If I intend to use a Poke-POWER [or Ability], do I have to announce its name or can I just take the action specified?: You have to clearly communicate your intent to use a Poke-POWER [or Ability] by some method other than just performing its game effect. Show or tell your opponent which Pokémon is going to use what Power.

If I have 2 of the same Pokémon in play that have a Pokémon Power [or Ability], can I use that power twice? What powers wouldn't be useable twice, or more for that matter?: Sure, depends on the particular power though. If you had two Muks for example, then only one power is necessary.
