If there is more than one Banette GX in play can the player perform "Shady Move" more than once (i.e. perform Shady Move with active, then retreat, switch, etc., perform it again with the new active)?: Yes, you could do that. However, going to the bench does not allow the same Banette GX to do Shady Move again; you are limited to one Shady Move per Banette GX per turn, assuming you can get them into the active slot.

What are the rules for using Banette GX's "Shady Move" Ability?: You can move 1 damage counter from any Pokemon in play to another Pokemon in play; it can be different player's Pokemon or it can be the same player's Pokemon (either you or your opponent).

Can Marshadow GX's "Shadow Hunt" Ability allow you to attack on your first turn using Pheromosa GX's "Fast Raid" attack if Pheromosa GX is in the Discard Pile?: Yes, it can because going first is part of the Fast Raid attack that is being copied.

Can Choice Band be used to get around Mr.Mime GX's "Magic Evens" Ability that blocks even amounts of damage?: Yes, the Choice Band and all other effects that may adjust the attack total are factored into the amount of damage being done before Mr.Mime GX's Ability is checked.

What happens if both Slaking with "Lazy" and Garbodor with "Garbotoxin" in play? Do they cancel each other out or what?: It depends on the order in which each Ability gets activated. Both Lazy & Garbotoxin require a condition in order to activate (either being the Active Pokemon or having a Tool attached), so when one of the abilities is active the other one is prevented. But if the ability gets disabled (like if Slaking is no longer the Active Pokemon or if Garbodor loses its attached Tool), then the other ability can activate even if it was previously prevented.

Say I have Slaking with "Lazy" as my Active Pokemon and my opponent has Wobbuffet with "Bide Barricade" as their Active Pokemon; also my opponent has Garbodor on the Bench and currently "Garbotoxin" is disabling all other Abilities. If I play Field Blower to discard the Pokemon Tool from Garbodor so "Garbotoxin" is no longer in effect, does my "Lazy" or my opponent's "Bide Barricade" go into effect first?: In this scenario Lazy activates first. If Abilities activate at the same time, Abilities of the player whose turn it is activate first; therefore, Slaking's Ability activates first, since it's the player with Slaking's turn.

If you move Metagross with the "Extend" Ability to your bench after playing Steven's Resolve, will your turn immediately end?: No, Extend only prevents your turn from ending as a result of playing Steven's Resolve, after which your turn simply continues as normal.

Can I use Wally or Evosoda on a Snorlax to search my deck, even though there is {currently} no evolution of Snorlax?: No, there has to at least be the possibility of a valid evolution in order to use this card. Sorry.

You cannot have more than 6 Pokemon in play, including Active and Benched Pokemon, unless the card specifically allows for it (e.g. Sky Field).

For Weavile's "Evil Admonition" attack, can I count Pokemon in the discard pile with Abilities too, or just the Pokemon in play on the field?: In this case the phrase "your opponent's Pokemon" refers to the Pokemon in play on the field, not to your opponent's Pokemon cards in the discard pile or elsewhere. Generally when referring to "your opponent's Pokemon" it means in play unless another specific game zone (like the Discard Pile) is mentioned; if they don't specify a zone, then "in play" is assumed.
