When is an evolution not an evolution?

[bulbasnore]

Take an evolved Magma or Aqua Pokémon, use Maxie or Archie respectively. It now rests on the bench. Let's say this is a Walrein... Now get your Double Rainbow Energy, which 'can only be attached to an evolved Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-EX)' and try to attach it.

Can you attach the Double Rainbow because the Pokémon is a Stage 1 or Stage 2 evolution? Or, can you not because Maxie and Archie say to 'Treat the new benched Pokémon as a Basic Pokémon.'?

This was mentioned in last week's (Apr 8th) Compendium-EX update (but I just realized I forgot to put in the date stamp, oops!):
== ARCHIE / MAXIE (EX:Team Magma/Team Aqua)

Q. If I Archie or Maxie a Stage 2 Pokemon down, can I place a Double Rainbow Energy on it?
[A. Sorry, but DRE can only be attached to an Evolved Pokemon, and Archie & Maxie specifically state to treat the retrieved card as a Basic Pokemon.]
Nice Try,
