Hey there, its me again. I have a few more questions for you guys. Hopefully y'all know the answers.

1) My friend plays an Exeggutor (HGSS) and attatches a psyhic energy. He uses energy absorption to get 2 more energies. On his next turn he plays a Double Colorless Energy. He then uses Big Eggsplosion. Does he get to flip 4 coins (psychic + the 2 from absorption + d.c.) or 5 because dc provides 2 {C} energy?

2) For any of the Arceus lv X, the power of multi-type lets Arceus be the same as its previous level. Does that just mean the type, or does the weakness & resistance count as well? Specifically the Psychic Bolt {L}{P} Arceus played on a {L} Arceus.

3) Special Energies: In deck construction, are they counted the same as basic energies to where you can have as many as you want in a deck, or just up to 4?

4) And I believe I know the answer to this, but my friend wants me to ask just to be sure. If it is the start of the game and I win the coin flip, I go first. I have 1 active and 1 bench, and my opponent has 1 active and 1 benched (lets say a Hoothoot and Growlithe (both HGSS)), Since I won the coin flip and go first, can he evolve those cards on his first turn since, "they have technically been out for your turn". I think not, because they have still only been out their first turn.
 
1) Five. You flip for each "Energy" attached to Exeggutor, not "Energy card." Exeggutor has 5 Energy attached to it, so you flip five coins.

2) Just the type. You always use the card stats of the top card unless specified otherwise. Weakness, Resistance, Retreat Cost, and HP of the top card are used.

3) No they are not. You may only have up to four of each kind in your deck, but you may have multiple Special Energy cards with different names (4 Special Darkness, 4 Rainbow, etc.)

4) No he cannot. You cannot evolve on your first turn, and Pokemon cannot be evolved the turn they are put into play anyway.
 
(+barring the use of Broken Time-Space/Rare Candy etc., if he plays them and goes second, since the guy going first can't play T/S/S on the first turn)
