Value for those is generally highest when they are new, and it may be a while before those are very sought after, increasing their value again.

Colress itself is likely to drop in value after its rotated from competitive play in 2-ish years due to it being very playable as a draw option right now.

Indeed. Cards are worth generally more value when they are allowed to be played in tournaments. Once they are out-rotated they generally lose their standard price.
When cards are first released and people are trying to acquire them during Pre-releases they can be worth more or less than the standard price until the meta game sorts itself out. For example some people may want to be the first to acquire a play set of full art Colress so they'll be valued higher than normal during a Pre-release. Some cards may be valued less due to 'lack of foresight.' This can happen due to a card that people wouldn't feel would see play and then it turns out to be really good, so the price increases and then standards out. Prices of cards are usually about supply and demand. If a card is very rare and everyone wants it, then it's price will naturally reflect that on the secondary market (eBay) and traders alike.

Yes you do. In order to use a required attack you need the energy cost in order to do so. Lv Xs allow you to have a stronger version of the "said Pokemon" but usually will a good ability and an extra attack. So you can use the attacks of both forms but MUST have the energy required.

oh thanks, now another question, this palkia's 'wormhole' attack makes me switch with one of my benched pokemon
then, my opponent switches with one of his own benched pokemon.

Even if i knock out the defending pokemon,do i still retreat?

No. Palkia Lv X is not an evolution form. You can use various other methods of getting the card such as Ultra ball, Pokemon Communication, Luxury Ball etc.

if a pokemon is paralyzed, does that mean i can't use SWITCH to switch it with one of my benched pokemon?


You can switch, and that will cure it of paralyze. Works great if you switch with a Pokemon that has no retreat cost...
