Nope, but you flip a coin for each Energy attached to itself and the defending Pokemon.
 
This is what they call the self-referencing rule. If a card mentions itself by name, it refers only to that instance of the card, not to any other card with that name that might be in play. So String Bomb:

Flip a coin for each basic Energy card attached to Exeggutor
Click to expand...

is really saying:

Flip a coin for each basic Energy card attached to this Pokemon
Click to expand...

That's the easiest way to remember the rule. If you can replace the Pokemon's name with "this Pokemon" and the card text still makes sense, it's self-referencing.

Now if it said something like "for each Exeggutor you have in play", then you'd take both the Active and the Bench into account.
 
In other words, you only flip for whatever's attached to the Exeggutor doing the attack.
