As question. Will M Sceptile EX Jagged Saber trigger Malamar EX Hyper Hypnosis ability when attach energy from hand to Malamar EX?

M Sceptile EX
Jagged Saber 100
You may attach up to 2 Grass Energy cards from your hand to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like. If you attached Energy to a Pokémon in this way, heal all damage from that Pokémon.


Malamar EX
Hyper Hypnosis
When you attach an Energy from your hand to this Pokémon, you may use this Ability. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Asleep.
 
Jagged Saber tells you to "attach ... Energy cards from your hand" and Hyper Hypnosis works "when you attach an Energy from your hand."

You meet the condition for Hyper Hypnosis per the text of Jagged Saber, almost word-for-word. Hyper Hypnosis triggers whenever you attach from your hand, even if it's not your free "attach for turn."
 
For the future, make sure to post Pokémon.com scans of the cards in question, so we can provide the most accurate ruling.
