Ditto question of the week:

aww no ditto questions.

 

Okay, Whats up with the ruling on Card E Blastoise, has an official ruling been made on wether the flip on his poke power is to discard an energy off of toise, or just to use the power?
master_trainer_mike says, "That is still being looked into."
master_trainer_mike says, "hooooooo"

 

I I use Expedition Venusaur's Power to attach both a Rainbow Energy and a Metal Energy to my Active PokÈmon, will it take 10 damage (as I think it will)?
master_trainer_pat says, "When the Power says 'at the same time' it doesn't mean that you place the cards on at exactly the same time, you do place them on one at a time, you just can't split this throught your turn. If you place the MEtal on first, you can then place on the Rainbow energy without V. taking damage from it."

 

Just to clarify one of the recent Rules Team rulings, if I play "Blaine" in conjunction with Expedition Venusaur's "Harvest Bounty" power, how many energy cards do I get to attach: 2, 3, or 4?
master_trainer_mike says, "2, both Blaine and the Venusaur's POwer effectivley do the same replcement effect. They are NOT cumulative."

 

If I attach both both a Lightning energy and a Water energy to my Eevee using Expedition Venusaur's power , do I get to seach for either a water or lightning Eeveelution, and must I declare which before searching?
master_trainer_mike says, "Same asnwer as Pat made, you are actually attaching these cards in an order, just doing them both at the same point in your turn."
master_trainer_mike says, "So, depends on which one you attach first, that would be the energy type you could flip for first. If you flipped tails, then you could flip for the second energy you attached ands search for its type (if heads)."

 

Wait, if the cards are attached to Neo2 Eevee(using venusars power) in a specific order, would that aloow you to trigger the power twice?
master_trainer_mike says, "You would have to check after each energy is attached. If the first coin flip ends up heads, then you would be attaching the second energy to the now evolved Eeveelution and would not trigger the power again."

 

re: Q 420: do I get two flips for Energy Evolution if I attach 2 energy cards to Eevee using Venusaur's Harvest Bounty?
master_trainer_pat says, "Yes, if the first try failed."
master_trainer_pat says, "You would have to make the first flip immediately after attaching the first Energy card to Eevee."

 

If I attach two energy cards to my Active PokÈmon using Harvest Bounty, and my opponent has a Dark Ampharos in play, does that PokÈmon take 20 damage? If so, what about using the Blaine trainer or Blastoise's Raindance?
master_trainer_pat says, "Yes to all." 

 

As far as supporters go, when you play one it tells you to lay it next to your active, first, does it stay attached to that active you put it on, or does it come back when they're benched, 2nd, Can you play down a supporter, and use the effect for later in your turn, like laying one down, elming and then using it, or does the card go into effect immediatly?
master_trainer_pat says, "The Supporter is not actually attached to your active Pokemon. It's just used as a marker to show that you have already played a supporter that turn."
master_trainer_pat says, "You use the Supporter when you play it."

 

Okay, Seeing as supporters stay in play when you play them, If my opponent plays Sabrina's Psychic Control, He/She couldnt choose a supporter?
master_trainer_pat says, "They couldn't use SPC on a Supporter."

 

Re Q430: Why could you not use Sabrina's Psychic Control after playing a Supporter card?
darkmt_mike says, ""Munch""
master_trainer_pat says, "That's not the question Chrisbo. You can't use SPC to pull a Supporter out of your opponent's discard pile because the Supporter would have to be put in play."

 

Is the reason you have to attach a Supporter to a Pokemon to make sure you don't forget you played one already?
master_trainer_pat says, "You don't actually attach a Supporter to a Pokemon. You merely lay it down next to the Active Pokemon so you don't forget that you played one that turn."

 

You have a Brock's Ninetales with several Evolution cards attached, the most recent of which is Kingdra (revelation). What attacks could you access via Genetic Memory? Just Vulpix (since Ninetales' power does not count as evolving, so Kingdra is now t
darkmt_mike says, ""Punt""
master_trainer_mike says, "You could NOT choose any atacks on any of the other cards in your example. Genetic Memory ONLY lets you use attacks from Kingdra's basic or evolution cards and there aren't any of these in this example."

 

With Expedition Vileplume, if you flip all tails, is it still confused?
master_trainer_mike says, "Yup."
master_trainer_pat shakes her/his head.

 

Hey DMTM, what is your opinion about the new Gengar being weak to Darkness? (Chrisbo prepares to duck any Maple Bars hurled in his direction).
master_trainer_pat nods solemnly.
master_trainer_mike says, "We always knew Gengar was a fraidy ghost........"
darkmt_mike says, "Neither of us are very happy. Gengar is in mourning."
master_trainer_pat says, "I even think that's lame!"
