Venusaur allows you to MOVE Grass energy around. Blastoise allows you to PLAY Water energy from your HAND. They are not the same. 2) Your friend did a legal move. When you play Scoop Up you throw away all evolution cards, energy cards, and damage counters. You only put the Basic Pokemon into your hand. Then, you are free to play that basic pokemon again (damage free!) But of course it will have no energy or evolutions either ;-) Brian Brokaw
