When Lost City stadium is in play and an evolved Pokemon is knocked out, does the Basic and all of its evolution cards go to the Lost Zone, or only the top evolution card goes into the Lost Zone and the rest of the Pokemon cards go to the discard pile?: Yes, all of the Pokemon in the evolution chain go into the Lost Zone. All other cards are "attached" and are discarded.

If I have Virizion V with "Verdant Wind" Ability in play, can I play Spicy Seasoned Curry to heal 40 damage from one of my Pokemon with {G} Energy attached and not get Burned?: Yes that would work, even if there's no damage on the Pokemon with {G} Energy attached. It's a valid target to be Burned, but the Burn condition is blocked by Verdant Wind.

If Temple of Sinnoh is in play and a player has a Basic Rapid Strike Sobble with a Rapid Strike Energy attached, and the player evolves to a Drizzile which is not a Rapid Strike Pokemon, does the Rapid Strike Energy get discarded or not?: Since the Rapid Strike Energy is already attached, it stays attached to Drizzile while Temple of Sinnoh is in play; however, it would be discarded from the Drizzile when Temple of Sinnoh leaves play.

Can I use Comfey's "Flower Selecting" Ability or Colress's Experiment if I have only 1 card left in my deck?: You can play either of them with only one card left in your deck; but you have to put the card into your hand, you cannot discard it or put it into the Lost Zone.

If my opponent has an Empoleon V with "Emperor's Eyes" Ability active, and I have both an Eevee with a Memory Capsule attached and an Eevee with the "Resonant Evolution" Ability in play, if I evolve the Eevee with a Memory Capsule into a Jolteon with "Thunderous Awakening" Ability can I use "Resonant Evolution" or not?: Yes, that will work because Emperor's Eyes has been disabled.

If I use Fantina and then my Flying Pikachu V with Big Parasol attached uses its "Fly" attack and successfully lands heads, would my opponent's Giratina V's "Shred" attack do any damage to Flying Pikachu V or not?: Shred isn't affected by "any effects on the Defending Pokemon"; so the effects from Fantina and Big Parasol and Fly would all be ignored, and Shred would do damage.

If I have a heavily damaged Basic Pokemon V in play, can I use Thorton to switch it with a regular one-prize Basic Pokemon from my discard pile?: Yes, and if the new Basic Pokemon has less HP than the amount of damage counters it is immediately KO'd and will relinquish only one prize to your opponent.

If I have Comfey in play and I use its "Flower Selecting" Ability, can I then use Thorton to switch it with a different Comfey and use "Flower Selecting" from the new Comfey?: No, that won't work. Even though the new Comfey is a different Pokemon than the first one, it remembers the Flower Selecting Ability was already used this turn so you cannot use it again on that Pokemon.

Can I use Thorton to put a non-Dark Basic Pokemon from my discard pile onto my bench if I have Eternatus VMAX with the "Eternal Zone" Ability in play?: No, you can't play Thorton at all if there aren't any Basic {D} Pokemon in your discard pile.
