Attacks that do more damage for each energy card discarded from a Pokemon.

The game currently interprets this as 'each energy' discarded. Ice Rider Calyrex VMax can discard a triple acceleration energy and double colorless energy to incorrectly do 610 damage.

This bug also allows Rapid Strike Starmie to discard a rapid strike energy card as 2 water energy.

    Well, sn't it what is supposed to be? The energy counts for two energy. That makes sense it counts for two for these attacks too

    Read the attacks again. They specify that damage is determined by the number of cards discarded, not the number of energy those cards provide.

    Max Lance : 10+. You may discard up to 2 Energy from this Pokémon. If you do, this attack does 120 more damage for each card you discarded in this way.

    G-Max Whisk : 60x. Discard any amount of Energy from your Pokémon. This attack does 60 damage for each card you discarded in this way.

    Multishot Star. Discard any amount of {W} Energy from this Pokémon. Then, for each Energy card you discarded in this way, choose 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon and do 30 damage to it. (You can choose the same Pokémon more than once.) This damage isn’t affected by Weakness or Resistance.

    Here is another bug problem about Ice Rider Calyrex.

    It won't let me choose to discard energies when attacking causing it to freeze.
