    Standardized testing: What do you think?

    I think they are a great way for your school/the state to find out what you know and that they should keep using them! *gets shot* Seriously though, they aren't that bad. The timing is really dumb, but they need to give everyone enough time. Some people don't work as fast as others. Take...

    Ruling Misunderstandings and Mistakes.

    I have no idea who even moved this here... Well anyway. If you go second you can use Rare Candy to evolve on your first turn. If you go second you cannot evolve by normal methods, you may only evolve using Rare Candy or some other effect that specifically tells you to break the evolution...

    Ruling UXIE AND GENGAR POWER HELP

    /me wonders why people feel the need to do this... :/ SUB - ZERO, again, the question has been answered. No one mentioned Starmie, so why bring it up? Don't repeat answers or post anything about something that was not requested. *Lock... again*

    Ruling Quick catch-up with Roseanne's

    SUB - ZERO, Celebi23 already said the same thing you just said. Sure he didn't go and explain each option, but it wasn't necessary. Unless you have something legitimate to add, don't post. *Lock*

    Ruling More Unown G madness!

    Unoen G prevents effects of attacks. Poison Structure is a PokePower, not an attack. So being poisoned by Poison Structure is not prevented. It blocks effects of attacks, excluding damage. Since the extra damage from Deep Poison is just that, damage, it is not prevented.

    Ruling SP energy

    This is, yet again, a case of a card that has not been released yet. Spoilers are never 100% correct. Bangiras is generally very good with translating the cards, but I would assume this is a case of leaving out a small piece. Think about it, by just attaching one Energy to an SP Pokemon you...

    Ruling Started the game about a month ago, tried taking the professor test

    You may not have it in your hands, but generally someone can pull up the Compendium on a computer. Also, a TO wouldn't let someone judge a tournament if they don't know what they're doing. If a judge can't recall a simple ruling without the help of the Compendium they shouldn't be judging...

    Refresh is obvious, navigate away would be, I assume, go to a different page within that same window. As in, going from the URL for the Professor Test to some other URL. I don't really see how it would be able to tell if you switch windows or tabs, so yeah...

    Ruling Started the game about a month ago, tried taking the professor test

    Uh... no? Some of those questions can't really be answered without knowing the Compendium or other rules document like the back of your hand, or having them open while taking the test. There were a few that I could have probably gotten right had I had resources open, but meh, my computer was...

    Ruling Started the game about a month ago, tried taking the professor test

    While taking the Professor Test you are allowed to have any resource you wish open. Basically, it's a test of how well you can use the Compendium or other rules document. Unless you have someone take your Professor Test for you, you can't really be cheating. :P

    Ruling Old Energy Cards

    You can still use the old ones, you just need a reference/Card-Dex entry in order to use them in a tournament.

    Ruling Lv. X

    Uh, mind finding the ruling for us? Because the rule is, and has been, that you cannot normally Level Up a Pokemon on the turn you play it. No exceptions. Level Max breaks this rule, but since the card is telling you to break the rules, you may do what it says.

    Ruling Altaria PT

    Pokekid Brandon is pretty much right. The Unown G prevents you from affecting the defending Pokemon, and the resistance makes it that you dealt no damage. So none of Perish Songs prerequisites have been met, therefore you cannot KO them. Also, if you DO affect/damage them, then they put an...

    Ruling Machamp - Take Out

    Basically, Machamp checks to see if the Defending is Evolved or not first. If it is not Evolved it does the auto KO effect. If it is Evolved, it ignores the auto KO effect and just deals damage. Unown G prevents effects of attacks, but Machamp is not using an effect of an attack when it is...

    Ruling Lv. X

    Every Lv. X says on the card, "Put this card onto the active..." Active, meaning you can only Level Up normally while it is active.

    Ruling Giratina Lv.X vs. Dusknoir Lv.X

    What can you say? It happens, when something like this is asked, and there will obviouly be a Compendium ruling on it, the answer can never be 100% certain. I was just giving my interpretation of how it would be ruled, I was wrong. Let this be a lesson to all, if it has not been officialy...

    Ruling BTET question.

    I'm assuming that you live in England. A set only becomes legal for tournament play once it is officially released in your region. Since Bonds is not out in your region, (Or so I assume.) you cannot use it in tournaments.
