This is a contuation of the previous question.
I just want to make sure I have this straight since we have been doing it wrong.
I have Wurmple, Silcoon and Beautifly from DP in front of me as well as Cyclone, Boost and Double Rainbow energy.
Wurmple has two attacks, the first calls for a colorless energy the second a grass energy, my understanding is that any energy (fight, fire, whatever) would satisfy the colorless requirement but only grass would satisfy the grass requirement. Is that right so far? Carrying thru to Beautifly, her second attack calls for 2 grass and 2 colorless, and again only grass for the grass but anything for the 2 colorless.
My confusion comes in with the special energy. Here is my understanding from the answer you gave me earlier. If I wanted to use the Cyclone I could use it to satisfy Wurmple's colorless requirement, but not the grass reguirement. If I wanted to use Double Rainbow Energy it would satisfy both energy requirements of Silcoon's second attack which calls for 1 grass and 1 colorless. If I wanted to use Boost with Beautifly I could use it to satisfy the two colorless but I would still need 2 grass to satisfy the grass requirement. Did I get that right?
If I got both things right then I don't understand the logic that allows the colorless on the pokemon card to be satisfied by "anything" but the colorless special doesn't satisfy "anything" it only satisfies colorless.
