Suppose there is a Chaos Gym in play and I have a Slowking benched. I attempt to play Computer Search, discarding 2 cards to do so, and then I flip tails. My opponent attempts to play/use the Computer Search. Does she ALSO discard 2 cards before the Slowking and Chaos Gym flips? A. Yup. Though that player does NOT need to check for Chaos Gym again. They could still be stopped by Slowking (if you had one). (Dec 5, 2002 WotC Chat, Q13) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- POKEMON ATTACKS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == RAINBOW BURN (Ho-oh - Neo: Revelation Expansion) Q. If I have 3 Porygon2 on my bench and an active Ho-Oh with 4 Grass energy attached, how much damage can Ho-Oh do if I use Energy Conversion to change the types of 3 of the Grass energies? No additional damage?! A. Correct, no additional damage. The Ho-Oh only does 10 more for each type of Basic Energy card. A basic Energy card whose type is changed still counts as the original basic Energy card....and the new type's Energy. So a Grass Energy card on Ho-oh is a Grass Basic Energy card if it is changed to provide fire it is still a Grass Basic Energy card. It would count as a Fire Energy card, but not a Basic Fire Energy card. Clear? You have to understand that you NEVER change what a card really is. You can change what it provides and what it can count as. Ho-oh is the only card that I know that requires different BASIC ENERGY card on it. [NOTE: Porygon2's power says "treat that energy card as that type", not "treat it as that Basic Energy card".] (Dec 5, 2002 WotC Chat, Q52 & Q61 & Q65 & Q67 & Q74) ***** PREVIOUS RULING: THIS ONE HAS SINCE BEEN OVERRULED; See Above ***** Q. If a Porygon2 changes a grass on Ho-oh with 4 grass on it to fire, it will still only do only 50 instead of 60?? A. 50 damage.
