If I use Tinkaton's "Alloyed Hammer" attack with only one Luminous Energy attached, does it do 60 or 180 damage?: The Luminous Energy pays the {P} attack cost but also counts as all energy types including {M}, so you would do the bonus damage for a total of 180 damage.

If I use Radiant Alakazam's "Painful Spoons" Ability to move two damage counters from one of my opponent's Pokemon to a Fusion Strike Pokemon with Fusion Strike Energy attached to it, what happens to the damage counters?: Since the opponent's Fusion Strike Energy prevents all effects of Abilities done by your Pokemon, if you choose to move the damage counters to a Fusion Strike Pokemon with Fusion Strike Energy attached the damage counters would be discarded rather than moved onto that Pokemon. However, if you choose a Fusion Strike Pokemon with Fusion Strike Energy attached as the source of where the damage counters would be moved from, they simply are not moved and the Painful Spoons ability stops there.

If I have a Klawf ex with "Counterattacking Pincer" Ability and Rugged Helmet attached to it, what happens if it gets damaged by an opponent's attack from a Fusion Strike Pokemon that has a Fusion Strike Energy and a Double Turbo Energy attached to it?: The Counterattacking Pincer ability and Rugged Helmet are triggered simultaneously, so you may choose the order in which they are applied. If you choose the Counterattacking Pincer ability first it will fizzle due to Fusion Strike Energy. However, if you choose to use Rugged Helmet first you can put the Fusion Strike Energy into the opponent's hand and then you can use Counterattacking Pincer to discard the Double Turbo Energy.

If I have both a Lucky Energy and a Gift Energy attached, what happens to a Pokemon if it receives enough damage to be knocked out? Do I get to choose the order of effects, or does one happen before the other.: You do not get to choose the order of effects. Lucky Energy's effect happens when damage is placed onto the Pokemon. Then Gift Energy's effect happens later when checking to see if the Pokemon is KO'd or not.

If my opponent has Spiritomb with the "Fettered in Misfortune" Ability in play, does attaching a Fusion Strike Energy to my Genesect V allow it to use its "Fusion Strike System" Ability or not?: Fusion Strike Energy protects Genesect V from the effect of Fettered in Misfortune, so yes it would be able to use its Fusion Strike System Ability.

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 I use Sky Seal Stone's "Star Order" Ability and then my Basic Pokemon V's attack knocks out my opponent's Active Mew VMAX with a Fusion Strike Energy attached, do I take an additional prize card or not?: Fusion Strike Energy prevents all effects of your Pokemon's Abilities done to the opponent's Fusion Strike Pokemon the energy card is attached to; but the effect of Star Order is not on the opponent’s Pokemon, so you get to take the extra prize.

If I have multiple V Guard Energy cards attached to a single Pokemon, will they each prevent 30 damage from my opponent's Pokemon V's attacks?: No, V Guard Energy does not stack. It specifically says on the card, "this effect can't be applied more than once at a time to the same Pokemon".
