Ruling Herb Energy and Electivire

[Ivy_Profen]

2 Questions that I'm wondering about.

Can this energy get accelerated out of the deck by Virizion Ex's Emerald Slash.

Since it states that you can search for 2 grass energy and attach it to a benched pokemon. Herbal Energy has the grass symbol on it and Emerald Slash doesn't specify that it has to be a basic energy.

I know the healing effect wont take place. I just plan to put this in a VirGen deck, and I'm wondering if it will affect how many energy i can accelerate out of my deck.

As for Electivire. It's attack states:
"This attack does 20 more damage for each Energy attached to your Magmortar." Does this mean that it counts each energy attached to all of your Magmotar, or just 1 that you choose?

I'm inclined to say no because part of Herbal Energy reads "This card provides Grass Energy only while this card is attached to a Grass Pokemon." Meaning that while it is in the deck, it doesn't count as a Grass Energy and therefore is not a possible target with Emerald Slash.

For the other question, if the attack counted all of your Magmortar on the Bench, it would have read something like "...attached to each of your Magmortar in play..." or something like that. It's only one, so I guess you get to choose which one.

Confirming what Mora said about Herbal Energy and Emerald Slash is correct.

However, with Electrivire, Tag Team Spark counts all of your Magmortar in play. The reason being it doesn't say something like "Choose one of your benched Magmortar".
