Abilities » Big Net | Trainers » Rescue Board
If my active Pokemon with 30HP remaining has a Rescue Board tool attached, making it have no Retreat Cost, does Ariados' "Big Net" Ability affect its retreat cost?
Nope, if a Pokemon's Retreat Cost is set to zero by an effect such as Rescue Board, it cannot be increased by Big Net.

Trainers » Forest Seal Stone | Abilities » Garbotoxin
Can I use Forest Seal Stone's "Star Alchemy" Ability if Garbodor's "Garbotoxin" Ability is activated?

Trainers » Cursed Shovel | Abilities » Reassuring Dam
Can I use Cursed Shovel to discard cards from my opponent's deck if they have Bibarel with "Reassuring Dam" Ability on their Bench?
Yes, since Cursed Shovel is a Tool card and not an attack, Ability, Item card, or Supporter card its effect would not be blocked.

Attacks » Expelling Tornado | Abilities » Spherical Shield
If my opponent uses Shiftry's "Expelling Tornado" attack and I have Rabsca in play with 5 Benched Pokemon, would the 2 Benched Pokemon not chosen get shuffled into my deck or would Rabsca's "Spherical Shield" Ability protect them?
Even though the other Pokemon are getting chosen, the effect of Expelling Tornado is still being done to the remaining two Pokemon; so they would be protected by Spherical Shield and would NOT get shuffled into the deck.

Abilities » Midnight Fluttering | Trainers » Prime Catcher | Abilities » Torrential Heart
If I use Feraligatr's "Torrential Heart" Ability and then use Prime Catcher to bring my opponent's Flutter Mane into the Active Spot, would my Feraligatr's attack damage still be boosted?
Yes, even though Flutter Mane is disabling Feraligatr's Ability the Torrential Heart effect was already applied until the end of the turn.

Abilities » Midnight Fluttering | Abilities » Rapid Vernier
What happens if I play Iron Leaves ex and use its "Rapid Vernier" Ability to move to the Active Spot while my opponent has an active Flutter Mane with "Midnight Fluttering" Ability? Can I not move to the Active Spot? Or can I move to the Active Spot but not move any Energy to Iron Leaves ex?
Rapid Vernier becomes active when Iron Leaves ex comes into play, and because its Ability is initiated on the Bench you get to complete all of its actions before Midnight Fluttering deactivates it.

Abilities » Gnawing Curse | Abilities » Metal Maker
If I use Metang's "Metal Maker" Ability while my opponent has Gengar ex with "Gnawing Curse" in play, do I put 2 damage counters for each Energy card attached from "Metal Maker"?
No, Metal Maker does not attach Energy cards from your hand so Gnawing Curse does not apply.
