    Ruling moonlight fang and shadow room

    RE: moonligiht fang and shadow room Just to clarify - you are placing damage counters, and you are still attacking with Shadow Room. Specifically, you're not attempting to damage your opponent. Whether or not Gengar uses Shadow Room or Poltergeist, it would not at all affect an Umbreon who was...

    Ruling Chaos Gym question

    I think DNA is saying what would happen if the opponent sprayed his Psychic Lock (and we'll assume, too, that all other requisites are met to play Power Spray). I'm inclined to agree with capt.penguin: that flipping tails would result in discard without having any other effect.

    Ruling Devolutor & Rescue Energy

    Please include links and/or scans of the referenced cards in future posts. In short: no, Rescue Energy will not activate. The defending Pokemon is not being knocked out by damage from an attack (as the Devoluter attack deals no damage), and so Rescue Energy is useless in this scenario.

    Abomasnow? Worth it?

    Helix Fossil is still searchable ---> Fossil Excavator from Majestic Dawn, for as long as it's still in the rotation. But yes, trainer lock is still a problem for most any deck playing fossils.

    Ruling Politoed from Legends Awakened

    Please post card links/scans in the future when posting questions here. I understand what you're getting at, and Politoed LA's "Enthusiasm" Poké-BODY does not work that way. Once Poliwag is evolved into Poliwhirl, it is considered Poliwhirl (no longer Poliwag). You cannot evolve a single...

    Ruling Dugtrio TP

    Yes - provided you have 3 energy attached that are not providing any {F} energy, this attack would do 50 damage (before factoring in weakness, resistance, etc.).

    Running Rapidash AR as an SP counter

    Garchomp C LV. X Luxray GL LV. X Dialga G LV. X Pretty much every SP deck out there has one of those three Pokémon in it, and *all* of them counter Rapidash. Garchomp - bench-snipe around Rapidash. Luxray - Bright Look Rapidash away and bring up a benched player for the KO. Dialga - Rapidash's...

    Alles Wird Gut.(Bushido Article)

    Actually, the article specifically says that Shuppet is an SP, and that you can use e-gain and Poketurn on it. I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume this is an editing error (i.e. that orignally another SP Pokemon was to be talked about at this point in this article, and then...

    Ruling Cyrus's Conspiracy

    Even if you have/had supporters and TGI cards in your deck, you could choose to fail the search. In fact, you could choose to play Cyrus' Conspirary, search your deck and not pull anything (even if you have one of all three card types in your deck). Your deck contents are not known or...

    Ruling dusknoir SF and lostgar.

    Actually, the answer is no. Night Spin only protects Dusknoir from attacks during your opponent's next turn. Gengar's Hurl into Darkness attack does not actually target Dusknoir, and its effect is therefore not prevented by Night Spin.

    Ruling Gengar Prime's body in hit and run?

    Assuming you're talking about a hit-and-run attack that would switch your active with Gengar Prime - yes, as per the previous response to this same question. Also, please provide card links/scans in future posts on this board.

    Ruling CurseGar Questions from a novice

    Many of the cards you listed - including Claydol GE, Mr Mime MT, and Moonlight Stadium - are illegal because the sets/expansions that they are from have been removed from the format. In an unlimited format you can use any of these cards, but decks used in competition in official sanctioned...

    Ruling A few questions...

    Thanks for the links :). Due to the wording of Infernape 4 LV. X, your opponent chooses which Pokemon to switch. No - you can only activate such Powers when you play to the bench from your hand. If the Pokemon is already face down on the bench at the start of the game, then you skip the 'play...

    Ruling Blaziken FB

    Just to clarify on point 2 - the flip for burn happens between every turn. Your opponent would not flip a coin immediately after being burned; rather, that step would take place after you had ended your turn, and before your opponent began his/hers. Likewise, after your opponent's turn ends, and...

    Ruling Twins - Sableye

    I'm not aware of any official rulings on this. However, I would speculate that since the amount of prize cards left for either player is public knowledge, attempting to play Twins when you're not behind on prizes would constitute an impossible/illegal play. Same goes for trying to Impersonate...
