Does a poisoned Fusion Strike Pokemon with Fusion Strike Energy attached take additional damage counters from Radiant Hisuian Sneasler's "Poison Peak" Ability?: No, because Poison Peak is an Ability and Fusion Strike Energy prevents all effects of your opponent's Pokemon's Abilities.

If I have Comfey in play and I use its "Flower Selecting" Ability, can I then use Thorton to switch it with a different Comfey and use "Flower Selecting" from the new Comfey?: No, that won't work. Even though the new Comfey is a different Pokemon than the first one, it remembers the Flower Selecting Ability was already used this turn so you cannot use it again on that Pokemon.

When putting Banette into the Lost Zone with its "Puppet Offering" Ability, do you also put the underlying Shuppet card into the Lost Zone too?: Yes, the underlying card is part of the Pokemon; it is not "attached to" the Pokemon.

After using Clefairy's "Moon-Watching Party" Ability, if I switch or retreat for a benched Clefairy can I use its "Moon-Watching Party" Ability too?: Moon-Watching Party can be used by multiple different Clefairy if you get them into the Active Spot. However, if you bring up a Clefairy that has already used its Moon-Watching Party Ability this turn, it cannot use it a second time.

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.

If I use Drapion VSTAR's "Hazard Star" VSTAR Ability to poison my opponent's Pokemon with 3 damage counters during Pokemon Checkup, and I have Radiant Hisuian Sneasler with the "Poison Peak" Ability in play, does my opponent put 3 or 5 damage counters on their poisoned Pokemon during checkup?: Five damage counters. Poison Peak adds 2 damage counters to whatever the current number of damage counters are being placed for poison.
