Quick Questions Thread! [OLD]

The rules I have don't mention anything about this, and I couldn't find any answer from Googling it. Had it happen recently, and wasn't sure what to do.

When you KO a Pokémon in a way other than with an attack, (like poisoned or burned damage between turns) do you still get to take a prize card?
Also, what about if your opponent's Pokémon KOs itself? Like when it's confused?

Yes, unless specified otherwise you always take a prize for a knockout

In all of those scenarios, you take a prize card, as the Pokemon has been KO'd. It's not covered in the rules because a KO is a KO as far as taking prizes is concerned. The only thing that prevents it is if there's an ability or effect that reduces the number of prizes taken when you KO a Pokemon.

A case where you wouldn't is if an effect of a card or attack effect puts a Pokemon directly into their discard or their hand as part of the effect.
