The ruling on Koraidon is slightly different to what was said: Basically if any other ancient pokemon used an attack last turn it gets the boost. Not the card itself but any other ancient pokemon on bench including koraidons if they attacked next turn then it'd be fine
I jumped straight down here to say the same thing. But I thought of a different scenario. The card doesn't specify other Ancient Pokemon IN PLAY, so I've been using this after my Gouging Fire or other Koraidon is knocked out. That sounds like the proper ruling to me, right?
@@Sparkfull wow this is a great add on to the gouging fire deck better than the other koriadon that does damage per ancient in play and it pairs well with how gouging fire has to switch to attack again
Togekiss with Froslass can be very cheeky… Take a KO by battle, opponent flubs and sends up a Pokémon that will be knocked out by Froslass… Or Iron Valiant ex, or Munkidori…
Is it possible the koriadon FAQ is wrong? I keep reading it and it looks like you need to use a different card other than that koriadon to attack before this attack activates. Can you please clarify?
Yeah, I think he misspoke in the video. By "other ancient pokemon" it means ANY pokemon card (with 'ancient' on it) that is not THIS card. So you could have two of the Surging Sparks Koraidon and swap between them, but not attack with the same card twice
The "may" in the ability is more refering to the choice of using the ability. Putting a card to the bottom of the deck to draw is the requirement to be able to draw. Therefore if you were to choose to put a card to the bottom of the deck, you have decided to use the ability and you would draw the cards. If you can't draw cards with the ability, you can't opt in to using the ability, since that is the actual effect and putting a card to the bottom is more like a "cost" (even tho it can be beneficial).
@NeoDoomBot no it doesn't. It's ability says it can attack twice of festival grounds is in play. Doesn't have to get a KO. Just says the opp must pick a new active if one does get KOed.
Pikachu's ability is pretty much a survival brace, only way to go through it in one turn is either through poison, burn, dipplin or stadium/object ignoring the ability/tool
I did not think we were going to get that card- Tyme. I saw the reveal for it so many months ago . I didn't think we were ever going to get the card.. Because it sounds fun . I would definitely play this card in some kind of Deck with multiple different hp's. With as many different Pokemon as I can. It's a build around. For sure . sure.. it's only 4 cards you draw. If you can win.
Use it in a mill deck to guarantee that your opponent will want to lose. So u benefit from either outcome, they draw 4, they get closer to decking out, u draw 4 u get 4 cards!
What about the Armarouge attack with the removal of fire energy while you are using reversal energy? Do you discard the reversal? Or a luminous for that matter?
nope, you'd not have the ability to discard a fire energy so you wouldn't have to discard anything else. Think of it as being a consequence of the attack, not a requirement to do the attack
They would get discarded. Rainbow-like energy always provide all colors while attached so they count as fire energy cards. If the attack has said "Basic fire energy cards", then they wouldn't get discarded
I lost a tourney due to the judge ruling you can use qwuaks ability when he had six cards in hand and also had no deck, now that I know the ruling for the first half would the second work can use use qwuaks ability if say you had 4 cards in hand and no cards in deck?
And why do some of these rulings seem so obvious. Like if I was looking at these mid match I would know what was correct not cause of the faq but because they are obvious
We put some basic rulings in the Prerelease FAQ because there are a lot of new players (and judges) at Prereleases and they are the ones that those rulings are for.
My biggest bummer at pre-release was Quaquaval ruling with rabsca. It seems like a combo made specifically for pre-release but it doesn’t work. Like why put the two together in a kit at all? Especially while Gouging Fire was in prerelease
Should be possible. Once during your turn, when you play a Pokémon from your hand to evolve I of your other Eevee, you may search your deck for a card that evolves from this Pokémon and put it onto this Pokémon to evolve it. Then, shuffle your deck. Seems to check all the boxes.
From the Rule Book: "If a card uses the phrase “up to X”-for example, “move up to 3 damage counters” or “attach up to 2 Energy cards”-you can choose any number between 1 and X. (The exception is drawing cards: you can choose 0 for an effect that says “draw up to X cards.”) If a card uses the phrase “any amount” or “any number”-for example, “discard any amount of Energy from this Pokémon”-you can choose 0. And things that say “you may” are optional, meaning you can choose not to do them."
Togekiss says refers to opponents "active" pokemon so surely if you take multiple prizes you only get one chance, not multiple, since the other prizes are presumably from the bench and not from the active?
I do not like that ruling, I think it's wrong. Because if it was just for 1 energy of every type why not just say search you deck for 1 basic energy of ever type. Not search your deck for any number???
@ No, the words just don’t mean what the ruling says. If TPCI wants it to align with the ruling, they should print the cards with the correct wording. It will cause loads of confusion in in-person gameplay otherwise.
@@TheWalkingLivingOK. I agree that there might have been better wording. But it is the wording that has been printed and, unlike MtG, Pokemon does not rule "play as printed" if the text is either misprinted or ambiguous. That's why the have rulings. And that's why that ruling is in the FAQ and will be in the Compendium as the set becomes legal for tournament play. Agree or not, that's the way this card will be ruled by judges.
@ I’m not an MtG player, but I figure the card text should mean what it says. If it meant what the ruling is, it should say ‘up to one of each different type of basic energy in your deck’ not ‘any number of basic energy cards of different types’. But alas, if this is the ruling, this is the ruling. Just frustrating that plain reading of a card is apparently wrong.
I feel like your misinterpreting some of the ace spec. Brilliant blender for example. the key word is "up to 5", 0 is a valid number in the up to 5 part. it is giving you a choice. Shuffle your deck afterwards is an effect of the card as well. so technically you should be able to chose 0 , then shuffle your deck as the effect of the card. Another scenario to prove my point. someone uses super rod and puts a basic pokemon with 70 hp back into the deck and they play buddy buddy puffin from thier hand and they have 1 open slot on the bench. they can then say failed search knowing that we both know theres a pokemon in the deck with 70hp and buddy buddy puffin says up to 2 pokemon onto the bench with 70hp or less. he then uses an ultra ball then then 2 more cards form the hand and says failed search agian knowing we both know he has a pokemon in his deck he can pull with the ultra ball. he used all 3 cards to lower his hand for bibarel below 5 to draw cards by your definition of must choose at least one. that player who used buddy buddy puffin and ultra ball should have a judged called on him.
That's different. Blender has you choose "cards". ANY cards. The game knows you have cards in your deck. That's public knowledge. Buddy Buddy has you choose "Basic Pokemon". The game doesn't know what specific cards you have in your deck, even though you literally just put a Basic back into it.

