Decidueye issue removing energy
I was playing the Decidueye deck and when I attacked and choose a Team Rocket energy attached to a Team Rocket's pokemon… it gave me a wired prompt about extra energy which I didn't fully grasp but I selected to discard that energy and it flashed like it tried but didn't remove it. Like it removed the 2nd 'free' energy that card provided as it was attached to a Team Rocket's pokemon so it fulfilled the req . There was also 2 green energy on the same pokemon.
But then later in the game, they only had a team rocket's energy on a team rocket's pokemon so the game doesn't prompt me to choose which energy to discard , and it flashed the energy on card like it tried to remove it but again the same behavior and didn't remove it either.
I'm guessing this is an issue ? But wanted to find out if I missed something.

And to clarify , I'm talking about the Decidueye Ex card as my attacker.

Did your opponent have team rocket's articuno in play? that would protect mewtwo, or any other basic rocket mon, from the discard.
Yes, it asks you to discard an energy even though it won't actually get discarded. That's just how it works, technically.

Thanks! I don't recall, but I'll definitely watch for that again and see. Too bad there isn't a mock bench for testing effects and combos.
