- Does using Beast Ball count as "taking a prize" for the purpose of calculating damage for Stakataka GX's "Assembly GX" attack?
- No, it does not. You are switching cards, not taking a prize.

- Sky Pillar says, "Prevent all effects of the opponent's attacks, including damage, done to Benched Pokemon (both yours and your opponent's)". So does this mean if I use an attack like Zapdos' "Raging Thunder" that I do not apply the bench damage to my own Pokemon?
- No, only bench damage done from an opponent's attacks is prevented by Sky Pillar. If your attack does damage to your own Benched Pokemon it is not prevented.

- If I use Gladion and choose to put Jirachi {*} into my hand, can I use Jirachi {*}'s "Wish Upon a Star" Ability?
- Sorry, but Wish Upon a Star only triggers when you are taking it as a face-down prize card, not when you are trading it with another card.

- Can Apricorn Maker be used to search for the Trainer "Bursting Balloon"? Taking the card literally, Bursting *BALL*oon contains the exact same "Ball" as given on Apricorn Maker.
- Of course not, don't be silly! You can only search for cards like Poke Ball, Ultra Ball, Beast Ball, etc.

- Can I use Wally or Evosoda to search my deck for a card that is not in the current tournament format? For example, could I use it on Raichu to search for a Raichu BREAK after it rotates out?
- Yes, you can. Even though a card may not be in the tournament format it still exists and can be searched for even though it is known to fail.
