    Ruling Cards that do not say "up to"...

    Some search, draw, and retrieval cards have the phrasing "up to," which let you perform an action up to a given amount. Collector is a good example of a card with this phrasing, as you can search your deck for 1, 2, 3, or even 0 basic Pokemon with it's effect. On the other hand, cards like...

    Ruling Flare Destroy's effect

    I understand that when attacking with Typhlosion Prime's attack "Flare Destroy," you MUST discard 1 energy card from Typhlosion and 1 from the defending Pokemon since the effect text does not say "you may." However, the effect text also says "and," as in you must discard from both Typhlosion AND...

    Ruling Rescue Energy and Legends

    I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed, but I can't seem to find a ruling on this. If I have a Rescue Energy attached to a 2-piece Legend pokemon (let's say, Palkia & Dialga Legend) and it is knocked-out by an attack, do both Legend pieces go to my hand? I would assume...

    Ruling Pokemon Reversal pt. 2

    I don't know why, but I can't reply to my last thread... :( I asked if you can play Pokemon Reversal if your opponent has no benched Pokemon and if you can play a card if you have no target for the effect. The answer I received was 'No.' To follow that up, can you activate an effect, like...

    Ruling Pokemon Reversal

    Can you play Pokemon Reversal if your opponent has no benched Pokemon? On a related note, can you play a card if you have no target for the effect? Thanks.

    Only 5 Primes per box of Unleashed?

    I saw a couple of box openings of Unleashed on YouTube and I was disturbed to see that most boxes contained only 5 OR LESS Primes! From what I know, HGSS had an average of 6 Primes per box. To make matters worse, it seems like Unleashed still gives you roughly 3 Legends per box, meaning they...

    Unleashed theme decks???

    Hey. Does anyone know the complete card lists for the two Unleashed theme decks: Steel Sentinel and Chaos Control? Any information about the energies and trainers/supporters would be useful, too. Thanks in advance!

    Ruling Zapdos MD question

    Zapdos's attack says it does 40 damage to one of your pokemon. First of all, do you get to choose which one of your pokemon takes the damage? If so, would it be possible to play an old amber on the bench, direct the 40 damage to the old amber and then have it negated because of old amber's...

    Ruling GE Swampert's PP

    Can GE Swampert's poke power move scramble energies? The power reads: "...you may move a Water or Fighting Energy attached to 1 of your benched pokemon to your Active Pokemon." It says nothing about basic energy, so I'm assuming you can move activated scrambles, correct? Thanks.

    Ruling Blaziken GE

    Can GE Blaziken's first attack scoop up special energies from the discard pile such as double rainbow, multi, and scramble (if scramble is activated, of course)? The attack reads: "Search your discard pile for a fire energy card and attach it to 1 of your pokemon." Double rainbow says it...

    Why is Tangrowth so good?

    Tangrowth is a diabolically broken card when paired with Sceptile. Why has no one noticed this? Without Sceptile, it's still very good: for 4 energies, do a solid 60 AND remove 3 damage counters AND prevent retreating...every turn. Pair that with leftovers and you're removing 40 damage each...

    Ruling Question about Plus Power

    So let's say, for example, Empoleon has a Plus Power attached to it and uses Ice Blade on one of the opponent's benched pokemon. Does Ice Blade do an additional 10 damage to the active pokemon or does it just to 40 to one bench. The card reads if the pokemon its attached to attacks (Ice Blade...

    Ruling Question about Holon Energy WP

    The card reads "prevent all effects of attacks, excluding damage, done to that pokemon." What does it mean by 'effects of attacks'? Does it include status effects? coin flips? extra damage under certain conditions? (ex: Venusaur's Green Blast attack) bench damage? (Aqua Shower) Thanks for...
