Retreating is NOT "playing an energy card". In order to retreat you discard an energy ALREADY attached to the Pokemon that is retreating. If you have to "play an energy card" onto that Pokemon in order to have enough to discard, then you may NOT play another energy card. But if you are merely discarding cards that were attached in previous turns, then you are still able to attach energy. Brian Brokaw
