Energy » Aurora Energy | Abilities » Special Transfer
If I use Dusknoir's "Special Transfer" Ability to move an Aurora Energy to another Pokemon, do I have to discard a card from my hand per Aurora Energy's text?
Special Transfer is "moving" the Special Energy to another Pokemon, not "attaching" it like you would from your hand. So since the Aurora Energy is already in play you do not have to discard a card from your hand in this situation.

Abilities » Sonic Slip
If I play Garchomp with the "Sonic Slip" Ability to evolve my Active Pokemon and then Garchomp moves to the Bench, does the effect from "Sonic Slip" get removed?
No. It is an effect from an Ability, not from an Attack, so moving to the Bench does not remove it.

Abilities » Lively Fruit
Does Cherubi's "Lively Fruit" Ability prevent an attack from moving or placing damage counters?
In the steps of resolving an attack, moving or "placing Damage Counters" counts as an Effect of the attack; it is not part of "doing damage". Therefore, as an Effect it would be prevented by Lively Fruit.

Abilities » Emergency Surfacing | Attacks » Evopress
If I put Empoleon onto my Bench using its "Emergency Surfacing" Ability, does Torterra's "Evopress" attack add 50 to its damage for the unevolved Empoleon?
Yes, even though Empoleon doesn't have any lower stages attached to it, it is still considered an Evolution Pokemon.

Abilities » Additional Order | Trainers » Cafe Master
If I have Alcremie with the "Additional Order" Ability in the Active Spot and then play Cafe Master, does my turn end immediately if I retreat Alcremie?
No, your turn does not end because Alcremie was active when you played Cafe Master.

Abilities » Sonic Slip | Errata » Sonic Slip
The original intention of this [Sonic Slip] Ability was to provide protection only from the opponent's attacks, not from your own. The new text will say, "When you play this Pokemon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokemon during your turn, you may prevent all damage from and effects of attacks from your opponent's Pokemon done to this Pokemon until the end of your opponent's next turn."

Trainers » Avery | Abilities » Omega Barrier
I have 5 Pokemon on my Bench, and 2 of them have the "Omega Barrier" Ancient Trait. If my opponent plays Avery and I choose the 2 Pokemon that have "Omega Barrier", do they get discarded or is the effect of Avery blocked?
Yes, they get discarded. The discard effect of Avery is on you, the player choosing the Pokemon, not on the Pokemon with Omega Barrier.
