When Ditto's "Copy a friend" chose Blastoise's "Hydro Pimp" with 3 Water Energy, can't increase 60 damage.

but if Mew EX copy "Hydro Pimp" with 3 other Enegy and 2 Water Energy, it will increase 60 damage.

Why?

    Ditto's "Copy a Friend" attack forces you to match the energy requirements, regardless of the 1 colorless it claims to use. Therefore, it needs to have at least 3 Water energy to attack, and at least 5 to trigger the extra damage.

    Mew Ex, on the other hand, explicitly ignores the energy requirements so long as it has the 3 energy. This lets it use the move with the 3 "other" energy, and then have the 2 spare Water energy to boost the damage.
