There's no indication that this is legal or illegal, so I'm kind of lost. To use the same move do you simply add more energy? tcg asked Jul 13, 2016 by kstephen2003 Energy can be used multiple times for a move, unless the move specifies otherwise. However, I'm not sure if this is a sufficient answer, as I have no official or reliable source to quote. Please log in or register to add a comment.

It's only if the energy behind the Pokemon gets discarded in some way (perhaps by the effect of an attack or by a crushing hammer) can the active Pokemon no longer use that move if they no longer have the required energy behind it. Hope I helped! Source: Experience answered Jul 14, 2016 by FrenzyTorterra Thanks a lot Please log in or register to add a comment.
