Use any attack from Kingdra's Basic Pokémon card or Evolution card. (Kingdra doesn't have to pay for that attack's Energy cost.)

Flip 2 coins. For each heads, choose 1 Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon, if any, and discard it. If both are tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage).

It sleeps deep on the ocean floor to build its energy. It is said to cause tornadoes as it wakes.

Pidgeotto's "Twister" attack says to discard an Energy attached to the Defending Pokemon for each heads flipped. Does that mean if I only flip one heads I cannot discard a Double Colorless Energy?

Actually, you can discard a DCE with a single heads. It's like paying a Retreat Cost with an Energy Card that has more energy than required to retreat. Total the number of flips, then discard Energy Cards one at a time until the condition has been met. So if you flip one heads you can discard a single Energy Card with one or more energy on it. But if you flip two heads you can either choose a card with one energy then another card with one or more energy, or you can choose a single card with two or more energy on it.
