Yes, you may Trans those cards away from Ditto later. Ditto does NOT change the cards. If you attach Grass ENERGY CARDS to Ditto, they will always be Grass ENERGY CARDS. However, Ditto will convert the ENERGY that those ENERGY CARDS produce to whatever color Ditto needs. So, in your example, your Ditto has Grass ENERGY CARDS that produce Water ENERGY. ENERGY and ENERGY CARDS are two different things. Venusaur's power messes with ENERGY CARDS. Ditto's power messes with ENERGY. They don't conflict. Brian Brokaw
