Deck invalid due to selected energy

With the new Dawn supporter card allowing you to move energy between Pokemon, I wanted to try a Dragonite and Magneton deck.

The idea being I could use Magneton's 'Volt Charge' ability to generate Lightning energy which could be moved onto Dragonite.

Being a long-time Dragonite player, I have lost a handful of games through bad energy generation luck. I saw an opportunity to avoid it here by Magneton creating the Lightning energy and therefore I could generate only water energy in the energy zone.

However, when trying to save the deck it gives me an invalid warning as just water energy isn't enough to power the Magneton or Dragonites attack.

    Yes, that’s how it is. It's because this deck building rule: "Has Energy selected that allows one or more Pokémon to use their attacks".

    If you want to use only water type energy in your deck you have to add at least one Pokemon that can attack with only water or colorless energy.
