Can I use Heavy Ball to look for a LEGEND Pokemon half?
No, you cannot. The Retreat Cost is only printed on one half of the LEGEND Pokemon. If it is printed on both cards, then it is a common attribute for both pieces; but since it is printed on only one half it only applies to the LEGEND Pokemon when both pieces are in play.

If "Raikou & Suicune LEGEND" attacks "Suicune & Entei LEGEND", how is weakness calculated?
Since "Suicune & Entei LEGEND" is weak to both of "Raikou & Suicune LEGEND's" types (Electric and Water), you would multiply the damage x4.

Do the LEGEND cards with two Pokemon on them (i.e. "Entei & Raikou LEGEND", etc.) count as two Pokemon while in play?
No, they only count as a single Pokemon when in play, even if your opponent takes 2 Prize cards when they are knocked out.

Can I use Mew's "Re-creation" attack to choose a Lugia LEGEND card with the attack "Elemental Blast" written on it from my opponent's discard pile, and use that attack?
No, you can't use any attacks from a Pokemon LEGEND unless both pieces are in play.

If Primeape's "Top Drop" attack reveals a LEGEND Pokemon card with no HP printed on it, how much damage does it do (if any)?
No damage is done regardless of which LEGEND half is revealed by Top Drop, because even the half with HP written on it is not considered "a Pokemon" while in the Discard Pile.

Can I use Mantine's "Group Swim" attack to put one half of a Lugia LEGEND card in my hand?
Yes. Either half of the Lugia LEGEND card is still considered "a Water-type Pokemon", so you can search for it with Group Swim.

Can I play a Pokemon LEGEND as my Active Pokemon or on my Bench during setup?
No. Since a Pokemon LEGEND is not a Basic Pokemon you cannot play it during setup, even if you have both halves.

What if during setup the only Pokemon cards in my hand are Pokemon LEGEND halves?
Since you have no Basic Pokemon to place Active you will let your opponent look at your hand, then shuffle and redraw your hand as described in the rulebook.

How many of each half of the Pokemon LEGEND cards can I have in my 60 card deck? Is it 4 total or 4 of each half?
You can put up to 4 total halves of each Pokemon LEGEND in your deck (e.g. 4 Ho-Oh LEGEND halves and 4 Lugia LEGEND halves), but you cannot put 4 of each half of a Pokemon LEGEND in your deck (e.g. you couldn't have 4 Lugia LEGEND top half and 4 Lugia LEGEND bottom half).

Can I put three halves of one Pokemon LEGEND card and one of the other half in my deck?
Yes, that is legal if you wish. You do not need to have the same number of each half in your deck.
