If my opponent has less than 3 cards in his or her deck, so that I can't reorder the top 3 cards, can I still use Slowking's "Second Sight" Poke-POWER to look at the remaining cards in the deck?: Yes, you look at your opponent's remaining cards, then put them back in the deck in any order.

Can I use Shedinja's "Vessel of Life" Ability to attach it to a Pokemon that already has another Pokemon Tool card attached?: No, you cannot; the rulebook states "each Pokemon can have only 1 Pokemon Tool attached at any time". However, if there's an effect that overrides that rule, such as Genesect GX's "Double Drive" Ability, then you would be able to attach Shedinja to a Pokemon that already has another Pokemon Tool card attached.

If I intend to use a Poke-POWER [or Ability], do I have to announce its name or can I just take the action specified?: You have to clearly communicate your intent to use a Poke-POWER [or Ability] by some method other than just performing its game effect. Show or tell your opponent which Pokémon is going to use what Power.

If my opponent has a Pokémon with only 2 damage counters on it, can I still use Absol-EX's "Cursed Eyes" Poké-POWER on it?: Yes, you can. If you use this power, you move the 2 damage counters to another one of your opponent's Pokémon.

If my opponent has more than one Pokémon with damage on it, can I use Absol-EX's "Cursed Eyes" Poké-POWER on one that has less than 3 damage counters even if they have another Pokémon with 3 or more damage counters on it?: You may choose to use Absol-EX's power against any Pokémon with damage counters, but if it has less than three you would move all of the damage counters off of it.

When using Absol-EX's "Cursed Eyes", do I have to move all three counters or can I choose to move less than three (like if I only need to move one counter to KO another Pokémon and wished to leave the other two where they are)?: You must move 3 from that Pokémon if there are 3 that can be moved.

Can you "Energy Trans" or "Dark Trance" a Rainbow Energy, Multi Energy, or any other special energy cards?: As long as they are providing the proper energy type and don't violate any other restrictions written on the card, then yes you may.

If I have Quagsire and my opponent has Ampharos-EX in play and I attach an energy card to my Quagsire from my hand, which Poke-POWER gets applied first, Saturation or Conductivity?: Conductivity and Saturation happen at the same time, so the player attaching energy would get to decide which effect to apply first.

Would Flygon's "Energy Shower" attack set off Ampharos-EX's "Conductivity" power? Like if I set down 6 energy, it would do 60 Damage (however I set down the energy)? And if yes, would the damage be done to Flygon or to each separate Pokemon. that I attach an energy to?: Yes, Flygon would indeed trigger Ampharos-EX's Conductivity; it also works the same way for Azumarill's "Drizzle" attack. And the damage would be done to each individual Pokemon that gets an energy attached to it.
