I'v been looking through many of my cards and have these questions:
1) What counts as “in play”?
2) Can an Lv X use an attack only from the previous level (the card immediately under it) or can it use any attack from any card under it?
3) If a pokemon is confused, do I still have to flip if I wanted to use its Poke-Body/ Poke-Power?
4) 66/127 Zangoose’s attack: Invite and Strike
Switch the Defending Pokémon with 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to the new Defending Pokémon.
If the Opponent has no benched pokemon,does this attack do 20 to the defending pokemon even without switching?
5) 15/146 Regigigas: Poke-Body: Slow Start: Regigigas can't attack until your opponent has 3 or less Prize cards left.
Why would anyone want to use this poke-body??? What’s the purpose of this particular poke-body???
6) 18/146 Armaldo’s Crush Claw
During your next turn, if an attack does damage to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does 40 more damage.
If the defending Pokémon retreats the next turn, dose the extra 40 damage apply to the new defending Pokémon?
7) 27/146 Ditto’s Ditto DNA: As long as Ditto is your Active Pokémon, its maximum HP is the same as your opponent's Active Pokémon. Ditto can use the attacks of that Pokémon as its own. (You still need the necessary Energy to use each attack.) If that Pokémon is no longer your opponent's Active Pokémon, choose 1 of your opponent's Active Pokémon for Ditto to copy.
a. Can Ditto copy Poke-power/body?
b. If an attack requires energy: does it need to the same “type” of energy, or just the same number of energy to perform that attack?
8) Do TMs (Technical Machines) stay in play as long as they are attached to a pokemon or they are discarded after using the TM?
9) How many damage counters does a Confused Pokémon put on itself if it declares an attack and gets tails?
10) Can I use a rare candy to evolve a Pokemon that just has been placed on the bench?
11) Unleashed #38/95 Pupitar: Poke-body: Boost Gas: If Pupitar has any Energy attached to it, the Retreat Cost for Pupitar is 0.
If Pupitar #38 was on the bench and Pupitar #39 (has no poke-body) was active, can I use #38’s Boost Gas to retreat #39?
12) Expedition #33/165 Alakazam Poké-POWER Psymimic: Once during your turn, instead of Alakazam's normal attack, you may choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon's attacks. Alakazam copies that attack including its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack, such as discarding Energy cards. (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Alakazam's type is still psychic.) This power can't be used if Alakazam is affected by a Special Condition.
• Do I have to have the same type of energy as well to copy an attack?
13) POP series 7 #5/17 Mothim Silver Wind
During your next turn, if an attack does damage to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does 40 more damage.
Does this effect apply even if the defending Pokémon retreats? (Apply the extra 40 to the new defending pokemon?)
14) 127/127 Shaymin Lv.X Revenge Seed: If any of your grassPokémon were Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack during his or her last turn, each of Shaymin's attacks does 60 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
This power did not specify if the added 60 was just during the this turn or is it a fixed effect meaning that as long as Shymin used that power it will always have the added 60, which is it?
15) Promo #32. Smeargle: Paint
Flip a coin. If heads, choose a type (other than Colorless) and put a Coloring counter on the Defending Pokémon. That Pokémon is now the type you chose. If it already had a Coloring counter, remove the old one. If tails, this attack does nothing.
How do you get rid of the coloring counter?
Thanks for your answers in advance !
