Attacks » Fan Tornado | Attacks » Swim Freely
If I use Shiftry's "Fan Tornado" attack and my opponent has an Active Pokemon that used its "Swim Freely" attack on their last turn, can I still choose to have them switch their Active Pokemon with a benched Pokemon if they flipped heads for "Swim Freely"
No, the effect of Fan Tornado is targeting the Active Pokemon (not the Benched Pokemon), and therefore is prevented due to the effect of Swim Freely.

Attacks » Doom Curse
If I use Hisuian Zoroark's "Doom Curse" attack and my opponent switches or retreats and brings up a new Active Pokemon, which of their Pokemon will be Knocked Out at the end of their next turn?
Neither! The effect of Doom Curse was on the attacked Pokemon and going to the bench removes all Attack Effects. So after the switch/retreat the Doom Curse effect is gone.

Attacks » Ancient Star
Aerodactyl VSTAR retains the effect of its "Ancient Star" attack even if it goes to the Bench or becomes Active. If an effect like Path to the Peak stadium shuts off Abilities then Ancient Star is turned off, but if that effect goes away, the Ancient Star Ability returns. It will also count toward the number of Pokemon with an Ability in play.

Abilities » Lethargy Spore | Attacks » Nadir Powder
If I use Parasect's "Lethargy Spore" Ability after a Pokemon has been attacked by Dustox's "Nadir Powder", how many counters are placed on the poisoned Pokemon during Pokemon checkup?
Lethargy Spore resets any specific number of damage counters for Poison to 1, therefore overriding Nadir Powder's effect of 8 damage counters for Poison.

Trainers » Raihan | Attacks » Star Chronos | Attacks » Yoga Loop
If my opponent KO'd one of my Pokemon and then on my next turn I use Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR's "Star Chronos" attack, or if I KO one of my opponent's Pokemon with Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack, can I play Raihan on the second of my two turns from either of those attacks?
Yes, you can. Your Pokemon was KO'd "during your opponent's last turn" regardless of how many turns you take since then.

Attacks » Coordinated Bolt | Abilities » Phantom Transformation
On my last turn I attacked with Zebstrika's "Coordinated Bolt" attack. If Zebstrika gets KO'd or otherwise leaves play and on my next turn I use Zoroark's "Phantom Transformation" Ability to bring the Zebstrika back onto the Bench, can I use that Zebstrika's "Coordinated Bolt" attack with additional damage.
Yes, you can. Although Zebstrika left play and came back it is considered a different Pokemon on the previous turn.

Energy » Fusion Strike Energy | Attacks » Melodious Echo | Trainers » Temple of Sinnoh
If Temple of Sinnoh is in play, does Meloetta's "Melodious Echo" attack still do 70 damage for each Fusion Strike Energy attached?
Yes. Temple of Sinnoh removes all effects and provides 1 Colorless energy, but it does not change the card name to be something other than "Fusion Strike Energy". So Melodious Echo still does 70 damage for each attached Fusion Strike Energy you have in play.

Attacks » Lunar Pain
If Lunala uses its "Lunar Pain" attack on a Pokemon that already has two damage counters on it, does it place four more damage counters on that Pokemon for a total of six?
No, that's not now it works. Lunar Pain counts how many damage counters are already on the Pokemon and places the same number of additional damage counters on it. So in your example a Pokemon with two damage counters would now have a total of four on it, not six.

Attacks » Entangled Dive
Does my opponent get to take a prize if I use Golduck's "Entangled Dive" attack to discard each player's Active Pokemon?
No neither player takes any prizes; Entangled Dive doesn't count as a KO.

Abilities » Gnawing Aura | Attacks » Jungle Rising
If my opponent has a Galarian Cursola V's "Gnawing Aura" Ability in play, if I use Zarude V's "Jungle Rising" attack and attach any energy cards to one of my Benched Pokemon, do I place the damage counters for "Gnawing Aura" first and then heal, or vice versa?
The player using Jungle Rising gets to choose which order to place damage first and then heal, or heal first and then place the damage counters for "Gnawing Aura".
