The Jungle Sets Question and Answers - Pokemon - http://maxpages.com/mewsfarm/Jungle

Q: What is this Pokémon: Jungle thing, anyway? How are these different
from the other Pokémon trading card game cards?
A: To keep the Pokémon trading card game fresh and exciting, Wizards of
the Coast will release new and different Pokémon cards every few months.
The new cards are sometimes called an "expansion" because they expand
the possibilities for the game. The Jungle card set is the first
expansion for Pokémon. The original set of 102 cards is sometimes called
the "base set."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can I still use my old Pokémon cards?
A: Yes, absolutely! You can play with any of your Pokémon cards. You can
play with decks that have nothing but Jungle cards, although you'll
still need to use Energy cards from the base set. Or you can use a mix
of Jungle cards and the base set cards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What does the Jungle expansion have in it?
A: There are 45 new Pokémon, such as Meowth, Butterfree, and Eevee. You
will also find one new Trainer card and two new versions of Pokémon that
appeared in the base set (Pikachu and Electrode).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: That's only 48 cards, but I heard the set has 64 cards in it. What's
up?
A: The 16 rare Pokémon appear in both holographic and non-holographic
versions. We gave different collector numbers to the different versions.
For example, holo Clefable is card number 1/64 and non-holo Clefable is
card number 17/64. So that makes 64 cards if you go by the collector
numbers in the lower right corner of the card.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: A friend of mine has a holographic Jungle card. I got that same card
when I opened a pack, but it wasn't a holographic card. Is something
wrong?
A: No, it's okay. See the previous question for the reason why.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Do the holographic and non-holographic versions have different
powers?
A: No. If a card appears in a holographic version and a non-holographic
version, those two versions are exactly alike except for the foil and
the different collector number.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Now that there is a base set Pikachu and a Jungle Pikachu, can I put
eight Pikachu in my deck?
A: Sorry, but no. You can have only four cards with the same name in
your deck. It doesn't matter what else is on the card. So you could have
three Jungle Pikachu and one base set Pikachu in your deck, but no more
than four cards that have the name "Pikachu."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I bought a Jungle theme deck, and it has cards in it that aren't from
Jungle. Why is that?
A: That's normal. There aren't enough cards in the Jungle expansion to
make a deck just using Jungle cards. For example, there are no Energy
cards in Jungle. So we added some base set cards, too. If you want only
Jungle cards, you should buy Jungle boosters. They contain nothing but
Jungle cards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions about Specific Cards
Q: I have two different cards that both say "Evolves from Eevee." Is
that a mistake?
A: No, Eevee is a special Pokémon. There are three different Pokémon
that Eevee can evolve into: Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon. If you have
Eevee on the table and all three of these cards in your hand, you can
evolve Eevee into whichever one of them you want!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How does Venomoth's Pokémon Power: Shift work?
A: Venomoth starts out as a Grass Pokémon, but Shift changes Venomoth's
type to whatever type you want. For example, you could change Venomoth's
type to Fire, Fighting, or another type. This doesn't change anything
else about Venomoth, like its attack costs or its Weakness or
Resistance. But if your opponent's Pokémon has a Weakness to Fire, for
example, you might use Shift to change Venomoth's type to Fire.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Does the Jungle Pikachu's Spark attack do damage to both the
Defending Pokémon and a Pokémon on the Bench, or just one or the other?
A: The Spark attack damages both. In general, you do the attack damage
and you follow any special instructions on the card. If the attack
damage has a special symbol next to it, you just do what the attack text
says.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: If I attack with Venonat's Leech Life and do 10 damage, how many
damage counters do I remove from Venonat?
A: You remove one damage counter, which equals 10 damage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can you give me an example of how Butterfree's Mega Drain works?
A: Sure. I'll give you two. If you attack with Mega Drain and do 40
damage, you can remove two damage counters from Butterfree. But if you
attach a Plus Power to Butterfree first, Mega Drain will do 50 damage.
You then get to remove three damage counters from Butterfree. Why three
counters? Because half of 50 is 25, which you round up to 30.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I use Mankey's Pokémon Power: Peek to look at one of my Prize cards.
Then I play Scoop Up on Mankey, and I play it again. Can I use Peek
again?
A: Yes, you can. If a Pokémon leaves play, it loses all memory of what
might have happened to it before.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: If Eevee successfully uses Tail Wag (which says "the Defending
Pokémon can't attack Eevee during your opponent's next turn") against
Kangaskhan, will that stop Kangaskhan from using Fetch ("Draw a card")?
A: Yes, Tail Wag prevents Fetch. Any attack the Active Pokémon makes
(and Fetch is an attack, even though it doesn't do any damage; anything
written underneath the Pokémon's picture where attacks are is an attack
unless it's a Pokémon Power) is an attack against the Defending Pokémon.
