For Team Aqua's Walrein's "Power Blow" attack, does it do 10 or 20 damage if there's only a single energy card on it? A. It does 20 damage, 10 plus 10 more for each energy attached (regardlessof whether it's paying for the attack cost or not).

If my opponent has a dual type Pokemon in play (Fighting and Dark, for example), can I use Friend Ball to get either a Fighting OR a Dark type Pokemon, or can I only use Friend Ball to get a Fighting/Dark dual type? A. If the opponent has a dual-type Pokemon, you can use Friend Ball to search for any single one of its types. You would not have to search for an identical dual-type.

If Ecogym was in play and you used Aqua Energy that would be discarded when your turn ends, would it go back to your hand because it's an effect of an energy? A. No. Ecogym says "attack, Pokémon Power, or Trainer card discards another player's..." It's a result of your own card, so Ecogym would not trigger. (May 20, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == DOUBLE RAINBOW ENERGY (EX:Team Magma/Team Aqua) Q. If I have a Double Rainbow Energy attached to my Kirlia and then it somehow gets devolved back into Ralts, do I have to discard the DRE or does it get to stay? A. Yes, you have to discard DRE whenever the Pokemon devolves into a basic Pokemon. (May 20, 2004 PUI Rules Team) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL GAMEPLAY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == WEAKNESS AND RESISTANCE Q. At a recent tournament, the TO ruled that if a Pokemon has resistance to a particular type, and a dual-type Pokemon is that type and something else, it doesn't affect that pokemon's attack at all. Is this true? A. No. If a Pokemon has more than one type, each type still counts against the Defending Pokemon's Weaknesses or Resistances.
