Rulings - Pokémon Rulings Compendium

If you use an attack that puts your opponent's Pokémon to Sleep (like Haunter's Nightmare), and the Defending Pokémon was already Asleep before you attacked, do you still have to flip a coin after the attack to see if it wakes up?: Yes, they get to flip at the end of each player's turn.

If one of your Pokémon was Poisoned, and a few turns later it is KO'd by the Poison, does your opponent take a Prize card although the Poison KO'd the Pokémon, and not your opponents Pokémon?: Yes, he would still draw a Prize card. Whenever a Pokémon is Knocked Out, the other player gets Prize cards -- even if you Knock Out your own.

Does Magmar's Smokescreen effect end if the Defending Pokémon evolves?: Since Magmar's Smokescreen attack references the Defending Pokémon, by it evolving, it removes that effect.

Does Fearow's Agility attack block Kangaskhan's Fetch?: Actually it does not; Fearow's Agility says stops damage done to Fearow, and the Fetch just draws a card. This is the new ruling from R&D.

When you Knock Out more than one of your opponent's Pokémon in a turn (i.e. using Selfdestruct or Raichu's Gigashock attack) do you receive a Prize for each Knocked Out enemy Pokémon?: Yes you do. And if you knock out some of your own, your opponent gets to draw prizes as well.
