== GENOME HACKING (Mew ex - SV: Pokemon 151) <SV35_151>

Q. Can Mew ex's "Genome Hacking" attack use Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack to repeatedly get extra turns?
A. Yes, Genome Hacking on Yoga Loop could work infinitely, if you're able to pull it off! (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

Q. Do I have to meet the energy requirements for the attack I choose with Mew ex's "Genome Hacking" attack?
A. No, you do not have to meet the energy requirements for the attack. However, if the attack says you must do something or the attack does nothing, that part still has to be done. (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)


== PUNISHING SCISSORS (Scizor - SV: Obsidian Flames) <SV3_141>

Q. Say my opponent has 3 Genesect V on the bench and Path to the Peak is in play. If I attack with Scizor's "Punishing Scissors" attack, do I do 10 damage or 160 damage?
A. When Path to the Peak is in play Genesect V has no Abilities, so Punishing Scissors would only do 10 damage in this situation. (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

Q. If I'm using Scizor's "Punishing Scissors" attack and one of my opponent's V Pokemon has Forest Seal Stone attached, does my attack do an extra 50 damage for it?
A. No, the V Pokemon does not *have* the Star Alchemy Ability, it only can use it. (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)


== YOGA LOOP (Medicham V - Evolving Skies) <SWSH7_83>

Q. Can Mew ex's "Genome Hacking" attack use Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack to repeatedly get extra turns?
A. Yes, Genome Hacking on Yoga Loop could work infinitely, if you're able to pull it off! (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

== DAISY'S HELP (SV: Pokemon 151) <SV35_158>

Q. When I play Daisy's Help can I rearrange my Prize Cards after looking at them?
A. No, you cannot. You need to return the cards to their original positions. (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)


== ERIKA'S INVITATION (SV: Pokemon 151) <SV35_160>

Q. Can you play Erika's Invitation if your opponent's Bench is full?
A. No. It's public knowledge that you can't put down any additional Basic Pokemon on your opponent's Bench, so you cannot play the card. (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

Q. When using Erika's Invitation can I choose to NOT put any Basic Pokemon onto my opponent's bench, or do I have to put at least one down if I'm able to?
A. If you find a Basic Pokemon in your opponent's hand you must put it onto their Bench. (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)


== FOREST SEAL STONE (SW: Silver Tempest) <SWSH12_156>

Q. If I'm using Scizor's "Punishing Scissors" attack and one of my opponent's V Pokemon has Forest Seal Stone attached, does my attack do an extra 50 damage for it?
A. No, the V Pokemon does not *have* the Star Alchemy Ability, it only can use it. (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)


== GRABBER (SV: Pokemon 151) <SV35_162>

Q. If I use Grabber, do I have to put one of the opponent's Pokemon from their hand on the bottom of their deck?
A. Yes, if you find a Pokemon in their hand you must do it. Grabber does not say "you may". (Sep 28, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)


== PATH TO THE PEAK (SW: Chilling Reign) <SWSH6_48>

Q. Say my opponent has 3 Genesect V on the bench and Path to the Peak is in play. If I attack with Scizor's "Punishing Scissors" attack, do I do 10 damage or 160 damage?
