If ADP [CEC] uses its GX Altered Creations attack and the defending Pokemon is Hoopa [SLG] or Snorlax [LOR] and that defending Pokemon is knocked out the following turn (say by Zacian V), is 1 prize card taken or 2?

Thank you. Searching for similar text as Stealthy Hood and Fusion Strike Energy, I see that Corviknight VMAX is immune to opponent's abilities as well as Enamorus V and Galarian Mr. Rime (but only if they have energy attached).

Using a Pokemon ability that effectively "attacks" an opponent's Pokemon such as Intellion's Quick Shooting or Intellion VMAX's Double Gunner is not considered an attack, correct? So a Pokemon such as Arceus Prism Star, despite its First Law ability (Prevent all effects of your opponent’s...

Generally speaking, in the case of a plain vanilla Stage 1 Pokemon (weak attack, no special abilities) whose only use is the progression towards a Stage 2 Pokemon, would it generally better to use Rare Candy in the deck vs the Stage 1 Pokemon? In addition to potentially getting your Stage 2 out...

Interesting. And what if Galarian Weezing is knocked out, would the effect (4 damage counters instead of 1) continue even then?

If Galarian Weezing attacks once, but does not attack again, are 4 damage counters still placed on your active Pokemon on subsequent turns? Seems like that effect is tied to the attack so I would think not, but just checking.

Are there any stadiums (or other cards) that prevent/punish the unlimited and free movement of energy among an opponent's Pokemon, such as that granted by Dusknoir's [BRS] Special Transfer ability? Klefki [SVI] and Silent Lab [PRC] only work against Basic Pokemon.

Ninetales #21 from Primal Clash, just checked, thanks!

I believe (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that it's more nuanced than that. SOME cards from Base Set ARE legal in Expanded (e.g. Switch, Double Colorless Energy, etc.) at least according to what I've read: https://pokegym.net/current-expanded-legal-card-list/ but it's a very small subset...

For older cards (e.g. from Base set) to be legal in Expanded, there must exist a newer printing from a set that IS legal in Expanded AND the card text and attributes in the older printing must be the same as the newer printing. Is that correct? So while Computer Search from Boundaries Crossed...

Ahh, good to know, thank you.

I was also wondering about the interaction of multiple Stealthy Hoods. The following scenario almost came up in a game (it got to step 3 but I lost before I could get my own Stealthy Hood out): 1. My opponent has a benched Vileplume [AOR] with the ability Irritating Pollen (Each player can't...

OK, I found the answer to my question in the official Rules Compendium: Q: Can I use "Teammates" if my Pokemon was KO'd due to Poison damage? A: No, you cannot. You can only use Teammates if your Pokemon was KO'd *during* your opponent's last turn, but Poison damage takes place *in between* turns.

Just played a game on PTCGO and wanted to make sure a mechanic was working as intended. My active Pokemon was knocked out by Galarian Slowking VMAX (by poison damage) however I was not able to play Teammates during my turn. Is it because my Pokemon wasn't technically knocked out during my...

Excellent advice. I do have 1 x Enchanted Hammer and 2 x Faba's in my deck (along with 4 VS Seeker's) and agree this is the best strategy vs Mew VMAX. Just to make sure I'm understanding you, when you say: you mean that BUS Vileplume would NOT work against Mew VMAX because she's not a Basic...

Are there any stadiums, tools, or Pokemon abilities that negate attacks that bypass effects/abilities such as Mew VMAX's Max Miracle (This attack’s damage isn’t affected by any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokémon)? Excluding Pokemon attacks of course, I realize there are attacks such as...

Excellent suggestions, thank you very much!!

Are there any other cards (besides Stealthy Hood) that protect against abilities such as Giratina's [LOT] Distortion Door (e.g. Pokemon with abilities that prevent damage counters being placed on them or Stadiums that accomplish a similar effect)? My deck fares poorly against Tsareena V and the...

Would Stealthy Hood protect a benched Pokemon from Giratina's [LOT] Distortion Door ability (Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is in your discard pile, you may put it onto your Bench. If you do, put 1 damage counter on 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon) when they...

A V-Union Pokemon is considered as being the distinct V-Union stage and damage/effects by them would NOT be prevented by Mew [EVO]'s Neutral Shield "Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Mew by Evolved Pokémon." ability, correct?
