YEP,

Rainbow is a SPECIAL energy card but when in PLAY (attached to a pokemon) it is ALL colors. It is a LIGHTNING energy card in this case.

So YES you must ALSO discard it in order to do 80 damage.

um, i dont think so, if you read the new ruling on that card, it says it never counts as a basic energy,

What new ruling? Rainbow Energy's text states that it "Doesn't count as a Basic energy card." Basic energy and Basic Energy Card are two different things. Anytime you have to (or want to) discard a specific type of Basic Energy, a Rainbow Energy card will suffice.

Searching...searching.... ah!

My old articles are still there! Just have to know how to find them.

Here, try this article on the difference between Energy and Energy Cards: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=pokemon/strategy/ss20010921

Hope that helps.