I agree. He would need a second Koraidon to switch into in order to use that attack.
Yeah I think he skipped over the “other” in his initial review of the card as well

@ okay thank you. I thought so.
why can't you put a card from your hand to bottom for quawk's ability since it says you "may" draw until you have 5?
The "may" in the ability is more refering to the choice of using the ability. Putting a card to the bottom of the deck to draw is the requirement to be able to draw.

Can tera pikachu be K.O by dipplin? The one that attacks twice
Yup. If it attacks twice, it can ko pika
It only attacks twice if it knocks out with the first attack
@NeoDoomBot no it doesn't. It's ability says it can attack twice of festival grounds is in play. Doesn't have to get a KO. Just says the opp must pick a new active if one does get KOed.
Yup. Effects, multiple strikes, or ability breaking attacks can kill pika
Pikachu's ability is pretty much a survival brace, only way to go through it in one turn is either through poison, burn, dipplin or stadium/object ignoring the ability/tool
NGL I got a judge call bc the ruling for koraidon was off. It's for other pokemon not itself.

does the Togekiss ability (wonder kiss) also works with Iron Hands?
It works with everything except Dolls which say "your opponent takes no prizes"
That Gouging Fire was an absolute beast at prerelease 😅

Ideally that’s how they’d all be but translation and wording is not as it should always be
but some arnt though. like brilliant blender it says up to 5, so in most tcg games 0 would be a choice you could make.

I think i know the answer, but if you evolve the boosted evolution eevee on T1, would that proc the resonant evolution eevee, even though its T1?
Should be possible.
Once during your turn, when you play a Pokémon from your hand to evolve I of your other Eevee, you may search your deck for a card that evolves from this Pokémon and put it onto this Pokémon to evolve it. Then, shuffle your deck.
Seems to check all the boxes.
I think you have the ruling on koraidon wrong. It says in the attack “other ancient Pokémon.” Or the translation is wrong
He read the FAQ wrong. It can't be the same Koraidon
I need an faq for the ex generations decks. Cause I need to know how they will rule liligant with dual type ability scovillain
I doubt it double counts
Only counts for 1 boost, not 2.
So the "up to x cards" in pokemon is different from magic the gathering. Up to x cards means between 1 and x cards in pokemon?
From the Rule Book:
"If a card uses the phrase “up to X”-for example, “move up to 3 damage counters” or “attach up to 2 Energy cards”-you can choose any number
between 1 and X. (The exception is drawing cards: you can choose 0 for an effect that says “draw up to X cards.”) If a card uses the phrase
“any amount” or “any number”-for example, “discard any amount of Energy from this Pokémon”-you can choose 0. And things that say

@@pokepop4163 i see. thanks! kinda new to PTCG.
So togikiss plus dipplin plus festival lead ability??? So u ko 2 of their pokemon do u flip coin 2x??
You flip a coin as soon as the active is knocked out, knock out the new active and flip another.
Cant beats can, my rule for almost every card game.
Togekiss says refers to opponents "active" pokemon so surely if you take multiple prizes you only get one chance, not multiple, since the other prizes are presumably from the bench and not from the active?
If you KO the active by KOing your own Dusknoir, then you can still KO the new active with an attack

"Any number of energy"
Nooooo only one of each

Does mist energy prevent walrins attack effect
what is the walking attack effect
@mralkholik9957 my bad autocorrected walrin into walking haha
It can be prevented based on the wording
I feel like most of these ruling are pretty obvious to the higher up players
Sorry mate, Tauros doesn't do extra damage, it returns energies to the hand heh.
I think he mean Fire Tauros
Why is the wording of Quaquaval’s ability sound like it’s optional to draw up to 5 cards? It states you may draw not just draw up to 5 cards.
"You may" use the Ability or not. If you choose not to use the Ability, you don't pay the cost (putting a card on the bottom of the deck)
I don’t understand the ruling on Energy Search Pro (16:28). If the ruling is correct, then the card’s wording is absolutely wrong (and vice versa).
I wouldn't say it's wrong. Rather, it was ambiguous. Hence why we did the ruling
