Regarding this post: http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=67577, I don't think Ariados' text is meant to be self-referential. Here is Ariados' text: おたがいのポケモン全員（アリアドスはのぞく）のにげるエネルギーは、それぞれ1個ぶんずつ多くなる。 The Retreat Cost for all Pokemon on both sides (excluding Ariados) becomes 1 Energy...

I think these cards are mistranslated. Here's the text for Magmortar L.X: 自分の:fire:エネルギーを2枚トラッシュし、相手のポケモン1匹に、100ダメージ。次の自分の番、自分は「フレイムブラスター」を使えない。 (This second sentence isn't relevant) And for the other 'Ashers (Blaziken ex and Steelix ex): 自分の:fire:エネルギーを2個トラッシュし、相手のポケモン1匹に、100ダメージ...

Below are the spoilers for Moon Hunting, Night Dashing, and the Electivire vs. Magmortar theme decks. For those who haven't been following this set, DP4 consists of two mini-sets: a Cresselia-themed set ("Moon Hunting") and a Leafeon/Glaceon-themed set ("Night Dashing"). PCL did something...

There is already a discussion thread for the DP3 spoiler list on the Gym, but no spoiler list. So here is the spoiler list. I haven't seen a ruling on Shellos/Burmy and whether or not their "attributes" are considered part of their names. I'm assuming that you can run 4 of each...

Diamond & Pearl 2 Spoiler! Thanks to Nanimonoka for finishing off the list! Paras L.16 – Grass – HP60 Basic Pokemon [C] Scratch: 10 damage. [G][G] Mushroom Tackle: 20 damage. Flip a coin, if heads the Defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed. Weakness: Fire (+10) Resistance: none...

The Defending Pokemon has a Fluffy Berry attached, and flips heads on Agility. Can I use Plunder to discard the tool card, or is that considered an effect on the Defender? Scenario #2, this time the Defending Pokemon has a Mysterious Shard attached. Can Mew ex use Plunder to discard the...

Blaziken from Ru/Sa says: Discard a [R] Energy card attached to Blaziken. If you do, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. Blaziken from PK says: Discard a [R] Energy card attached to Blaziken. This attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched...

Let's say I have a Low Pressure System in play and a Lightning Pokemon on my Bench--we'll pretend it's Feraligatr, since Feraligatr is a nice card to have benched. Gatr has 120 HP, raised to 130 due to LPS. Gatr also has 12 damage counters on it. During my turn I play a Giant Stump, intending...

Turtwig L.10 - Grass - HP60 Basic [.] Tackle: 10 damage. [G] Razor Leaf: 20 damage. Weakness: Fire (+10) Resistance: Water (-20) Retreat: 2 Grotle L.21 - Grass - HP 90 Stage 1 - Evolves from Turtwig [G] Synthesis: Search your deck for a Grass Energy card and attach it to 1...

Thanks, BDS, for responding in the other thread. I should explain, I'm mainly concerned about the effect that this ruling has on Japanese cards. Up until now, we've been able to use cards from unreleased Japanese sets in sanctioned tournaments, provided we have a Local Language Reference...

I asked this question in the "new tournament guidelines" thread, but I don't think it was ever answered. "14.1.6. Unreleased Cards With the exception of basic Energy cards, cards acquired prior to the regular retail release date of a set may not be used in a sanctioned tournament, even if...

If I use an attack that requires me to discard energy, like Lugia's Elemental Blast, and I flip tails on Smokescreen, do I still have to discard energy? Or is discarding energy prevented as an "effect of the attack"?

Deoxys df's Delta Reduction states that on your opponent's next turn, all damage done to Deoxys is reduced by 30. However, the Japanese card says that Delta Reduction reduces all of the Defending Pokemon's attack's damage by 30. In other words, the effect is on the Defending, not on Deoxys...

So, I fly to Vegas sunday morning along with Bulbachar, Spookees, and Spookees Jr. We drive out to Sunset Station, say hi to DukeFirebird and the other judges, and 'Char and I get to filling out decklists. I write out a list for my OMG-Super-Secret-Anti-Cali-Ultra-Tech deck, but with the...

So, Team Heat invaded CO for Mtn West Regionals this weekend. Spookees, being all smart and stuff, had us fly out Friday afternoon so we could arrive at the hotel early and get lots of sleep. But Bulbachar and I stayed up all night because we're idiots. Then I drank like, 8 cups of coffee and...

So, Friday night I’m playtesting with Bulbachar and Spookees, and I really have no idea what I’m going to play at the Nevada States. Bulbachar creams my Arcy deck with his super-secret-awesome deck that I won’t reveal, and Spookees takes out Metagross with her Gengar. At the airport I’m still...

I'll add preconstructed deck info later, but here's the main set. Bulbasaur – Grass – HP50 Basic Pokemon [C] Growth: Attach a Grass Energy card from your hand to Bulbasaur. [G][C] Vine Whip: 20 damage. Weakness: Fire Resistance: none Retreat: 1 Ivysaur – Grass – HP70 Stage 1...

Power Tree says, "Once during each player's turn, if the player has no Special Energy cards in his or her discard pile, that player searches his or her discard pile for a basic Energy Card, shows it to the opponent, and puts it into his or her hand." The card doesn't say, "that player MAY...
