Silver Tempest FAQ

SW: Silver Tempest – FAQ

POKEMON ABILITIES:

== ENTRUSTED WISHES (Radiant Jirachi – SW:Silver Tempest)

* When Radiant Jirachi is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent’s attack, using its “Entrusted Wishes” Ability is mandatory. You must search your deck, and you must take at least 1 card if you are able to.

== HEAT BOOST (Rapidash – SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. If I have multiple Rapidash in play can I use each one of their “Heat Boost” Abilities once per turn, or do I only get to use a maximum of one “Heat Boost” per turn regardless of how many I have in play?

{A. Each Rapidash can use its own Heat Boost during the turn, but only one time each.  And when you use Heat Boost multiple times you have to discard a separate {R} Energy card for each one and your {R} Pokemon’s attacks do +30 more damage per Ability used.}

== NEEDLE LINE (Chesnaught V – SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. If I have multiple Chesnaught V with the “Needle Line” Ability in play, will each of them put 3 damage counters on the Attacking Pokemon, or does “Needle Line” only work for the Active Chesnaught V?

{A. Each separate Needle Line Ability will stack to add 3 more damage counters to the Attacking Pokemon, but only when the Active Chesnaught V is damaged by an attack.}

== SUMMONING STAR (Lugia VSTAR – SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. Can I use Lugia VSTAR’s “Summoning Star” Ability to put a Colorless Stage 2 Pokemon from my discard pile directly onto my bench?

{A. Yes, Summoning Star can put any Stage of Colorless Pokemon onto the Bench from your discard pile as long as it doesn’t have a Rule Box.}

== STAR CIPHER (Unown VSTAR – SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. If my opponent has no Weakness and I use Unown VSTAR’s “Star Cipher” Ability, will my opponent’s Pokemon become weak to Psychic?

{A. If an opponent’s Pokemon has no Weakness printed on the card, Star Cipher will give that Pokemon a x2 Weakness to Psychic.}

== TRANSISTOR (Regieleki VMAX – SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. If I have multiple Regieleki VMAX with the “Transistor” Ability in play, will my Basic {L} Pokemon’s attacks do +30 more damage for each one?

{A. Yes, the Transistor Ability will stack.}

POKEMON ATTACKS:

== FOLLOW-UP (Cobalion – SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. For Cobalion’s “Follow-Up” attack, can I choose a Benched Pokemon, search for a basic Energy card and attach it, and then choose my second Benched Pokemon and search my deck for a basic Energy card to attach to it?

{A. No, you need to choose both (or choose only one) of your Benched Pokemon first before making any searches of your deck.}

== PURSUIT BLAST (Skuntank V – SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. When I use Skuntank V’s “Pursuit Blast” attack, do I get to do 120 damage if the opponent’s Benched Pokemon I choose was switched out of the Active Spot or no?

{A. No, Pursuit Blast only does 120 damage if the chosen Pokemon *retreated* during the opponent’s last turn.}

TRAINER CARDS:

== EARTHEN SEAL STONE (SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. Can I use the VSTAR Powers of Earthen Seal Stone or Forest Seal Stone if they are attached to Pokemon-V that have not evolved into a Pokemon VSTAR yet?

{A. Yes, you can.}

ENERGY CARDS:

{A. Yes, Regenerative Energy will stack.}

== V GUARD ENERGY (SW:Silver Tempest)

Q. If I have multiple V Guard Energy cards attached to a single Pokemon, will they each prevent 30 damage from my opponent’s Pokemon V’s attacks?
