Energy » Double Turbo Energy | Trainers » Sparkling Crystal | Attacks » Torrential Pump
My Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex has a Sparkling Crystal attached and only one Double Turbo Energy on it. If I use its "Torrential Pump" attack, can I shuffle the Double Turbo Energy back into the deck and do damage to a benched Pokemon?
Yes, this is a case of doing as much as you can. You would get to do the bench damage even though you can't detach 3 energy, but you must shuffle in SOME energy in order to get the bonus. You shuffle the two energy that are attached back into the deck, and do 80 to the active and 100 to the bench (remember, damage is still reduced for the DTE since the detachment happens after damage is done).

Trainers » Grand Tree
Can I use Grand Tree to search my deck if I don't have any Pokemon in play that can evolve further?
No, you may not. There must be a known valid evolution path in order to use Grand Tree.

Trainers » Deluxe Bomb
My Opponent & I each have one prize card left and no benched Pokemon, and my Active Pokemon has only 100 HP left. If I Knock Out their Defending Pokemon that has a Deluxe Bomb attached, does the game end before they get to place 12 damage counters on my Pokemon to take their last prize card?
No, they get to take a Prize card. Everything, including all effects, have to be resolved before the game is considered as finished.

Trainers » Crispin
If I use Crispin and I only get one Basic Energy from my deck, can I attach it to one of my Pokemon?
No, if you only get one Basic Energy card you have to put it in your hand.

Trainers » Area Zero Underdepths
I have Area Zero Underdepths in play, a Tera Pokemon-ex as my Active Pokemon, and 8 Pokemon on my Bench, none of which have the Tera Trait. My Opponent uses an attack that allows them to Knock Out my Active Tera Pokemon-ex and also two of my Benched Pokemon. Once my Tera Pokemon-ex has been Knocked Out and discarded, am I able to discard my two Benched Pokemon that have taken full damage before I count them as KO'd, or do I have to KO them first?
You have to KO them first and your opponent gets to take Prize cards for them. After they have been KO'd, you would then discard one final Pokemon from the bench due to Area Zero Underdepths and then choose a new Active Pokemon.

Trainers » Area Zero Underdepths | Attacks » Form Ranks
If I use Falinks' "Form Ranks" attack while Area Zero Underdepths stadium is in play and I already have 4 non-Tera Pokemon on my Bench, how many Pokemon can I put on the Bench if the first one I place is a Tera Pokemon?
Only one. Since there were no Tera Pokemon in play when the attack was used, there is only one space available to fill on the Bench.

Trainers » Bravery Charm | Attacks » Ground Crasher | Trainers » Jamming Tower
If Ting-Lu attacks with "Ground Crasher" against a 30 HP Cleffa with Bravery Charm attached while Jamming Tower is in play, would it do the damage first and KO Cleffa, or would Jamming Tower be discarded first and Cleffa survives due to its Bravery Charm reactivating?
The damage is indeed done first and then Jamming Tower is discarded, but lucky for Cleffa the check for KO does not happen until all damage and effects have been resolved. Cleffa would have 80HP and is not KO'd by Ground Crasher.

Attacks » Grasping Draw | Trainers » Pokemon League Headquarters
If Pokemon League Headquarters stadium is in play, how many energy are needed for energyless attacks like Cleffa's "Grasping Draw" attack?
Any attacks that normally cost no energy now require at least one energy to be attached when Pokemon League Headquarters is in play. However, if an effect like Cramorant's "Lost Provisions" Ability sets an attack's cost to zero energy, Pokemon League Headquarters does not add an additional energy requirement to it.
