Abilities » Lesson in Zeal | Attacks » Max Miracle
If Mew VMAX uses its "Max Miracle" attack against the opponent's Fusion Strike Pokemon while the opponent has an Oricorio with the "Lesson in Zeal" Ability in play, does "Max Miracle's" damage get reduced or not?
The damage reduction of Lesson in Zeal is considered an "effect on the Pokemon". Max Miracle ignores ANY effect on the opponent's Active Pokemon, so therefore Max Miracle would be able to overcome the effect of Lesson In Zeal.

Abilities » Mysterious Nest | Attacks » Ticking Terror
My Arceus V is active and I have Dunsparce with "Mysterious Nest" Ability on my bench. If my opponent uses Spritomb's "Ticking Terror" attack does Arceus V now have {D} weakness, or does "Mysterious Nest" keep it with no weakness?
The Ticking Terror attack would switch Arceus V's weakness to {D}, but then Dunsparce's Mysterious Nest would change Arceus V back to no weakness. However, since Ticking Terror says "Until the end of your next turn..." Arceus V would become weak to {D} if Dunsparce were to leave play or have its Mysterious Nest ability shut off.

Attacks » Max Lance
Can I use Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX's "Max Lance" attack to discard 2 Double Colorless Energy cards?
Yes, you can select 1 Energy of each Double Colorless Energy to discard both of them. And it would do 240 more damage because you discarded 2 cards.

Attacks » Max Lance
If I use Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX's "Max Lance" attack to discard a Double Colorless Energy, does it do 120 or 240 more damage?
The additional damage is done per each card discarded, so if you discard only one card it only does 120 more damage.

Attacks » Ticking Terror
If I use Spiritomb's "Ticking Terror" attack against the Defending Pokemon and their owner moves it to the Bench during their next turn, does its Weakness return to normal?
Yes, since it is an attack effect, moving that Pokemon to the Bench removes it.

Attacks » Powdery Uppercut | Attacks » Spore Ball
If Breloom gets sent to the Bench after using its "Spore Ball" attack, can it still use its "Powdery Uppercut" attack on the next turn?
Yes, because it is a game state check and not an attack effect.

Attacks » Moonlit Miracle
Can I use Clefable's "Moonlit Miracle" attack if the only Pokemon I have in play cannot evolve?
You can use the attack no matter what, but after flipping coins if you have no Pokemon that can evolve the attack stops there. You wouldn't get to search your deck since you know there won't be any effect.

For Clefable's "Moonlit Miracle" attack, if I flip two or more Heads can I search for a Stage 1 card that evolves from one of my Pokemon and then search for the Stage 2 card and evolve it again?
No, you must choose your Pokemon first, and then search your deck to evolve those Pokemon
