Suppose my active Pokémon was hit with a move that managed to KO it only because a status condition was applied during the in between turn. Would my opponent take a prize card in that case?Also, if you used a move, trainer card, ability, or had a self-applied condition that KO’ed your active Pokémon, would the opponent be able to draw a prize card? Why or why not?Thanks in advance!

To kill two birds with one stone, the answer to both of your questions isyes.
A Pokemon is considered Knocked Out if it has damage counters on it equal to or greater than its hp. It makes no difference whether the final damage was from an attack, a Special Condition, ability, or a Trainer card (such as Damage Mover), even if the damage was from yourself.
Well, as it says in the Pokemon TCG Rulings Compendium:
It doesn’t matter who Knocked Out the Pokemon or how it was done – if a Pokemon is Knocked Out, the opposing player always gets a prize card.
