Trainers » Forest Seal Stone | Attacks » Punishing Scissors
If I'm using Scizor's "Punishing Scissors" attack and one of my opponent's V Pokemon has Forest Seal Stone attached, does my attack do an extra 50 damage for it?
No, the V Pokemon does not *have* the Star Alchemy Ability, it only can use it.

Trainers » Path to the Peak | Attacks » Punishing Scissors
Say my opponent has 3 Genesect V on the bench and Path to the Peak is in play. If I attack with Scizor's "Punishing Scissors" attack, do I do 10 damage or 160 damage?
When Path to the Peak is in play Genesect V has no Abilities, so Punishing Scissors would only do 10 damage in this situation.

Attacks » Genome Hacking
Do I have to meet the energy requirements for the attack I choose with Mew ex's "Genome Hacking" attack?
No, you do not have to meet the energy requirements for the attack. However, if the attack says you must do something or the attack does nothing, that part still has to be done.

Attacks » Yoga Loop
After time is called at the end of a match, what happens if I use Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack during the "plus three turns" part?
If you use Yoga Loop when time is called during your turn, you would then get "Turn 1" instead of your opponent. Likewise, if you use it during Turn 1 you would also get Turn 2 and your opponent would get Turn 3, and so on... However, if you use it on the final turn of the match you do not get an extra turn.

Attacks » Exciting Dance | Attacks » Slight Splash
If my opponent flipped heads for Nymble's "Slight Splash" attack on their previous turn, what happens if I use Quaquaval ex's "Exciting Dance" attack? Does Nymble get switched out to the bench or not?
The effect of Exciting Dance is done to the protected Nymble, so Exciting Dance would not move it to the bench.

Attacks » G-Max Pulverization | Attacks » Tempting Trap
If I use Mawile's "Tempting Trap" attack to place an effect on the Defending Pokemon where it takes +90 more damage from attacks on my next turn, what happens if I use Duraludon VMAX's "G-Max Pulverization" attack on my next turn? Does it still do the +90 damage or not?
G-Max Pulverization says its damage isn't affected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokemon, so the extra +90 damage would not be done. Bad move dude...

Attacks » Justice Kick
If I use Palafin's "Justice Kick" attack after I move it up to replace a Pokemon that was KO'd by an opponent's attack, does it do anything?
No, Palafin was moved to the Active Spot during the opponent's turn, not during "this turn".

Abilities » Double Type | Attacks » Loud Mix
Does a Pokemon with multiple types such as Scovillain with the "Double Type" Ability count for two different types of Pokemon for Toxtricity's "Loud Mix" attack?
Yes, Loud Mix checks for the number of types of Pokemon on your Bench, not how many Pokemon there are.
