For the Aquapolis Bellossom's "Flower Supplement" power, is it cumulative, or am I somehow limited to the maximum number of energies that can be attached? A. There is no limit, except for the fact that Bellossom is a stage 2 and it requires a coin flip as well. (Jan 16, 2003 WotC Chat, Q566) == MIRACLE SHIFT (Togetic - Aquapolis Expansion) Q. For the Aquapolis Togetic's "Miracle Shift" power, is it mandatory or optional? A. Optional... you can choose to activate it or not. (Jan 16, 2003 WotC Chat, Q563 & Q565) Q. For the Aquapolis Togetic's "Miracle Shift" power, does it count as your normal "once per turn energy attachment" or not? A. It does not. (Jan 16, 2003 WotC Chat, Q576) == PURE BODY (Entei - Aquapolis Expansion) Q. If you attach a Rainbow Energy to Aquapolis Entei, do you still have to discard an energy? A. No. Remember that Rainbow energy does NOT provide any energy UNTIL it is already attached. So Rainbow COULD be attached to these cards. (Jan 16, 2003 WotC Chat, Q532 & Q545) == SPIKES (Forretress - Neo: Discovery Expansion) Q. If I have an Unown-M on my bench, will it prevent damage from an opponent's Forretress's "Spikes" Pokemon Power? A. Yes. (Jan 16, 2003 WotC Chat, Q533) Q. Fortress's Spikes Pokemon Power: This power would not apply to the situation where your opponent had their active Pokemon knocked out and they had to replace it before they draw a card to start their turn, because they replaced it between turns not during their turn. Correct? A. Yes. [Ed.Note: This is because their turn has not started until they draw their card.] (Jan 16, 2003 WotC Chat, Q571) == SUCTION CUPS (Octillery - Aquapolis Expansion) Q. For Aquapolis Octillery, the only instance when its PokeBody would work is when the opponent "manually" (no Switch/DoubleGust/etc) retreats their active Pokemon, correct? A. Yes, though retreating with Balloon Berry would still trigger its power.

If I have an Unown-M on my bench, will it prevent damage from an opponent's Forretress's "Spikes" Pokemon Power? A. Yes.

TMP Question - I attack with my Donfan using Rapid Spin, can I choose which of my opponents must switch their Pokemon? Also, can I pick my teammate's Pokemon to switch out with this since each item is a separate sentence? A. You can choose the opponent and you can choose between you and your teammate.
