Pachirisu CL + Energies

[Nintendan]

When you use play Pachirisu onto your bench, can you use Self Generation even with just 1 Lightning Energy in hand and attach that?

If you can, does this also mean that you could play it and just attach 1 Lightning Energy even if you had 2 in hand since your hand is private?

Thanks.

Yes and Yes.
