Oricorio and Powerful Energy Bug

I went to attack a Mew Vmax with my Umbrella Vmax's Max Darkness attack powered up with a Hiding Energy and 3x Powerful Energy (see Pic) but the attack only did 300 damage. A regular Max Darkness would do 160. Then add the three Powerful to boost the attack to 220. Then doubled because of the Mew Vmax weakness to 440. The Mew Vmax had a Double Turbo Energy attached and with Oricorio on the bench (see 2nd pic). So the final damage should have been 420. Correct?

It's as if none of the Powerful Energies were active.

    No. Read the card. Powerful Colorless Energy only boosts damage when attached to a Colorless Pokemon. They weren't active because they're not meant to be active. This is not a bug.


    I can't believe how often this comes up.
