Ampharos' Ability Electormagnetic Wall states that if Ampharos is Active, whenever your opponent attaches an Energy to a Pokemon from his or her hand, put 3 damage counters on that Pokemon. As it does not say Energy Card does that mean that a DCE attachment would add 6 damage counters?

Cobalion EX's Attack Steel Bullet states that it is not affected by Weakness, Resistance or any other affects on the defending Pokemon. Sigilyph's Ability states that it prevents all affects of Attacks, including damage, done by Pokemon EX. Am I correct in assuming that, as the Attack must...

I'd just like to confirm that you could not use Spiritomb's "Darkness Grace" to evolve a Baby Pokemon because the "evolving" card does not say "evolves from". Similar to this ruling about Rare Candy: Q. Can I use Rare Candy to evolve a Baby Pokémon into its next stage? What about the newer...

If a Pokemon is Ko'd as a result of devoluting is that considered a KO from damage or a KO from an effect? I am asking in reference to whether Rescue Energy is activated. My thinking is that it would be a KO by effect, since the attack itself is not doing any damage.

I had a thought, as a result of getting a couple of questions wrong on the Professor Test. When I saw which questions I got wrong I kicked myself because I felt pretty strongly that if I was actually looking at the card, which would be the case in a real judging situation, I would have got the...

Does Weavile UD's Feint Attack get through the effects of Umbreon UD's Moonlight Fang? Weavile has a Poke-Power, however Feint Attack states: This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies or any other effects on that Pokemon. I am not sure if "prevent...

When a Pokemon goes the discard pile, for example a regularly evolved Stage 2 Pokemon, do its pre-evolutions count as separate Pokemon in the discard pile? I am assuming yes, otherwise you would be able to get them all back at once with Pokemon Rescue. My question is in reference to...

Does the ruling cited below also apply to Hippopotas' Attack "Push Down" - Your opponent switches the Defending Pokemon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokemon? Similarly, does the ruling also apply to Zangoose's "Invite and Strike"? There seems to be some conflicting information about this...

Does elvolving remove all effects of a previous attack on the defender , in addition to removing any special conditions? E.g. Poison Bind - defender is poisoned and can't retreat. If the Pokemon is then evolved on its turn, is the "can't retreat" effect removed?

Would the game be better if, at the beginning of the game, instead only being able to reshuffle and redeal when you had no Basic Pokemon, you could do it by free choice, as many times as you wished? The penalty would stay the same, your opponent may draw an extra card each time you redeal. I...

Burmy's "Cloak Evolution" states : Burmy Plant Cloak can evolve during the turn you play it. Does this override the rule that you cannot evolve on the first turn?

I run a small Pokemon club (not league) at my school. It's mostly grade 4-6 students who attend. I find it a great way to have fun with them and to have them (secretly) practicing Reading, Math and higher order thinking skills. I'm curious about how many other Pokemon players are also...

I'd just like to be clear that I am interpreting this card correctly. Mr. Mime's Poke-Body "Focus Wall" states: If Mr. mime would be knocked out by damage from an attack that does 70 damage or more (after applying weakness and resistance), Mr. Mime is not knocked out and its remaining hp...

Given the response below, does it therefore follow that Unown G has no effect on the portion of any attack that forces the opponent to discard cards rom their hand, as that is also not an effect on the Defencing Pokemon? An example of this would be Tyranitar MTs "Payback", which can force the...

Ambipom MT' "Charity Tail" attack says "Before Ambipom does damage, your opponent may discard 2 cards from his or her hand. If he or she does, this attack's base damage is 10 instead of 80." I'm wondering if the discarding of 2 cards would be an effect of the attack other than damage, and...

If I have the three cards listed in play (Shuppet evloved into Banette) and use Memory Berry to do Shuppet's "Fade Out" Attack, will all three cards be returned to my hand?

In Unlimited format, can you Level Up an Ex Pokemon that has the same name?

The text of Pokemon Contest Hall states that: If heads that player searches his or her deck for a Basic Pokemon and puts it onto his or her Bench. If I have a Munchlax on the Bench, and search for a Snorlax using Pokemont Contest Hall, can I place it onto Munchlax?

The text of Memory Berry says: The Pokemon this card is attached to can use any attack from its Basic Pokemon or Stage 1 Evolution card. If I have Snorlax "evolved" from Munchlax due to Munchlax's Poke-Power and attach a Memory Berry, is Munchlax then considered as Snorlax's Basic Pokemon...

The two rulings below seem to contradict each other. Has the second ruling listed over-ruled the first one, or am I missing something? Are block and cancel different things? If so, please explain the difference. Q. If you use Ludicolo's "Cheerful Voice" Poke-POWER and your opponent then plays...
