So hey guys. So i was plaing my friend at league and we were the only ones there after everybody left. I was using Sceptile for GE and as some of u know he's POKE-BODY is (each basic grass energy card attached to your grass pokemon provides double grass energy instead. BLah Blah u know the rest.

So Sceptile was my Active pokemon and it had only 2 basic grass energy attached to it to use he attack Leaf Blade. I had a Venusar form CG and i want to retreat my Sceptile and it retreat cost it 3 (*)
so because basic grass energy are now double do u only discard 2 energy. Or then seens you need to discard 3 does it have to be 3. So what im asking is can you discard 2 basic grass energy or do you still need 3 energy to discard. Well hope you guys understand what im tring to say. SO please try to help me out we are all fight to see who's right. OK thanks everybody. :D
 
RE: How many energy to retreat then??

Just like any energy card that provides more than one energy, you only need to discard 3 (or how much the Retreat Cost may be) ENERGY not energy cards in order to retreat. If you had a Scramble attached and you were behind in prizes, then you could've simply discarded that to retreat. So since each basic grass attached to your Pokemon provides 2 instead, you only need to discard the two grass energies attached to pay for a (*)(*)(*) retreat cost. Hope that makes some sense...
