POKEMON ABILITIES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== ASSAULTING HUNT (Weavile - SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_134>
Q. If I bring up Weavile with the "Assaulting Hunt" Ability after my opponent KO's my Active Pokemon, can I switch in 1 of their Benched Basic Pokemon to the Active Spot?
A. No, because Assaulting Hunt only works "during your turn". (Paldea Evolved FAQ; Jun 8, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If I use Bramblin's "Ride the Wind" attack and flip heads, can I bring up Weavile and use its "Assaulting Hunt" Ability?
A. Yes, that'll work because the Assaulting Hunt Ability is still happening during your turn. (Paldea Evolved FAQ; Jun 8, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== DRIFTING DODGE (Skiploom - SV: Paldea Evolved; Jumpluff - SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_2>, <SV2_3>
Q. Does Tinkatuff's "Pulverizing Press" attack do damage if Skiploom's or Jumpluff's "Drifting Dodge" Ability flips heads?
A. Yes, it does. Technically speaking you still flip the coin but regardless of the flip's outcome the damage is not prevented. (Paldea Evolved FAQ; Jun 8, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== EXPLODING ENERGY (Forretress ex - SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_5>
Q. If I use Forretress ex's "Exploding Energy" Ability, can I attach any of the Energy cards that I searched for to Forretress ex before it is knocked out?
A. Yes. They would then be discarded with the Forretress ex. (Paldea Evolved FAQ; Jun 8, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== FREEZING DISASTER (Abomasnow - SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_11>
Q. Can I use Dedenne ex's "Tail Swap" attack to move damage counters around if Abomasnow's "Freezing Disaster" Ability is in play?
A. Yes you can, since "moving" damage counters is not the same as "healing" damage. (Paldea Evolved FAQ; Jun 8, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== SKYSCRAPER (Duraludon VMAX - SW: Evolving Skies) <SWSH7_123>
Q. If my opponent has Duraludon VMAX with the "Skyscraper" Ability in play, when I use Inteleon VMAX's "G-Max Spiral" attack and choose to return the only Special Energy card attached to Inteleon VMAX to my hand, does "Skyscraper" prevent the damage or not?
A. The choice to remove the Special Energy card is made first, but then damage is done and finally effects of the attack. So removing the Special Energy card is an effect that doesn't happen until damage has been done and therefore blocked by Skyscraper. (Jun 1, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== SQUAWK AND SEIZE (Squawkabilly ex - SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_169>
Q. Can I use Squawkabilly ex's "Squawk and Seize" Ability if I have no cards in my hand to discard?

A. Sure, ka-boom!!! You can put up to 12 damage counters on it even if it doesn't have that much HP remaining. Annihilape ex will do 20x each damage counter that was placed, and at the end of the attack Annihilape ex will be knocked out. (Paldea Evolved FAQ; Jun 8, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)
== APPLY GEL (Quaxly - SV: Paldea Evolved) <SV2_50>
Q. If my opponent used Quaxly's "Apply Gel" attack against Tinkatuff on their turn, could I use Tinkatuff's "Pulverizing Press" attack and ignore the requirement to flip?
A. No, as long as the Apply Gel effect is on Tinkatuff you would have to flip heads in order to even start your attack. (Paldea Evolved FAQ; Jun 8, 2023 TPCi Rules Team)

Q. Can you use Manaphy's "Pulling Currents" attack when your opponent has a full bench?
