== DEW GUARD (Milotic - SW: Evolving Skies) <SWSH7_38>

Q. If I have Milotic with "Dew Guard" Ability in play, what happens if my opponent plays Choy?
A. Dew Guard prevents you from revealing your hand, but your opponent still reveals their hand and draws 3 cards. (Sep 29, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)

Q. If I have Milotic with "Dew Guard" Ability in play, what happens if my opponent plays Riley?
A. Your opponent reveals the top 5 cards of their deck but you would not choose 2 cards, and they get to put all 5 cards into their hand. (Sep 29, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== ETERNAL ZONE (Eternatus VMAX - SW: Darkness Ablaze) <SWSH3_117>

Q. Can I use Thorton to put a non-Dark Basic Pokémon from my discard pile onto my bench if I have Eternatus VMAX with the "Eternal Zone" Ability in play?
A. No, you can't play Thorton at all if there aren't any Basic {D} Pokémon in your discard pile. (Sep 29, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== FLOWER SELECTING (Comfey - SW: Lost Origin) <SWSH11_79>

Q. If I have Comfey in play and I use its "Flower Selecting" Ability, can I then use Thorton to switch it with a different Comfey and use "Flower Selecting" from the new Comfey?
A. No, that won't work. Even though the new Comfey is a different Pokémon than the first one, it remembers the Flower Selecting Ability was already used this turn so you cannot use it again on that Pokémon. (Sep 29, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== POISON PEAK (Radiant Hisuian Sneasler - SW: Lost Origin) <SWSH11_123>

Q. Does a poisoned Fusion Strike Pokémon with Fusion Strike Energy attached take additional damage counters from Radiant Hisuian Sneasler's "Poison Peak" Ability?
A. No, because Poison Peak is an Ability and Fusion Strike Energy prevents all effects of your opponent's Pokémon's Abilities. (Sep 29, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== SHELL SURVIVAL (Shedinja - SW: Vivid Voltage) <SWSH4_66>

Q. Can I use Thorton to put a Shedinja with "Shell Survival" Ability onto my bench?

== FLY (Flying Pikachu V - SW: Pokémon GO) <SWSH105_6>

Q. If I use Fantina and then my Flying Pikachu V with Big Parasol attached uses its "Fly" attack and successfully lands heads, would my opponent's Giratina V's "Shred" attack do any damage to Flying Pikachu V or not?
A. Shred isn't affected by "any effects on the Defending Pokémon"; so the effects from Fantina and Big Parasol and Fly would all be ignored, and Shred would do damage. (Sep 29, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== SHRED (Giratina V - SW: Lost Origin) <SWSH11_130>

Q. If I use Fantina and then my Flying Pikachu V with Big Parasol attached uses its "Fly" attack and successfully lands heads, would my opponent's Giratina V's "Shred" attack do any damage to Flying Pikachu V or not?
