- Can you use Devolution Spray or Golurk's "Devolution Punch" attack against a Mega Pokemon, and if so what happens to the Mega Pokemon?
- Mega Pokemon are evolved Pokemon, so the Mega Pokemon card is removed, but the underlying Pokemon and all other cards attached stay in play (unless the Pokemon is KO'd, of course).

- Arbok's "Gastro Acid" attack says the Defending Pokemon has no Abilities until end of your next turn. Is that referring to the opponent's next turn or the attacking player's next turn?
- It refers to the end of the next turn of the player who used Arbok's attack.

- Arbok's "Gastro Acid" attack says the Defending Pokemon has no Abilities until end of your next turn. Does retreating get rid of the effect so you can use Abilities?

- If I use Inkay's "Upside-Down Evolution" Ability, does it remain Confused after evolving?
- No, it does not. The phrase "this counts as evolving this Pokemon" refers to evolution rules that remove Special Conditions on that Pokemon.

- Can I put Inkay into play, confuse it somehow, and use its "Upside-Down Evolution" Ability all on the same turn?

- If I use Aegislash's "Stance Change" Ability, to switch for another Aegislash, can I then use the new Aegislash's "Stance Change" if I want to?
- No, even though you have switched to a new Aegislash card you cannot use Stance Change again because the effect of using it remains on that Pokemon.

- The wording of Pokemon Catcher is now as follows, "Flip a coin. If heads, switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon with his or her Active Pokemon." This card now requires a coin flip; making it functionally identical to Pokémon Reversal.
