When using M Gengar's attack to hijack Magmamortar's attack, do I need an Electivire on my bench?

Question

My opponent might have an Electivire on his bench and therefore HE can get the added attack bonus, but do I get the bonus as well even if I don't have an Electivire on my bench?

This is regarding Magmortar's attack, Twin Bursts.

No, it must be on your own bench.

M Gengar doesnt help magmortar.

Answer 1

No, you can't . The card says : if Electivire is on your bench, this attack does 80 more damage. It doesn't say : If an Electivire is in in play, or if an Electivire is on the opponents bench, then too you get the damage
