== GUARD (Unown G - Great Encounters)
Q. If my Active Pokemon is attacked with "Sonic Blade", can I choose a Pokemon on my bench with Unown-G's "GUARD" Poke-POWER attached to it and prevent the switching portion of "Sonic Blade"?
A. Yes, you may do this. (Sep 11, 2008 PUI Rules Team)
Q. Can Unown-G's "GUARD" Poke-POWER prevent the effect of my opponent's Froslass's "Destiny Bond" attack last turn?
A. The effect of Destiny Bond is on Frosslass. The Unown G’s Poké-Power GUARD will protect your Pokémon (that has Unown G attached to it) from being Knocked Out. (Sep 11, 2008 PUI Rules Team)
Q. If my opponent uses Sandslash's "Spike Armor" attack, but then on my turn I attack Sandslash with a Pokemon having Unown-G attached with its "GUARD" Poke-POWER, would Sandslash's "Spike Armor" be able to place any damage counters on my Pokemon or not?
A. The effect of Spike Armor is on Sandslash. The Unown G’s Poké-Power GUARD will prevent the effect of your opponent’s attacks, so you don’t put damage counters on your Active Pokémon (that has Unown G attached to it) after doing damage to Sandslash. (Sep 11, 2008 PUI Rules Team)
