- While you control "Fortune Lady Dark" and another "Fortune Lady" monster, if the other "Fortune Lady" monster attacks a face-down "Desertapir" and the attacking "Fortune Lady" monster is flipped face-down, then the effect of "Fortune Lady Dark" will not activate. Also, if "Fortune Lady Dark" is no longer face-up on the field - such as if "Desertapir" flipped "Fortune Lady Dark" face-down instead - then you cannot activate its effect.[1]
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- You cannot select any "Desertapir" with "Desertapir's" effect.
- If you have "Destruction Punch" and "Desertapir" is attacked by a monster with ATK lower than "Desertapir's" effect, and "Desertapir's" effect flips the attacking monster face-down, the effect of "Destruction Punch" is applied and the attacking monster is destroyed.
- If "Mystical Knight of Jackal" or "Ghost Knight of Jackal" attacks, and is flipped face-down by "Desertapir", the attacking monster is no longer face-up when "Desertapir" is sent to the Graveyard (which is when their effects activate), so their effects do not apply to "Desertapir".
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Grave Protector: When there is a face-up "Grave Protector" on the field and a face-down "Desertapir" is attacked, and "Desertapir's" Flip Effect flips "Grave Protector" face-down, the "Desertapir" is sent to the Graveyard at the end of the Damage Step instead of to the Deck.
