Temple of Sinnoh - Pokémon Rulings Compendium

If Haxorus uses its "Bring Down the Axe" attack while Temple of Sinnoh is in play and there is a Mist Energy attached to the Defending Pokemon, does it knock out the Defending Pokemon?: Yes. Even though Temple of Sinnoh turns off the text portion of Mist Energy, it still remains a Special Energy Card and meets the requirement for Bring Down the Axe.

If Temple of Sinnoh is in play, can I use Archeops' "Primal Turbo" Ability to attach a Rapid Strike Energy from my deck to a non-Rapid Strike Pokemon?: Yes, you can use Primal Turbo to attach Rapid Strike Energy to a non-Rapid Strike Pokemon. Normally Rapid Strike Energy would be discarded immediately, but Temple of Sinnoh removes all effects of Special Energy attached to Pokemon, so Rapid Strike Energy would not be discarded. But if Temple of Sinnoh's effect goes away, then Rapid Strike Energy would be discarded.

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.
