wall essentially replaces Black Kyurem-EX's printed HP with 300, and anything to add or reduce HP would work accordingly. (Boundaries Crossed FAQ; Nov 8, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== SKYLA (BW: Boundaries Crossed)
Q. Since Skyla says "Search your deck for a Trainer card", does this allow me to search for any kind of Trainer including Supporters, and Stadiums?
A. Yes, it does. The current definition of "Trainers" includes Items, Supporters, and Stadiums. (Boundaries Crossed FAQ; Nov 8, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
