I use Ninjask's "Quick Touch" attack against my opponent's Cacturne (Sandstorm with Poison Payback) and decide to switch. Would my new active pokemon be poisoned or would the effect of Poison Payback effect Ninjask before it switches? A. The Poison Payback would have affected Ninjask, but then it gets moved to the bench (thus removing the poison condition) before any damage counters get placed. (Jul 8, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == SWALLOW UP (Swalot - EX:Hidden Legends) Q. Can I use the additional 10 hit points from Low Pressure Stadium in calculating the HP of Swalot in order to use its "Swallow Up" attack? A. Yes, Swalot would do extra damage in that instance.

What happens if I start the turn with a Stage 1 Pokemon, attach an Ancient Technical Machine to it, and then evolve it to a Stage 2 -EX Pokemon (i.e. Kingdra-EX)? Do I get to keep the ATM because it was already attached, or must it be discarded? A. Since the ATM's cannot be attached to a Pokemon-EX, it must be discarded and cannot be used. It would also be the same for a Pokemon that de-evolved as well. (Jul 8, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == MAGNETIC STORM (EX:Hidden Legends) Q. If the dual-type Metagross (Psychic/Metal) attacks Magneton with Metal resistance, but Magnetic Storm stadium is in play (damage done by attacks from Psychic & Fighting Pokemon aren't affected by resistance), does the resistance get applied or not? A. Well, the stadium says to ignore resistance from Pokemon that are those types, and Metagross is indeed one of those said types. So it looks like it gets around Magneton's resistance to Metal in this special situation.
