This is from the "ask the rules team" forum. Official rulings on each interaction with an explanation for each. http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?185363-Omega-Barrier-Questions Hope this helps, Mithos

α Growth: When you attach an Energy card from your hand to this Pokemon (except with an attack, Ability, or Trainer card), you may attach 2 Energy cards. My understanding is that when would would attach one, you may elect to attach another at the same time, (two total). I assume that it does...

I have a few questions about the interaction of Omega Barrier and various trainer cards. Omega Barrier: Whenever your opponent plays a Trainer card (excluding Pokémon Tools and Stadium cards), prevent all effects of that card done to this Pokémon Lysandre - What is the target? Is the target...

Hi there, I have a few questions regarding the new set cards that I will ask in separate threads so that each one can be closed out with an answer, allowing other questions that need to be left open in their own thread, rather than with things that can be answered easily. Can a Pokemon use two...

Hi, so we had a question come up that we couldn't decide on. Genesect ex uses g booster against a primal-groudon ex with a weakness policy attached. Their argument is that booster ignores all effects and as such ignores the change in weakness. Therfore it would deal 400 damage. My argument...

Benching ends all effects. As does evolving. The word defending indicates the pokemon that was hit. The effect is not transferred toa new active pokemon. Hope that helps! Enjoy the new set. I know I will! Cheers, Mithos

I do agree with you about Victini's fragility along with Lysandre. I don't think that you're attacking with Malamar overly much, so targetting it on the bench with Lysandre is probably a waste of their supporter for turn, nor does it stop you completely. I would argue that the Aromatisse would...

I'm not telling you to change it, but just something for you to consider. Here in Adelaide we have had a few people play something similar. It uses Aromatisse. Still with the Yveltal EX and uses a blend of fairy, dark and rainbow. THe benefit to using Aromatisse is that you are more likely to...

Also, after having looked at your deck and your premise I just realised something. I would consider dropping the Victini EX and the Garb for more Virizion EX and basic grass energy. Victini only hits basic energy in the deck, which means you can only hit the three fire or grass energy. It is...

There was a guy here in Adelaide that played a deck with a similar theme. He didn't use Shaymin/Victini. It focussed on the Virizion/Mega-Venusaur as attackers, where the Virizion would attack to set up a couple of Venusaurs while dealing damage. When the time was right he would mega-evolve...

There are a few options that I can see. If your issue is the randomness of prizes then consider a) Playing with prizes face up. It allows you to know what is prized, but your opponent can see as well, meaning if they can see that a key card is prized then they might try everything to prevent...

As far as theme decks go I think the XY releases were quite reasonable, with Yveltal and Xerneas as headliners. Both are decent bases, with room to edit and put more stuff in. It means that both are tournament legal if she ever wants to go to an event and they play out relatively simply so she...

Howdy all, I was wondering what the rules are relating to what items can be used to indicate poison/burn. I was hoping I could mount a Pokemon marble so that it would remain still and use that as a custom made condition marker. I would be using a poison type as a poison marker (ie...

Not quite, Dimensional Valley reduces cost of attacks for psychic Pokemon by one colourless. Gourgiest's first attack is a single Psychic. So it is the same as Weezing. The difference is that Weezing has the aftermath ability (if you would prefer that) and deals damage. Gourgiest places damage...

Howdy, (possibly something that Richard O'hara - the rich Texan says) My first two options from recent times are XY base set and Furious Fists. Good stuff in either. My first preference is XY just because it has a reasonable amount of good supporters (sycamore is great, Shauna is ok) in there...
