If I have a promo Mew [with Neutral Shield] on my bench and my opponent uses Rapid Spin, can I intentionally choose Mew so I don't have to switch Pokemon? A. Yes. (May 1, 2003 WotC Chat, Q1440) == PSYMIMIC (Alakazam - Expedition Expansion) Q. Alakazam Exp Psymimic - how do I translate energy costs? Is it the amount of energies needed for the attack of your opponent's attack but do they also need to be the same type (which is hard if you have most likely only psy energy on alakazam)? A. Have to be the same type as well. Use Rainbow energies to make it easier or play with mutliple colors, like the Echo theme deck did. (May 1, 2003 WotC Chat, Q1418) == WATER CYCLONE (Kingdra - Aquapolis Expansion) Q. Can Rainbow Energy be moved from an Active Pokémon to a benched Pokémon using Aquapolis Kingdra's Water Cyclone power? A. Yes, that will work.

If I have a promo Mew [with Neutral Shield] on my bench and my opponent uses Rapid Spin, can I intentionally choose Mew so I don't have to switch Pokemon? A. Yes.

I have a question about Expedition Machamp. It says you do 10 more damage for each of your Pokemon with damage on them. In team, do you count just your Pokemon with damage or do you include those of your partner as well? A. Since it says "you have in play" you would choose whether that meant you OR your team mate.
