doesn't say in the description. but you're gaining the elemental subtype so that you gain immunity to a bunch of things, changing your phsyiology. but it doesn't list if it functions like Energy Body I or anything, just that you gain the subtype.
Does your armor meld in with your form, in exchange for all of the immunities you gain while in the new form?

I read it as just gaining the subtype, no polymorph or anything else crazy. You just glow a little bit and get all the cool elemental immunity's. You should still have your weapons, armor, casting abilities, etc.
Energy Body (Su): As a standard action, you can transform your body into pure life energy, resembling a golden-white fire elemental. In this form, you gain the elemental subtype and give off a warm, welcoming light that increases the light level within 10 feet by one step, up to normal light. Any undead creature striking you with its body or a handheld weapon deals normal damage, but at the same time the attacker takes 1d6 points of positive energy damage + 1 point per oracle level. Creatures wielding melee weapons with reach are not subject to this damage if they attack you. If you grapple or attack an undead creature using unarmed strikes or natural weapons, you may deal this damage in place of the normal damage for the attack. Once per round, if you pass through a living allied creature’s square or the ally passes through your square, it heals 1d6 hit points + 1 per oracle level. You may use this ability to heal yourself as a move action. You choose whether or not to heal a creature when it passes through your space. You may return to your normal form as a free action. You may remain in energy body form for a number of rounds per day equal to your oracle level.
emphasis mine
it does'nt seem like a polymorpoh effect to me,
measning you have normal stats... or can use another polymorph effect simultaneously.
The rules as written are unclear. It's basically a question of how much the descriptions matter. I would personally rule that Energy Body is a polymorph effect, as described for polymorph spells on pgs. 211-212 of the CRB.
