== CAPTIVATING WINK (Mawile GX - SM: Unified Minds)
Q. If I have Eternatus VMAX with the "Eternal Zone" Ability in play, can my opponent use Mawile GX's "Captivating Wink" Ability to play any non-Darkness Pokemon onto my bench?
A. No, if Eternal Zone is working, your opponent cannot force you to put any non-Darkness Pokemon into play. (Sep 24, 2020 TPCi Rules Team)
== ETERNAL ZONE (Eternatus VMAX - SW: Darkness Ablaze)
Q. If I have Eternatus VMAX with the "Eternal Zone" Ability in play, can my opponent use Mawile GX's "Captivating Wink" Ability to play any non-Darkness Pokemon onto my bench?
A. No, if Eternal Zone is working, your opponent cannot force you to put any non-Darkness Pokemon into play. (Sep 24, 2020 TPCi Rules Team)
== NIGHTMARE STAR (Darkrai {*} - SM: Ultra Prism)
Q. I know using Darkrai {*}'s "Nightmare Star" Ability is optional, but can I choose to attach only one Darkness Energy card if I have two in my hand?
A. Since the contents of the hand is not public knowledge, you may attach only one if you wish. (Sep 17, 2020 TPCi Rules Team)
== VICTORY STAR (Victini - BW: Noble Victories)
Q. Can I use both Victini's "Victory Star" Ability and Glimwood Tangle stadium to reflip coins from an attack twice?
A. No, you cannot. You can use either the ability or the stadium, but not both of them. As a general rule, you can't use more than one reflip effect at a time. (Sep 24, 2020 TPCi Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== POISON CULTIVATION (Dragalge - SM: Cosmic Eclipse)
Q. If my already-poisoned Pokemon is hit by Dragalge's "Poison Cultivation" attack then I use Switch while Dust Island is in play, is my new Active Pokemon poisoned with a regular condition (only one damage counter in between turns) or with the effect from "Poison Cultivation" (ten damage counters in between turns)?
A. If the Poison effect places more than one damage counter during the Pokemon Recovery phase between turns, then switching the Pokemon out using a Trainer card while Dust Island is in play will retain the modified Poison effect of placing multiple damage counters on the new Active Pokemon.
