    Help Using a Pokemon ability that "attacks" is NOT considered an attack

    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...

    Expanded Rare Candy vs Stage 1 Pokemon

    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...

    Ruling Galarian Weezing [RCL, SHF] Severe Poison - When Does Effect Stop?

    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.

    Help Any stadiums that restrict/punish moving energy around?

    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.

    Help When are previous printings of a card legal in Expanded?

    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...

    Help Galarian Slowking VMAX + Teammates

    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...

    Help Any cards that stop a Pokemon attack that circumvents effects/abilities?

    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...

    Help Pokemon V-Unions NOT considered Evolution Pokemon, Correct?

    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?

    Help Help countering Metagross [VIV]

    I have a deck that relies on slowing/preventing attacks from my opponent's Pokemon by moving one of their Pokemon with no energy to the active spot and trying to keep them there and slow their attack with energy denial and Confusion. If my opponent plays Metagross #118 [VIV], all his Pokemon...

    Discussion What is the best pack to buy on PTCGO in terms of value?

    Which series/expansions yield the best value (cards) on PTCGO? Since they all have the same 200-coin cost, I guess the question is which is the best series/expansion... Evolving Skies seems like it has the best cards, then maybe Chilling Reign, just wondering what others thought? Also, does...

    Help Galar Mine + 0 Retreat Cost Pokemon

    If the Galar Mine stadium is in play, the retreat cost for Pokemon with a 0 retreat cost (e.g. Mew V, Jolteon V, etc.) would increase to 2, correct? I know this stadium has no effect on Pokemon with no retreat cost (e.g. with a Float Stone attached), but I assume Pokemon with no printed retreat...

    Help Are there any cards that "protect" stadiums?

    I am looking to "protect" a Prism Star stadium. As it is a Prism Star card, it's not recoverable with Lusamine, Dowsing Machine, etc. Are there any cards that "protect" stadiums either from the likes of Field Blower, Faba, etc. and/or from a new stadium that is played?

    Help Sharing account with child

    I don't expect there's any way for my son and I to login to the same TCGO account and play each other in Versus mode? I expect this won't work for two reasons: first, two people cannot simultaneously login to the same account and second, you can not choose a specific opponent in Versus mode. It...

    Help Player ratings (ELO), only tracked internally?

    I assume because the game matches you against evenly matched players (and tracks upset wins) that players have some kind of ELO rating? I assume it's intentionally kept secret (as opposed to displayed) so that the game does not become overly competitive? Lastly, the rating is player related...

    PTCGO Energy being attached to random benched Pokemon instead of my choice

    Today I noticed (for the first time) that when I used something like Max Elixir, Aqua Patch, among other examples, to attach energy to a benched Pokemon, I was not asked to select the Pokemon to attach the energy to, it was just assigned randomly to one of benched Pokemon. Has anyone seen this...

    Cards like Reset Stamp and Red Card are banned in TCG Expanded, but not in TCGO when playing Versus Mode with an Expanded deck. Does this mean that all cards are legal in TCGO?

    Help Ditto Prism Star + Rare Candy

    You can't use Rare Candy to evolve Ditto Prism Star into a Stage 2 Pokemon (e.g. Charizard), because Ditto Prism Star is not part of Charizard's Evolution Chain, correct?
