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".

Say I played Mimikyu V and used its "Dummy Doll" Ability on my turn. Then on my opponent's next turn, they play a Path to the Peak stadium. Does that cancel the effect of "Dummy Doll"?: Since the Dummy Doll Ability activated and placed an effect before Path to the Peak came into play, its effect remains.

Can I use Houndoom's "Single Strike Roar" Ability to search my deck for the special energy card Impact Energy?: No, you cannot.
