Do I use Radiant Venusaur's "Sunny Bloom" Ability before or after taking prize cards at the end of my turn?: Sunny Bloom is used at the end of your turn after attacking and checking for a KO but before Pokemon Checkup. So if your attack causes a KO, you would take Prize cards first, and then get to use Sunny Bloom.

If I have a Kecleon with the "Chromashift" Ability in play and two basic Water Energy and a basic Fighting Energy attached, and my opponent has a Jolteon with the "Thunderous Awakening" Ability and a Memory Capsule attached, would Kecleon still be considered a Fighting type Pokemon?: No, it would not. Thunderous Awakening would turn off Kecleon's Chromashift Ability completely, therefore Kecleon would be a Colorless type.
