1 - Magcargo just says you can discard R Energy to do more damage, meaning you can discard the 3 attached, or any other number you want.

2 - Murkrow's Mean Look prevents RETREATING, Switch/Dbl Gust are not retreating, b/c retreating is paying the retreat cost to send a Poke to the bench.

3 - Yeah, if Entei is your only Poke, yo ucan just attach all the Energy to him. If you don't want to, they just get discarded, but there isn't a reason why you can't use the power.

4 - Yeah, Crosscounter is the effect against the Defending Poke at the time they attack you, so you'd flip for Crosscounter before switching Pokemon.

Maybe it's just my reading, but it seems that his 2rd Q was referring to the very start of the game, where it's the set-up period. In which coming into play pokemon powers don't work..I think. But that's how I'd interperet it.

"some source" is wrong.
It says to discard any Fire you want. It doesn't say anything about them having to be "in addition to those used to pay the cost of the attack".

Actually you can only use entei's power if you play it from your hand. If it's in play, it technically didn't "come into play," so you can't use it's power.

Thank you WOTC for a wonderful pokemon journey.

From the Compendium:
Q. Would Wobbuffet's Counter if successful ignore an opposing Focus Band??
A. No it doesn't. To clarify: Focus Band will not be triggered by Crosscounter or Counter as these are not considered actual attacks. (May 16, 2002 WotC Chat, Q128 & Q149 & after-Q150)

So there you are.

You can reduce the damage you do to your opponent.
The card would be incredibly broken if it worked the other way around!

Why would you want to do that?
Well, it would help you get around Mr Mime's Pokemon Power, or it could avoid activating your opponent's Gold Berry, or maybe your opponent has a Rage attack and you want to keep how powerful that attack becomes in check.
