- If I play Lysandre's Trump Card and I have a Lysandre's Trump Card from a previous turn in the Discard pile does that card get shuffled back into my deck?
- No, the wording on Lysandre's Trump Card that says "except for Lysandre's Trump Card" is referring to all Lysandre's Trump Cards in the Discard pile.

- What's the proper way to play a Trainer like Ultra Ball?
- When playing a Trainer you first put it onto the playing field (not directly into the Discard Pile). Then you do what the card says, such as discarding two cards (those go into the Discard Pile right away), searching your Deck, showing the selected Pokemon to your opponent before putting it directly into your hand, shuffling your Deck, etc. Finally, after everything is done, put the Trainer card into the Discard Pile.

- If the Pokemon that Focus Sash is attached to is attacked with an attack such as Cobalion EX's "Steel Bullet" that ignores effects on the Defending Pokemon, is it Knocked Out?
- No. The full damage would be done first, and then afterwards the effect of Focus Sash would reduce the damage counters to leave 10 HP remaining.

- If Eevee only has 10 HP left and Frozen City is in play, would it be KO'd before I have a chance to use its "Energy Evolution" ability by attaching a Basic Energy?
- No, it would not. All triggered effects have to be resolved before checking for KO's, so you would take the +10 damage for Frozen City first, then use Energy Evolution to search your deck. Of course, if you fail the search and Eevee's damage is greater than or equal to its HP, then Eevee is KO'd.
