Ruling Electrode SW vs Cessation Crystal

[Raichu/Leafeon]

I have a few questions about the following:
Electrode SW and Cessation Crystal

1. If myself or my opponent has a Cessation Crystal attached to their active Pokemon, and I have an Electrode that uses IOn Blast and knocks both Pokemon out. Would I still be able to use his POke-POwer Energy Shift and attach him as an energy to 1 of my Pokemon?

2. If Electrode is already attached to a Pokemon as an Energy and Cessation Crystal is on active Pokemon would Electrode be discarded as he is no longer able to use his Poke-Power that enables him to be treated as an energy?

3. This question has nothing that envolves Electrode nor Cessation Crystal.
If an Electivire (Secret Wonders, 25/132) has a Double Rainbow Energy (DRE) attached to him along with another basic electric energy that would allow him to use his Discharge attack, how many coins would I flip? (2 or 3)
Same goes with Scramble energy. (If I have more remaining prizes that would make it provide 3 energy of any type)

I would like to thank you in advance as you took the time to read this thread and answer my questions as best to the ability you are allowed.

Anyone?

1. Once the opponent's Pokémon is KO'd, the Crystal is discareded and loses effect. However, Electrode's power, I believe, is triggered to resolve after it hits the discard pile; the same time as the Crystal. So yeah, you can.

2. The Power has already resolved, you can't reverse it.

3. It says energy cards. So... two.

No. You resolve both KOs simultaneously after all other attack effects. Cessation Crystal remains in effect until both Electrode and the Defending Pokemon are removed from play. At that point, it's too late to activate Energy Shift. You have to be able to use it after receiving KO damage but before being removed from play.

2. If Electrode is already attached to a Pokemon as an Energy and Cessation Crystal is on active Pokemon would Electrode be discarded as he is no longer able to use his Poke-Power that enables him to be treated as an energy?

No. The Power is not required to maintain the effect, just to attach it in the first place. Once Electrode is attached as an Energy, it acts like any other Energy card.

3. This question has nothing that envolves Electrode nor Cessation Crystal.
If an Electivire (Secret Wonders, 25/132) has a Double Rainbow Energy (DRE) attached to him along with another basic electric energy that would allow him to use his Discharge attack, how many coins would I flip? (2 or 3)

You flip once for each Lightning Energy card. This is one of the cards that received errata:

Electivire's "Discharge" attack should say "for each Electric Energy CARD" rather than just "for each Electric Energy". (Nov 16, 2007 Pokemon Organized Play News)

And remember that if you're not behind on prizes, Scramble does not provide Lightning Energy, so it doesn't get you another flip and it doesn't get discarded.
