== HERO'S SPIRIT (Palafin ex - SV:Twilight Masquerade)

* Palafin ex's "Hero's Spirit" Ability is very literal. You can put it into play only with the effect of Palafin's "Zero to Hero"
Ability; you can't put it into play any other way. The only exception would be if something like Hex Maniac or Garbotoxin are
used, which remove Abilities of Pokemon that are in the hand.

== ZERO TO HERO (Palafin - SV:Twilight Masquerade)

Q. When I use Palafin's "Zero to Hero" Ability, do I shuffle both Palafin and the Basic Finizen cards into my deck, or just the
