    Liepard PLS and Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick

    If a card Like Liepard PLS or Sableye SF would copy the effect of Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick, could I still use that effect. Specifically I'm wondering how I could meet the requirement "You can play this card only when it is the last card in your hand." since the card wasn't in my hand to begin...

    Delta Evolution and Pokemon Breeder

    I know that you can't use Rare Candy on the first turn, even if the Pokemon has the Delta Evolution ancient trait. Could you use Pokemon Breeder on the first turn though, with that same Delta Evolution Pokemon? The phrasing that makes me think it would be different is from the Breeder -...

    Poke-powers, Poke-bodies, and Abilities

    Someone at my league said it has been officially ruled that any reference to Abilities also includes Poke-powers and Poke-bodies. E.g. Garbodor (Dragons Exalted 54) 's Garbotoxin would turn off Claydol (Great Encounters 15) 's Cosmic Power poke-power. Is this true? Apologies if this question...

    An Idea to improve unlimited play/ a non-ban list approach to alternative formats

    If you are like me, you appreciate the emphasis of synergy that the Pokemon TCG has, which is not nearly as prevalent in games like Magic or Yugioh (imo). For about 6 years I have run a league that has nothing but unlimited players. For some this was due to the low cost of non-modified cards...

    Various Unlimited format questions

    1. In an unlimited format, if a card has been reprinted, do you use the modern text of the card? E.g. Do I have to play my base set Bill as a supporter and my Base set Pokemon Center as a stadium even though we are playing unlimited? 2. If I have Darkrai Lv.X in play, do basic non-dark...

    Lv.X and abilities

    Can a pokemon Lv.X use the abilities of the card underneath it, e.g. gardevoir. I know there is no relation between powers/bodies and abilities but I have often here that "a pokemon Lv.X is an extension of the pokemon it leveled-up from" which makes me wishful that there might be some exception...

    Black and White Rare Candy

    I was wondering if the new text for Rare Candy that has come about with Black and White means that unlike the similar incarnation Pokemon Breeder, even if your pokemon can evolve the turn you played it by means of Broken Time Space or Duskull SW's reaper cloth, you still can't use a rare candy...
