== LOST BURN (Magnezone - HS:Triumphant)

TRAINER CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== ALPH LITHOGRAPH (HS:Heart Gold/Soul Silver; HS:Unleashed; HS:Undaunted; HS:Triumphant)

Q. Can I have 4 copies of each Alph Lithograph card in my deck?
A. No, you may not. Each variant of Alph Lithograph does something different, but they all have the same card name. Just like you can have no more than 4 Pikachu in any combination, you can only have a maximum of 4 Alph Lithograph cards in your deck. When entering onto a decklist, make sure to list them on separate lines and include the set and card number on each line for clarity. (Sep 15, 2011 TPCi Rules Team)


== "ENERGIE - RÜCKGEWINNUNG" (HS:Triumphant; BW:Black & White)
[Ref. http://h1847728.stratoserver.net/tcgleipzig/forum/index.php?page=Thread&postID=8647#post8647]

Q. In Germany we have two different Trainer Cards with the same translation for the name. Both Energy Retrieval and Energy Returner are called "Energie - Rückgewinnung". How would this be handled in a Decklist? Can I have 4 of both?
A. In Japanese and English those are two different cards with completely different actions. You may have up to 4 of each in your deck, but on the decklist you should list them on separate lines and include the set and card number on each line for clarity. (Sep 15, 2011 TPCi Rules Team)

== PROFESSOR ELM'S TRAINING METHOD (HS:Heart Gold/Soul Silver; Call of Legends)

Q. Can I use Professor Elm's Training Method if there are zero cards left in my deck?
A. No, you cannot search through your deck if there's nothing there to search. If there are cards in the deck you can fail to find a Pokemon because you don't know what may be in a deck, but since you do know whether there are ANY cards or not you cannot search through an empty deck.

Q. Can I use Professor Elm's Training Method if there are zero cards left in my deck?
