- If I use Eelektrik's "Small Appetite" attack against a Pokemon with 90 HP but it has the "Bodybuilding Dumbbells" Pokemon Tool attached, do I do 50 damage or 0?
- You do 0 damage. The HP from Bodybuilding Dumbbells counts toward the Pokemon's maximum HP, putting it out of range of the Small Appetite attack.

- If I move Wimpod to the Active position and then evolve it into Golisopod GX, would I get the bonus damage from "First Impression"?

- If my opponent used Turtonator GX's "Shell Trap" attack and I have Magearna EX with the "Mystic Heart" Ability in play, will my Pokemon with Metal energy attached get the 8 damage counters from "Shell Trap" if I attack and do damage to Turtonator GX?
- No, it will not receive the 8 damage counters. Mystic Heart prevents all effects of your opponent's attacks, and Shell Trap's damage counters are an effect of your opponent's attack.

- Does Seviper's "More Poison" Ability stack if I have more than one of them in play?
