Any effect that alters the cost of a Pokemon's attacks is intended to alter the cost of ANY attack that Pokemon uses, not just the ones printed on the card. This means any attack that the Pokemon is given access to, such as Earthen Seal Stone's "Star Gravity" attack when attached as a tool, can be used at the altered cost when effects such as Galarian Zapdos V's "Fighting Instinct" Ability are in play. For example, Fighting Instinct says, "This Pokemon's attacks cost {C} less for each of your opponent's Pokemon V in play"; however a more accurate description would be, "Attacks that this Pokemon uses cost {C} less for each of your opponent's Pokemon V in play." This applies to effects that reduce or increase attack costs, and goes all the way back to the Black & White series thru current series.

Trainers » Serena
Can a player use Serena's first option if they would still have 5 or more cards in their hand even after discarding 3 cards?
The main effect of Serena's first option is to discard cards from your hand; so as long as you can discard at least 1 card from your hand you can use it.

Trainers » Path to the Peak | Attacks » Star Cipher | Attacks » Ticking Terror
After using Unown VSTAR's "Star Cipher" attack while Path to the Peak is in play, I then use Spiritomb's "Ticking Terror" attack to change the Defending Pokemon's Weakness to {D}. If my opponent removes Path to the Peak from play, what will that Pokemon's Weakness be?
The Weakness will be {P}. Once Path to the Peak is removed from play Star Cipher's effect will reapply, and the most recent Weakness-changing effect takes precedent.

Abilities » Dew Guard | Trainers » Sordward & Shielbert
If my opponent has Milotic with "Dew Guard" Ability is in play, what happens if I play Sordward & Shielbert from my hand?
Since the opponent cannot answer the question due to the effect of Dew Guard, Sordward & Shielbert fizzles and nothing happens.

Trainers » Earthen Seal Stone | Trainers » Forest Seal Stone
Can I use the VSTAR Powers of Earthen Seal Stone or Forest Seal Stone if they are attached to Pokemon-V that have not evolved into a Pokemon VSTAR yet?
Yes, that is correct. But keep in mind that you still can't use more than one VSTAR Power in a game, even if you evolve the Pokemon V into a Pokemon VSTAR later.

Trainers » Spicy Seasoned Curry
Are you able to play Spicy Seasoned Curry when your active Pokemon doesn't have any damage on it or is already Burned?
If your Active Pokemon does not have any damage on it AND it is already Burned, you cannot play Spicy Seasoned Curry. But if it is not Burned OR if it already has damage on it, you can play Spicy Seasoned Curry and do as much of it as you can.
