META-RULINGS

* Whether a card's effect is optional or not is determined from the card text. If there is no explicit indication that you have a choice, then you don't have one and the effect is mandatory. (Sep 29, 2011 TPCi Rules Team)

ABILITIES/POKEMON POWERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== INSIGHT (Yanmega - HS:Triumphant)

Q. If Pidgeot attacks with "Headwind" against Yanmega with the "Insight" Poke-BODY, will "Headwind" increase Yanmega's attack costs or will "Insight" reset them to zero?
A. If an Attack Cost is set to zero by an effect, it cannot be increased. Note this is different than an Attack Cost that was reduced to zero by subtraction. Once a Pokemon's Attack Cost is set to zero by an effect, it stays at zero until that particular effect wears off. (Sep 29, 2011 TPCi Rules Team)

== HEADWIND (Pidgeot - HS:Triumphant; Pidgeot - Call of Legends)

Q. If Pidgeot attacks with "Headwind" against Yanmega with the "Insight" Poke-BODY, will "Headwind" increase Yanmega's attack costs or will "Insight" reset them to zero?
A. If an Attack Cost is set to zero by an effect, it cannot be increased. Note this is different than an Attack Cost that was reduced to zero by subtraction.

ENERGY CARDS

== RESCUE ENERGY (HS:Triumphant)

Q. Can I choose to put the Pokemon Rescue Energy is attached to in my Discard pile instead of back to my hand?
A. No, Rescue Energy states that you have to put all Pokemon cards back into your hand when it's KO'd by damage from an attack. (Sep 29, 2011 TPCi Rules Team)
