In light of the new Omastar and a lot more devolving entering the format, I have a question when a Lvl X is devolved: Say Infernape Lvl X is sitting on the bench and my Omastar MD comes into play a devolves me. Clearly Infernape is now Monferno, but what happens to both the regular and the...

Unfortunately not, the lock is on you the opponent not any of your Pokemon. Other than disabling the attack (Sableye CG / Gulpin CG, etc.) you don't have a chance other than knocking it out and not being locked for your next turn.

Thx CK -- as always you clear up the muddiness in my mind. Messes up my deck, but thought it was too good to be true. I take it that this is a "how it is played" in Japan type rule (i.e. a less than clear translation) rather than something that could be generalized. As I think the rules are...

It seems to work fine with the 1024 x 768 resolution on my Desktop but on my Latitude D520 it does not regardless of the resolution setting.

You are correct sir!

I was wondering for Leaf Hurricane, when one considers whether the Pokemon has less HP does this occur before or after damage counters are placed. "If the Defending Pokemon has fewer remaining HP than Wormadam Plant Cloak, the Defending Pokemon is now confused" I looked at the resolution...

Wondering if anyone else has had a problem that when lauching Redshark it truncates of the bottom and right hand side of the screen. I've tried different screen resolution, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

That would be US Nationals are the last week of June. Canadian Nationals are on the following weekend (July 5th). We will "benefit" from the deluge of tourney reports that will probably switch up our metagame.

A quick question on Mr. Mime's Airy Wall. If your opponent's Pokemon that has 2 or less Energy cards attached to it attacks Mr. Mime, prevent all damage done to Mr. Mime from that attack. If Mime Jr. is anywhere under Mr. Mime, prevent all effects of that attack, including damage to Mr...

Ebay is great for single cards, but for boxes beware. First watch for shipping costs, you get a box for $80, but the shipping costs are $30 you've not saved yourself anything. Second, Ebay does a pretty good job of policing itself, but there is always the risk of getting ripped off. I've done...

On the question of a "rogue" deck you are pretty much correct. It is a deck which is not something that is being played in your metagame, which in turn is the decks that "everyone" is playing when you meet them at league, tournaments or whatever. The metagame varies from location to location...

I guess like much it comes down to judge discretion. Thanks CK I was told it was a predetermined penalty. I guess I'll suck it up and go on, its too good a game to give up on. The easiest remedy -- always remember to deal your prizes.

Again CK thanks for the reply However, taking your example I thought that one of the over riding principles in penalty assessment was the idea of "rewindability", unless the game play error was intended to lead to some advantage for the offending player. In your example, you are absolutely...

Actually there's a few substantial differences that might make Rainbow preferred. > It can stack > It puts a damage counter on the pokemon its attached to (Great for Gyarados / Ursaring) Alas its probably gone forever.

CK and others thanks for the response. IMO I'm going to let the rest of the issues particularly (the gamemanship issue) drop. I've seen enough Juniors this year with a win at all costs attitude this year (I would guess they get that from parents), to attribute that to this match. This would...

You are right P/M obviously the presence of or absense of any generic card in the deck is "public knowledge". I have updated my response to be more specific.

Wow its deja-vu all over again. What is being referred to here and CK has eluded to is that there are two very specific "meta"-rules that are being appealed to here. FYI I use the term meta-rule to help summarize the overall thinking behind many card rulings. I'll try to explain both rules...

You may attach as many energies as you wish to any Poke regardless of whether they are need to "pay" for the attack and hence use any of the additional attributes of that energy card. So as stated earlier. Attach 4 Special Dark, you get +40 to your attacks so long as the Pokemon is Dark.

OK, this one's a little personnel. My son was handed a game loss yesterday in the first round of the final in juniors (since we were playing single elimination for the first round of top cut -- he was eliminated from the tourney). This is what I understand the situation. > Both players...

@CK This was my thought as well, but only after time had expired in the round or as soon as the inevitability set in (thinking of it in context in a Best 2/3 scenario rather than single round Swiss). Thx
