Porygon2: DCE = two energies of any type or just one? A. Can't choose DCE. It is not a basic energy card. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q58) == LEGENDARY BODY (Entei, Raikou, & Suicune - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. Does the Legendary Body Pokemon Power prevent effects of Trainer cards like Plus Power that add to Attack done by Raikou/Entei/Suicune? A. Yes it does prevent them. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q10) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- POKEMON ATTACKS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == ATTRACT CURRENT (Ampharos - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. For Ampharos' "Attract Current" attack, if I get 3 heads can I attach all three Lightning energies to the same pokemon if I wish? A. Yes you could. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q21) Q. If I use Neo:Revelation Ampharos' Attract Current, do I have to take an L energy for each heads? or can I take less? A. You have the choice, the card says for each heads you MAY....... (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q37) == GENETIC MEMORY (Kingdra - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. When using Kingdra's Genetic Memory attack, can you choose an Attack from any Horsea or Seadra, or do you only get to use Attacks from the ones actually used to evolve the Kingdra? A. Only the ones that Kingdra actually evolved into. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q61) Q. If you Shapeshift into Kingdra, can you use Hypnotic Gaze or whatever from Brock's Vulpix with Genetic Memory? A. No you cannot. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q67) == HIGH SPEED CHARGE (Piloswine - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. If I use Piloswine's "High Speed Charge" attack, does benching it remove the effect? So if I could then somehow get it active again, I would be able to use High Speed Charge again, right? A. Yes you could. Just like we answered yes to every other Pokemon that has an attack that says "You can't use this attack next turn." (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q46) == PERISH SONG (Misdreavus - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. Regarding the Perish Song Attack - Is there any way to clear the effect between the Night Eyes Attack and the Perish Song Attack next turn. Benching doesn’t seem to as long as the conditions are met. A. Evolving, Devolving, or leaving play. But not benching. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q33) Q. If a Pokemon that was attacked by Night Eyes last turn goes to the bench, could I Gust it up, put it to sleep (with the Sleep! trainer or TR Drowzee), and then KO it with Perish Song? A. Yes it would. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q9) Q. How would it work if a Shapeshifted Brock's Ninetales is attacked by Misdreavus' "Night Eyes", and then by "Perish Song" on the following turn? A. Brock's Ninetales would be Knocked out. Just as if Brock's Ninetales was poisoned and you attached an evolution card (which would NOT remove the poison because it does NOT count as evolving), the Night Eyes is on the one Pokemon, regardless of whether it has an attached evolution card on it or not. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q12 & Q31 & Q32) == PSYCHIC DAMAGE (Celebi - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. Celebi's Psychic Damage attack says 'Put 1 damage counter on the defending Pokemon'. Does that mean that : 1 Metal Energy attached to the defending will not reduce damage - 2 Resistance is not active ? A. Correct on both accounts! [ED. NOTE: You can also infer by this that Weakness is not applied either.] (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q4) == PSYKISS (Smoochum - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. Last time, you guys said that a Buzzap'd Electrode is counted as a "Special Energy Card" for Smoochum's "Psykiss" attack. Are all any non-basic energy cards considered to be "Special Energy Cards" or only those with that phrase written on the card? A. Yes, any card that provides energy that is NOT a basic energy card is considered to be a Special Energy Card and is affected by Smoochum's attack. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q16 & Q34) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNOWN CARDS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TRAINER CARDS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == KOGA'S NINJA TRICK (Gym: Challenge Expansion) Q. Koga's Koffing has a Ninja Trick attached and uses Smokescreen. When the opponent attacks, which has to be done first, the flip to see if the attack can be made or the activation of the Ninja trick? A. First the Smokescreen. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q18) == NARROW GYM (Gym: Heroes Expansion) Q. Say I have Rocket's Hideout and a full bench including a Dark Golbat with 50 damage on it. The opponent then plays Narrow Gym. Does the Dark Golbat get KO'd first, or can I scoop him into my hand first due to the Narrow Gym effect? A. You could scoop the Golbat. It is the difference between being played which is first and in play which would be second. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q27) == POKEMON BREEDER FIELDS (Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. May I flip twice for the same Pokemon with Breeder Fields? A. No you may not. It asks you to choose 1 or 2 different Pokemon. Each flip is tied to the Pokemon you choose. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q3) Q. Procedurally speaking, when using Pokemon Breeder Fields, if both flips are heads would I go "Flip, Search, Shuffle, Flip, Search, Shuffle", or would I go "Flip, Flip, Search (for 2), Shuffle"? Or does it really matter? A. It doesn't matter but procedurally it would be Flip, Flip, Search, shuffle. (Nov 1, 2001 WotC Chat, Q17) == ROCKET'S HIDEOUT (Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. Say I have Rocket's Hideout and a full bench including a Dark Golbat with 50 damage on it. The opponent then plays Narrow Gym. Does the Dark Golbat get KO'd first, or can I scoop him into my hand first due to the Narrow Gym effect? A. You could scoop the Golbat. It is the difference between being played which is first and in play which would be second.
