Rainboy Energy Values

[D-puff]

I have this Raichu card. It's second attack states "You may discard all electric energy cards attached to Raichu. If you do, this attack does 80 damage." If you were to attach a double rainbow, would the double rainbow energy be considered an electric energy, or would you just need to discard the actual electric energies attached to the Raichu? Because if not, this would be an easy way to get out an easy 70 damage (-10 for the double rainbows repercussion) if I've got enough energy to back it up.

Double energy counts as 2 energy, whatever the energy requirement is on the pokemon is counted with the double rainbow unless you have like 3 more Electric energy.
Anyways the Double Rainbow counts so you must discard it.

Putting it simply: Yes, it counts.​
