== TECHNICAL MACHINE: EVOLUTION (SV: Paradox Rift) <SV4_178>
== TECHNICAL MACHINE: TURBO ENERGIZE (SV: Paradox Rift) <SV4_179>
Q. Can Cramorant with the "Lost Provisions" Ability use an attack from a Technical Machine such as TM:Blindside for no energy cost if there are 4 cards in the Lost Zone?

Q. If I attach a TM like Technical Machine:Blindside to my Snorlax Doll, can it use its "Blindside" attack?

== VENGEFUL PUNCH (SV: Obsidian Flames) <SV3_197>
Q. If I attack with Golurk V's "Rewind Beam" and do enough damage to KO my opponent's evolved Pokemon that has the Vengeful Punch tool attached, does Golurk V take 4 damage counters?
A. No. Rewind Beam devolves the Defending Pokemon, and when its earlier stage is Knocked Out that is no longer the Pokemon that had taken damage from the attack. (Nov 9, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

== LUMINOUS ENERGY (SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_191>
Q. If I use Tinkaton's "Alloyed Hammer" attack with only one Luminous Energy attached, does it do 60 or 180 damage?
A. The Luminous Energy pays the {P} attack cost but also counts as all energy types including {M}, so you would do the bonus damage for a total of 180 damage. (Nov 9, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
