Since the effect of attaching it to an evolved only is something that occurs OUTSIDE of play, no, you most likely would not be able to do that.
The same goes to cards like Potion and Full Heal Energy. Their effects are activated when coming into play, and once in play they do nothing (even in regular games the same would happen)

If LT Dragonite is in the active position, You should be able to attach BOOST ENERGY to a BASIC pokemon because EFFECTS of the energy cards stop working.

no, just like rainbow engery- when attached the pokemon will take a dammage counter, when playing from the hand, you ingore pokepower/pokebodys, see Muk vs Any Pokepower or Pokemon Power that works when comming into play rulling is the same way.

It is a requirement that it be attached to an evolved Pokemon, not an effect. And even if it was an effect, it would be a "coming into play" effect, so it would still have to be obeyed.
So, Boost can only be attached to an evolved Pokemon, even if Lt Dragonite is Active.

Yeah, but that's an awful lot of work just to get it all ER'd away. In the same amount of turns you could have attached a DCE and another energy, forcing them to SER to make it all disappear.

I have to agree with 'Pop here (sorry IP). Unless you want to argue that the card places an effect on itself before even coming into play, and as was pointed out, those still happen.
CFK: Yes, that would work.

Back to TheCrossFormatKid.
When the L. Dragonite no longer Active, the effect on the Boost Energy work again. If it is attached to the Scyther, it will be get discard at once because Scyther is not an evolved Pokemon.
I don't have the spoiler on hand (when is the Orcale for Aquapolis issue?). I remember the last sentence on Boost Energy is like:
"if the Boost Energy attached Pokemon no longer an evolved Pokemon, Discard Boost Energy".
So unless the L. Dragonite is your opponenet active (or your teammate in Team Battle), the Scizor/Boost Energy/Devolution combo do not work. It is because when the Scyther move to active and retreat the L. Dragonite, the Boost energy will be discarded and Scyther will have no energy to attack.

You're absolutely right 'Mom! I agree 100%.

*T minus 2748 and counting!* 
Can I attach Boost Energy to my ego when Mewtwo is active, or do I have to be active?
If I use LSSP (lame, self-serving posts), can I attach Boost Energy, or do I have to have something to say?

OK, I'm going to have to put on my Mod uniform and lock this. It is getting way to personal, not to mention the fact that recent posts have absolutely nothing to do with the original question.
The question has been answered anyway.
