You seem to have found the key text yourself. Buzzap Thunder alone would not allow you to play Teammates - the timing does matter!

Please include a scan of the cards in question! :)

Please include scans of the cards in question :)

You're not bypassing Sleep or Paralysis, you're bypassing the effect of Sweet Sleeping Face. Sweet Sleeping Face places an effect on Mime Jr when it's Asleep. That effect is "prevent all damage done to Mime Jr by attacks." Zap Zone bypasses effects that reduce damage, including the effect...

Yes it would.

Lugia's Pressure puts a -20 damage effect on Moltres. This includes damage Moltres does to itself. It wouldn't take any recoil damage. As an aside, Pressure is one of the most misunderstood Abilities out there right now. People just shortcut a blanket "-20" without paying attention to where the...

I was looking at these images today at League and the same thing struck me. There's no reason for them to hide the Stage at this point if they were Basic Pokemon. Cosmog (and another Pokemon found in the data of the SM demo) appeared to be somehow related to these but I hadn't looked at these...

Please post pictures of the cards in question. While you're doing that, take a look at the text (not just what you remember) and let me know what you think :)

WC cards are fine at League, just not League Challenges or Cups.

World Championship cards are commemorative and not legal for sanctioned play. They have different backs, borders, and the deck owner's signature on the card. They do make perfect proxies for testing, though!

Abilities like that stack unless they tell you otherwise. It's the same as Deoxys-EX, Regirock-EX, etc.

Looks like a potential prerelease promo to me. Interesting Ability for sure.

That's considered public knowledge, so you have to tell them. Other things they are entitled to know are the contents of your discard pile and how many cards you have in your hand and deck. Ill-gotten one further and say there's no reason for them to need to ask because your field should be...

New basic Energy AND more of those great Poison markers. I'm sold :D

Yes. The only thing you can't currently do on the first turn of the game is attack.

There haven't been any League Cups yet this year. My understanding is that organizers are still waiting for information and the goal is to begin to sanction them in mid-late November, the first month of the second "quarter" of the season.

You do as much as you can. Pick a Pokemon, search for a replacement, and fail. The Pokemon in play stays put and Ninja Boy resolves. Note this is like failing Ultra Ball: the contents of your deck are unknown, so you can "choose" to fail even if there's a valid target that you don't want to...

You cannot. When in your hand, Strong Energy is just a Special Energy card that does not provide [F] until it's attached to a Pokemon.

Yes, you treat it as though it's exactly the same card.
