can i use electivire intense voltage to move holons castform,delta rainbow or double rainbow energy from 1 of my pokemon to electivire?it does say "move a energy" but it also says as often as i like!
 
Q. If an Electivire uses "Intense Voltage" to move multiple energies to itself while Shiftry-EX with "Dark Eyes" is in play, it takes 2 damage counters per energy moved, correct?
A. Right. Many players take the shortcut of moving energy cards all at once, but the Intense Voltage Poké-POWER is technically moving only one energy each time, thus invoking the Dark Eyes Poké-BODY each time it is used. (May 31, 2007 PUI Rules Team)

so if i move holons castform or double rainbow how many damage do i take?theres still alot of confusion over this matter from where i play.many still believes holons castform n DRE cant be moved by electabuzz's intense voltage.

Yes, you can move Holon Castform & DRE because it did not state that you must move a Lightning energy card.

A. The lightning-bolt symbol in the text of Intense Voltage indicates Electric energy in general, not "Basic Electric Energy". Intense Voltage can move Rainbow, etc. (May 31, 2007 PUI Rules Team)

You would take only 2 damage counters for moving a DRE or a castform to electivire. You are using the pokepower once to move the DRE/castform.
 
If cards like Double Rainbow Energy, Holon's Castform, Delta Rainbow Energy are applying Lightning energy at the time (Double Rainbow Energy and Holon's Castform would be doing it automatically anyway, as would Delta Rainbow Energy if it was attached to a delta pokemon). Then you can move them to Electivire, but keep in mind that Delta Rainbow Energy would *NOT* be giving the effect of Lightning energy once it is on Electivire. Unless of course Ampharos d is in play. Then it is a different story.
