Does Chandelure VMAX's "Cursed Shimmer" Ability prevent Maractus' "Ditch and Shake" attack from discarding any number of Pokemon Tool cards?: No, Cursed Shimmer only prevents the opponent from playing Pokemon Tool cards from their hand; that is not the same thing as discarding Pokemon Tool cards for Ditch and Shake.

If I have Milotic with the "Dew Guard" Ability in play and my opponent plays Avery, do I have to discard Pokemon from my bench until I have 3 or not?: Milotic's Dew Guard prevents all effects of your opponent's Supporters that are done to you, so you would not discard any Pokemon from your bench for the second part of Avery.

If I use Zoroark's "Phantom Transformation" Ability to put a Stage 1 Pokemon from my discard pile in its place, may I evolve it into a Stage 2 Pokemon right away?: The Stage 1 Pokemon you're putting in play is completely new; nothing carries over, and you can't evolve a Stage 1 that came into play that turn.

If I attack using Jumpluff with the "Fluffy Barrage" Ability, can I do things like attach an Energy or play a Trainer between attacks?: No, you would resolve all effects from the first attack and then either perform your second attack or pass. You don't get to go back into the main part of your turn again.

Does Milotic's "Dew Guard" Ability prevent Supporter cards from removing Tools or Energy from my Pokemon?: No, Pokemon in play are not part of "you or your hand". But it will prevent your opponent from using something like Marnie to make you put your hand on the bottom of your deck and draw a new hand.
