- If my opponent KO'd one of my Pokemon and then on my next turn I use Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR's "Star Chronos" attack, or if I KO one of my opponent's Pokemon with Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack, can I play Raihan on the second of my two turns from either of those attacks?
- Yes, you can. Your Pokemon was KO'd "during your opponent's last turn" regardless of how many turns you take since then.

- If Temple of Sinnoh is in play do I still need to discard a card from my hand in order to attach an Aurora Energy card?
- Yes, because the discard is required in order to play Aurora Energy.

- Can I play Gutsy Pickaxe if I have no Benched Pokemon?
- No, you cannot. Since it is mandatory to attach a Fighting Energy if you draw one, you have to have a Benched Pokemon in order to play the card.

- Can Gutsy Pickaxe attach Single Strike Energy if one is revealed as the top card of my deck?
- No, it cannot. Single Strike Energy doesn't count as a Fighting Energy while in the deck.

- If I use Single Strike Style Mustard to put Duraludon VMAX directly onto my bench, can I later use Cheryl to remove damage counters from it despite it not having evolved into the VMAX?
- Yes, it is still an "Evolution Pokemon" since it has an Evolution box printed on it. It would not be an "Evolved Pokemon" but that is not what Cheryl requires.

- If Temple of Sinnoh is in play, does Meloetta's "Melodious Echo" attack still do 70 damage for each Fusion Strike Energy attached?
- Yes. Temple of Sinnoh removes all effects and provides 1 Colorless energy, but it does not change the card name to be something other than "Fusion Strike Energy". So Melodious Echo still does 70 damage for each attached Fusion Strike Energy you have in play.

- If my Kecleon with "Chromashift" Ability is knocked out while it had a Fairy energy attached, would I be able to use Diantha during my next turn?
- Yes, you can.

- If I have a Kecleon with the "Chromashift" Ability in play and two basic Water Energy and a basic Fighting Energy attached, and my opponent has a Jolteon with the "Thunderous Awakening" Ability and a Memory Capsule attached, would Kecleon still be considered a Fighting type Pokemon?
- No, it would not. Thunderous Awakening would turn off Kecleon's Chromashift Ability completely, therefore Kecleon would be a Colorless type.
