If my opponent has a Ting-Lu ex with "Cursed Land" Ability active and a Gapejaw Bog stadium in play, when I put Spiritomb with the "Fettered in Misfortune" Ability into play is there a brief moment where Spiritomb's Ability is active before the damage counters from Gapejaw Bog are placed onto Spiritomb which in turn triggers "Cursed Land"? For example, making Honchkrow V with the "Boss Pockets" Ability discard all but one of its Tools before "Fettered in Misfortune" turns off?
The order of effects in this scenario are as follows: 1) When Spiritomb is played onto the Bench its Fettered in Misfortune Ability immediately cancels out the Boss Pockets Ability of Honchkrow V, thus causing all but one of the Tool cards attached to Honchkrow V to be discarded. 2) Gapejaw Bog's effect puts damage counters on Spiritomb. 3) The Cursed Land Ability of Ting-Lu ex cancels out Spiritomb's Fettered in Misfortune Ability.

Abilities » Cursed Land | Trainers » Gapejaw Bog | Abilities » Pumpkin Pit
Say Gapejaw Bog stadium is in play and Ting-Lu ex with "Cursed Land" Ability is in the Active Spot. If I put Pumpkaboo onto the Bench, can I use its "Pumpkin Pit" Ability to discard Gapejaw Bog before it places damage counters on Pumpkaboo?
Since Pumpkin Pit and Gapejaw Bog are simultaneous effects, it is up to the player to choose the order in which they will be applied. If the Stadium discard effect is resolved first, no damage counters will be placed on Pumpkaboo. However, if the player chooses to put the damage counters from Gapejaw Bog first, then Pumpkin Pit won't work because Ting-Lu ex's Cursed Land would shut off Pumpkin Pit.

Attacks » Moonglow Reverse | Abilities » Stellar Veil
What happens if I use Cresselia's "Moonglow Reverse" attack to move a bunch of damage counters from my Pokemon to one of my opponent's Benched Pokemon while they have a Jirachi with the "Stellar Veil" Ability in play?
Moonglow Reverse would remove two damage counters from each of your Pokemon in play, but the opponent's Benched Pokemon would not receive any of them because it is protected by Stellar Veil.

Attacks » Scorching Heater | Abilities » Stance
If my opponent attacked with Magby's "Scorching Heater" attack last turn and I evolve into Espathra with "Stance" Ability this turn, will my Espathra receive the 6 damage counters from "Scorching Heater" if it attacks and does damage to Magby?
No, it will not receive the 6 damage counters. Stance prevents all effects of your opponent's attacks, and Scorching Heater's damage counters are an effect of your opponent's attack.

Abilities » Slime Mold Colony | Trainers » Superior Energy Retrieval
Can I play Superior Energy Retrieval while my opponent has Toedscruel with the "Slime Mold Colony" Ability active?
If you do that you would discard two cards for Superior Energy Retrieval, but you would not get to retrieve any energy cards from your discard pile.

Abilities » Mischievous Lock | Abilities » Tachyon Bits
If I have Klefki with "Mischievous Lock" Ability active and switch or retreat it to an Iron Valiant ex with "Tachyon Bits" Ability, can I use Tachyon Bits?
Yes, when Iron Valiant ex switches in Klefki is no longer there, so Mischievous Lock does not prevent the use of Tachyon Bits.

Errata » Grasnar e Aproveitar | Abilities » Grasnar e Aproveitar | Abilities » Squawk and Seize
Due to a localization error in the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Squawkabilly ex card (SV:Paldea Evolved, 169/193), the text of the "Grasnar e Aproveitar" Ability will be updated. The original text of this Pokémon's Ability was, "Uma vez durante o seu turno," ("Once during your turn,"). This Ability was intended to be used only on a player's first turn of the game. The Ability text must be updated to ensure that "Grasnar e Aproveitar" functions as intended, and must align with the original Japanese text. The new text for Squawkabilly ex's Ability will be, "Uma vez durante o seu primeiro turno," ("Once during your first turn,). The change will take effect immediately, and all Brazilian Portuguese versions of Squawkabilly ex (SV:Paldea Evolved, 169/193, 247/193, and 264/193) will use the updated Ability text.
