Abilities

Conductivity

Whenever your opponent attaches an Energy card from his or her hand to a Pokémon, this power does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) This power stops working if you have more than 1 Dark Ampharos in play or while Dark Ampharos is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Discard all Lightning Energy cards attached to Dark Ampharos or this attack does nothing.

Its brightly lit tail can be seen for miles in the dark, even by ships on the sea.

If Pachirisu's "Self-Generation" Poke-POWER is used to attach two Lightning Energy to Pachirisu, and the opponent has 4 Ampharos Primes with "Conductivity" in play, what is the result?

Pachirisu would be have 8 damage counters placed on it due to Conductivity.

If I have Quagsire and my opponent has Ampharos-EX in play and I attach an energy card to my Quagsire from my hand, which Poke-POWER gets applied first, Saturation or Conductivity?

Conductivity and Saturation happen at the same time, so the player attaching energy would get to decide which effect to apply first.

Would Flygon's "Energy Shower" attack set off Ampharos-EX's "Conductivity" power? Like if I set down 6 energy, it would do 60 Damage (however I set down the energy)? And if yes, would the damage be done to Flygon or to each separate Pokemon. that I attach an energy to?

Yes, Flygon would indeed trigger Ampharos-EX's Conductivity; it also works the same way for Azumarill's "Drizzle" attack. And the damage would be done to each individual Pokemon that gets an energy attached to it.
