Shining Gyarados (NR 65) Devastate: doesn't discard defending pokemon's energy

Hi there, I was playing with a friend and noticed the same bug occurred twice: Gyarados’s attack states
“[…] If heads, choose 1 Energy card attached to EACH of your opponent’s Pokémon that has any Energy cards attached to it and discard those Energy cards”.
This means that you should discard an energy card from every opponent’s pokemon, defending pokemon included.
Instead, I got heads and I could discard an energy card just from benched pokemon, not from the defending pokemon. FYI, the defending pokemon was Raikou (N3 13), with 3 lightning and 1 metal energy attached.

Here is the log (where the discarded [L] energy was from a benched Pikachu):
● Shining Gyarados used Devastate
● [R] Energy was discarded
● Rainbow Energy (TR 80) was discarded
● Coin flip [Devastate]: HEADS
● [L] Energy was discarded
● Metal Energy -10
● Shining Gyarados did 40 damage to Raikou
● Shining Gyarados did 10 damage to Pikachu
● Shining Gyarados did 10 damage to Zapdos
● Shining Gyarados did 10 damage to Lt. Surge’s Electabuzz
● Shining Gyarados did 10 damage to Scyther
● Shining Gyarados did 10 damage to Pikachu

This behaviour repeated itself in the next game, with a different defending pokemon.

Thank you for your wonderful work, admin.

Fixed in v74. Note that now, the 1st Pokémon the game prompts to discard from is the Active (it isn’t identified), followed by each of the Benched from left to right.
