    Collecting How Do People Get Such Huge Binders?

    Moved this to News & Discussion out of Competitive Play since it really had nothing to do with competitive play.

    Ruling Multiple Exp. Share

    You can move one Basic Energy for ("to") each Exp. Share on the Bench whether they're on different Pokemon or the same one.

    Ruling Yvetal Breakthrough vs accelgor wobbuffet

    Wobbuffet becomes Active before the turn ends as part of the resolution of Deck and Cover. Fright Night turns off and Fighting Fury Belt is "on" before the turn ends so Yveltal has 170 HP going into the time between turns when Poison check happens.

    Ruling Mr. Mime's Benched Barrier ability effect.

    Bench damage does NOT go through, even if Mr. Mime is Knocked Out. The answer has to do with the "order of operations" of attacks. When resolving an attack, all damage is done and all effects take place BEFORE checking for Knock Outs. In effect, Mr. Mime is sitting there with enough damage to...

    Ruling Aerodactyl basic or evolve?

    It's not Basic or an Evolution Pokemon, it's a Restored Pokemon. Neither Flash Ray nor Crystal Ray would interact with its attacks.

    Ruling Questions about Buzzap Thunder

    By my read it wouldn't be discarded because, as you note, there's nothing on the card to indicate that it would be. This question was recently brought to the R&D team on the Professor Forums and we're waiting on an official response. Will definitely update here when I see anything!

    Event Ft Wayne Regionals 2016

    Oh well that's beautiful. I'd expect Ft. Wayne lists sometime early next week.

    Event Ft Wayne Regionals 2016

    They've been posting results for all the Regional Championships this year, but I've only found the pages when linked to them. I still have no idea how to find the results by navigating the site, which is a problem.

    Discussion Garbodor has arrived on PTCGO

    I'm confident that PTCGO doesn't care at all about what's in a player's deck when they pair you for a match. It makes no sense for them to deliberately pair some players against good matchups and others against bad matchups, or for them to favor Garbodor in particular. If there were an...

    Ruling Pressure

    Not a bug. Pressure reduces damage done by Golbat by 20 and Swoop Across only does 10. The reduction effect is on Golbat, not Lugia.

    Ruling Rayquaza evolving

    "If this card is attached to anything other than a [N] Pokemon, discard this card." Yes.

    Ruling how do you qualify for a play pokemon event

    State Championships don't exist this year. There is no requirement for Regionals other than paying the registration fee and showing up. Play! Points were used to qualify for Nationals, but currently have no role. They are "earned" by attending sanctioned events. Championship Points are used to...

    Ruling Foongus and Pokeball

    Yes. You'd have to take all of them, but it's a "do as much as you can" type of situation as with Super Rod, Sacred Ash, etc.

    P!P/Rules Judge Decisions

    This kind of penalty doesn't exist in Pokemon. If an illegal deck is discovered during a game it's a game loss, but something found after the fact won't alter results from earlier in the day.

    Ruling placement of evolutions?

    Evolution cards are played directly on top of Basics and lower Stages. There's no reason why a stack of three cards should fall over.

    Ruling Expert Belt Ruling

    That's not what Expert Belt says. This is a big part of why we ask for scans.

    P!P/Rules Judge Decisions

    Edited to remove the player's name. The DQ was completely justified in the situation you described.

    Fun My Only Complaint with TCG

    I think you have a very limited view of things that isn't supported by the competitive scene. You've missed a good number of competitive decks. In Standard, there's also Yveltal, Gyarados, Rainbow Road, Raichu/Bats, and maybe the best deck in the format right now in M Gardevoir-EX. In Expanded...

    Ruling What qualifies as a reprint?!?

    No reference cards anymore. If the text change is significant (e.g. Neo Genesis Super Rod, Team Rocket Rainbow Energy) you can't use the old card at all.
