    Another Rebirth Question

    Sorry for not having asked this earlier, but your response to the previous Rebirth question had me thinking. What if the card never left public zones? For example, I flip tails on Rebirth, use Revive, and knock the Revived Ho-Oh ex out with Reuniclus's Damage Swap. In this case, is leaving...

    Rebirth

    I have Ho-Oh ex in the discard pile. I unsuccessfully attempt the "Rebirth" flip. Then, I use Super Rod to shuffle it into my deck, Pokémon Communication to retrieve it, and finally I discard it with Ultra Ball. Does it count as the same Ho-Oh ex? Can I attempt "Rebirth" again with the same...

    K-Pop

    Title says it all. Discuss the K-Pop songs and groups that you like, new songs you want to recommend, etc. I'm a hopeless SNSD fan, and I also like T-Ara a good deal, and Kara somewhat. BoA's Korean songs are great, but I'm not really digging the English stuff. I love the boybands too (haters...

    Awhile ago, this question was asked in this forum: To which it was responded, However, isn't this a violation of the Meta-Ruling below? Thanks as always for the invaluable service you guys do the TCG community.

    Foul Play vs Zap Cannon

    Scenario A: Zoroark uses "Foul Play" to copy Klinklang's "Zap Cannon" and flips tails. During the attacking player's next turn, can he use "Foul Play" on Zoroark again, assuming the effect has not been removed by benching or similar means? If so, can he choose to copy Zap Cannon again...

    How Ditto works: from the Japanese FAQ

    For those who don't want to read, here is the pertinent stuff: If you bench Ditto and Transform, it does not break the evolution rule. BUT, if you bench Ditto, wait a turn and Transform, it CAN evolve right away. There are already tons of Ditto rulings on the Japanese site...

    Baby Evolution vs. Devolving

    Let's say I have a Jynx on my bench, evolved from Smoochum via "Baby Evolution": My opponent plays Espeon ex and activates "Devo Flash": My question is, if "Devo Flash" targets Jynx, will it have any effect? I know that while evolved from Smoochum, Jynx qualifies as an "Evolved Pokémon,"...

    Heavy Ball and Legends

    Hi, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but to be sure: While in the deck, do Legend halves have a retreat cost? I.e. could I use Heavy Ball to search out half of Kyogre & Groudon Legend? Thanks! EDIT: This is a duplicate; checked the Compendium before posting but not previous...

    Forgetting a Prize and Twins Follow-up

    Hi, I asked the question below and I'm afraid I didn't make my question clear: I understand that upon its being noticed the prize must be drawn and that player 1 is responsible for a broken game state. However, if before the mistake is noticed, player 2 activates Twins while the prizes are...

    Forgetting to take a Prize and Twins

    If player 1 knocks out one of player 2's Pokémon and forgets to take a prize card, then player 2 activates Twins when the number of prize cards they have is still the same (but player 1 should have fewer), is player 2 in violation of the rules, beyond his failure to remain aware of the game...

    Top Cut Caps and CP

    Having just gone to GA marathon, in which the masters division top cut was top 8 (the maximum) every time, I've begun to wonder why top cut caps are necessary. I could understand perhaps to avoid having a late finish to the tournament, but each additional round of top cut (usually 1) adds about...

    Gigalith Core Cannon clarification

    "This attack does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon for each [F] Energy attached to this Pokémon." This wording is different from that of cards with similar effects in the past; for example, Lickilicky TM's Licking Shot says "Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 10...

    Proxy sizes

    Not really sure if this is the right place to put this, but it seemed more appropriate than the other choices, since it has to do with testing. What size should a card scan be on Microsoft Word so that when I print it out, it fits nicely into a card sleeve as a proxy? Thanks in advance!

    The Future of Ratings Invites

    Unfortunately, someone whom I know was knocked out of the top 40 in NA after thinking he had the invite. It sucks to be on the bubble, but even more so if you appear in the top 40 for a few days. Next year, should OP simply take a certain rating number (say, the lowest rating which...

    Notes

    I know most players keep notes a secret; my question is, can I deliberately write a note which serves as a reminder (MAGNEZONE ON THE FIELD CAPABLE OF MAGNETIC DRAW, for example) and place it next to my active Pokémon in plain sight? Thank you!

    Allow members to run the 'What Won Battle Roads' threads

    I was reminded that I cannot post in the 'What Won' threads unless I have actual data. Admittedly, I did know this, but was unsure of where to put it. Also, the mod by whom I was reminded of this had posted in that same thread multiple times without offering any Battle Road results. Luckily for...

    Fighting Tag

    If my Machamp Prime is on the bench, can I use Fighting Tag even if my active Pokémon has no Fighting Energy attached? I'd assume no, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks! EDIT: Figured it out via Compendium. Silly me. For anyone who wants the answer it is no you cannot.

    Impersonate Twins

    Can I discard a Twins from my deck using Impersonate when I am not behind on prize cards? If so, will its effect be nullified? Since Twins says, "you may use this card only if you have more Prize cards left than your opponent," I would assume you can still activate its effect with...

    Fake Energy Spoilers

    Explosive Energy Explosive Energy provides C energy. If Explosive Energy remains attached to the same active Pokémon for one continuous turn, and that Pokémon does not leave the active position, Explosive Energy provides CCC energy as long as that Pokémon remains active. Fusion Energy +...

    Full disclosure format?

    With all the secrecy of techs and well-timed surprises in the format, I just sort of wonder what a format in which both players' decklists were public knowledge and placed on the table face-up at the beginning of the match would be like. It would essentially kill the art of the secret tech but...
