THETA STOP (Mega Sceptile EX - XY: Ancient Origins; Malamar - XY: Promo;
others)
Q. If I use Absol's "Cursed Eyes" Ability to move three damage
counters from one of my opponent's Pokemon to another, what happens if I choose
a Pokemon with the "Theta Stop" Ancient Trait?
A. Since Theta Stop prevents all
effects of Abilities done by your Pokemon, if you choose to move the damage
counters to a Pokemon with Theta Stop the damage counters would be discarded
rather than moved onto that Pokemon. However, if you choose a Pokemon with
Theta Stop as the source of where the damage counters would be moved from, they
simply are not moved and the Cursed Eyes ability stops there. (Sep 3, 2015 TPCi

but since Theta Stop prevents all effects of Abilities done by your Pokemon the
damage counters would be discarded rather than moved to the Pokemon with Theta
Stop. (Sep 3, 2015 TPCi Rules

==DECK
Q.
Must I have my Deck and Discard Pile on the right side of the field, or can I
have it on the left side (it's easier for me on the left because I am
left-handed)?
A. The standard play layout is to have the Deck & Discard Pile on
the right side and prizes on the left side, but having them the other way around
is also permitted. (Sep 10, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Must I have my Deck
above my Discard Pile on the field, or can I have it the other way around?
A.
The Deck and Discard Pile must be on the same side of the field (either left or
right), arranged one above the other. The standard play layout is to have the
Discard Pile below the deck, but having the Deck below the Discard Pile is also
permitted. (Sep 10, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
