Does Mt. Moon shut off the "Baby Evolution" Pokemon Power? A. Yes, it does. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == POWDER PROTECTION (Ledian - EX:Team Rocket Returns) Q. If I use Rocket's Zapdos EX's "Raging Thunder" attack which says to do 30 damage to one of your own Pokemon, can I direct that damage onto Ledian and use its "Powder Protection" to reduce that damage? A. Powder Protection does not specify that the Pokemon must be the opponent's, so yes it can be used to block self-damage like this. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- POKEMON ATTACKS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == ENERGY LINK (Dark Steelix - EX:Team Rocket Returns) Q. Dark Steelix's "Energy Link" attack allows you to get an energy card out of your discard pile and attach it to Dark Steelix; if you pull an "R Energy" from the discard pile do you get to add +10 to the damage right away? A. No, that part is figured after the damage is calculated. You could fetch it, but then it's discarded immediately at the end of the turn. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == QUICK SEARCH (Ledian - EX:Team Rocket Returns) Q. Yanma's "Quick Search" for energy, would it be for any amount of 4 types? A. No, you can only get one card for each of the 4 types you choose. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == TOSS AND TURN (Snorlax - EX:Fire Red / Leaf Green) Q. Can a pokemon with any move that has the ability to copy another move (i.e. Metronome, Rainbow Moves, etc.) copy Snorlax's "Toss and Turn" while asleep? A. Togetic or Clefable has to start using its attack BEFORE it chooses a Pokemon's attack to copy. Since it can't get that far if it is asleep, it doesn't get to the point of copying that sleep text on Snorlax. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TRAINER CARDS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == BALLOON BERRY (Neo:Revelation; EX:Dragon) [See Also: Errata] Q. Can I attach a Balloon Berry to a Fossil even though it says is cannot retreat? A. Yes you can, but you cannot actually make use of the Berry until the Fossil evolves into a Pokemon that can retreat. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == MT. MOON (EX:Fire Red / Leaf Green) Q. Does Mt. Moon shut off the "Baby Evolution" Pokemon Power? A. Yes, it does. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == POW! HAND EXTENSION (EX:Team Rocket Returns) Q. Can you use "Pow! Hand Extension" to move a DRE to one of your opponent's Basic Pokemon, causing it to be discarded? A. No, just like one cannot use "Energy Trans" or "Dark Trace" to move it to their own Basic Pokemon, the same applies so that an opponent cannot move it to a Basic Pokemon either. It could not be moved, therefore it would not be discarded. (Dec 9, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == SURPRISE! TIME MACHINE (EX:Team Rocket Returns) Q. If you play Surprise! Time Machine on a Wobbuffet that was evovled from a Wynaut via "Baby Evolution", what happens after you shuffle the Wobbuffet back into your deck? A. Since there is not a normal evolution path from Wynaut to Wobbuffet (without using "Baby Evolution"), you cannot take a Wobbuffet from your deck to evolve it again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ENERGY CARDS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == DOUBLE RAINBOW ENERGY (EX:Team Magma/Team Aqua) Q. Can you use "Pow! Hand Extension" to move a DRE to one of your opponent's Basic Pokemon, causing it to be discarded? A. No, just like one cannot use "Energy Trans" or "Dark Trace" to move it to their own Basic Pokemon, the same applies so that an opponent cannot move it to a Basic Pokemon either. It could not be moved, therefore it would not be discarded.
