What happens if you try to use Electrode-EX's "Extra Energy Bomb" and you have less than 5 energy cards in your discard pile? A. If you have five, you must take five. If you have less than five, you must take whatever you have. It does not say "up to 5" on the card.

Can Strength Charm be used to get around the Mr.Mime-EX powers that block even or odd amounts of damage? A. Yes, the Strength Charm is factored into the amount of damage being done before Mr.Mime-EX's power is checked. (Oct 28, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == QUICK SEARCH (Pidgeot - EX:Fire Red / Leaf Green) Q. Say I use Pidgeot's "Quick Search" and then scoop it up with Mr.Briney or something. If I then use the scooped up card to evolve my benched Pidgeotto, can I then use Quick Search again because all the effects of the previous Pidgeot are gone? A. No, it doesn't work that way. The text on Quick Search says, "you can't use more than 1 Quick Search Poke-Power each turn". The effect lasts throughout the remainder of the turn; it does not specifically reside on the Pidgeot that used it.

If you have a Double Rainbow Energy attached to Steelix (Sandstorm), does its "Spinning Tail" attack get reduced by 10 even though there's no damage number listed in the text area? A. Yes, the DRE would indeed reduce the damage to both the Active and Benched Pokemon in this situation.

Can you use Great Ball if your bench is full? Like, to search your deck and not pull anything out? A. Of course not, don't be foolish. (Oct 28, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == ISLAND CAVE (EX:Hidden Legends) Q. Can you use the "Island Cave" stadium to remove conditions like Magmar's "Smokescreen" or Masquerain's "Silver Wind"? A. No, the phrase "Special Conditions" refers to things like Poison, Confusion, etc. as outlined in the rulebook. (Oct 28, 2004 PUI Rules Team) == MT. MOON (EX:Fire Red / Leaf Green) Q. Does Mt. Moon stop the "Pokemon Powers" from older sets, or just "Poke-Powers" (not "Poke-Body") from newer sets? A. While the phrase "Pokemon Power" includes "Poke-Powers", the reverse is not true. So Mt. Moon does not stop older "Pokemon Powers.
