   If the colors on this guy’s uniform were changed a little, he would kind of look like one of those CDA things from Monsters, Inc.

   “All ABILITIES stop working until the end of your oppoent’s next turn.”

   Then yes, it’d be damn good.

     It’s a fired TR agent.
     What is his story? I’ll leave that to someone else…

     It’s a single mother taking on extra work for her little boy. Answer your question?

   You know, I think i’d rather see ability lock come as an ability like Muk from the base era. Goop Gas Attack would be too powerful in a format with Junk arm; where abilities run most of our format. It’d just be a race to either set up trainer lock; or people would just go back to something like Yanmegazone with eels as a tech.

   An interesting one-of in Unlimited, if you’re not running a dedicated lock deck. Use it after executing your power/body payload, pretty much rendering your deck untouchable for the next turn.

   Some of you may have heard of a bizarre Goop Gas Attack ruling from Japan that goes like this: “The effect of Goop Gas Attack was previously interpreted as an effect on the field, but the official answer is that it nullifies the Pokémon Powers of the Pokémon in play when Goop Gas Attack is played. Therefore, as with Magby’s Sputter, the effect of Goop Gas Attack does not apply to Pokémon that are put into play (including by evolution or devolution) after the use of Goop Gas Attack.”

   Kabipapa claims this was an Official PCL Q&A response given on January 13, 2002. However, the Q&A page on pokemon-card.com, from what I can see, has only been archived as far back as 2005, and I haven’t found that particular ruling anywhere in the archive. I’ve been searching through magazines as well to no avail so far. If anyone is able to find the original PCL ruling, could you please reply to this comment? Thanks!
