== SLIME MOLD COLONY (Toedscruel - SV: Paradox Rift) <SV4_17>
Q. How does PokeStop work if I have Toedscruel with the "Slime Mold Colony" Ability active?
A. Slime Mold Colony only affects your opponent's discard pile and their Abilities or Trainer cards (it doesn't do anything to its owner), so the behavior of the PokeStop stadium depends on which player owns it. For example, if I have Toedscruel and my opponent uses their own PokeStop, they would be able to discard 3 cards from the top of their deck but they wouldn't be able to put any of those discarded Item cards into their hand. However, if I have Toedscruel and my opponent uses *my* PokeStop, it works normally because Slime Mold Colony does not affect *my* PokeStop. (Dec 14, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. How does Skater's Park work if I have Toedscruel with the "Slime Mold Colony" Ability active?
A. Slime Mold Colony only affects your opponent's discard pile. However, while Skater's Park is in play, the basic Energy that would be discarded when your opponent retreats never makes it to the discard pile, so those cards would so into their hand. (Dec 14, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== SQUAWK AND SEIZE (Squawkabilly ex - SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_169>
Q. If it is your first turn going second and you attack with Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack, are you allowed to use Squawkabilly ex's "Squawk and Seize" Ability during that additional turn?
A. No, you cannot. The second turn is a new turn and no longer your first turn. (Dec 14, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If we are in a Tiebreaker or Sudden Death game, can I use Squawkabilly ex's "Squawk and Seize" Ability on my first turn?
A. Even though the Tiebreaker or Sudden Death is used to resolve a game where "Squawk and Seize" may have already been used, the Tiebreaker/Sudden Death is considered a separate game on its own so "Squawk and Seize" may be used on each player's first turn. (Dec 14, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== GENOME HACKING (Mew ex - SV: Pokemon 151) <SV35_151>
Q. Can Mew ex's "Genome Hacking" attack copy an opponent's VSTAR attack that has already been used?
A. Yes, Genome Hacking can copy an opponent's VSTAR attack, even if the opponent has already used up their VSTAR attack for the game. However, if you have already used your own VSTAR Attack you cannot choose to use a VSTAR Power attack with Genome Hacking; you must select a valid attack to use. (Dec 14, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== YOGA LOOP (Medicham V - SW: Evolving Skies) <SWSH7_83>
Q. If it is your first turn going second and you attack with Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack, are you allowed to use Squawkabilly ex's "Squawk and Seize" Ability during that additional turn?
A. No, you cannot. The second turn is a new turn and no longer your first turn. (Dec 14, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

Q. How does Skater's Park work if I have Toedscruel with the "Slime Mold Colony" Ability active?
