I like how it says “all players” as if you’re supposed to show the card to EVERYONE playing in the league, not just to your opponent.
I know there are other cards that use this phrase, but Wizards era cards sure have interesting wording!
IDK
Can you add in Black Bolt and White Flare? Both of these sets just came out recently today
That Delta isn’t part of the card name doesn’t matter. In recent cases, like Single Strike/Dual Strike or Ancient/Future Pokémon, the wording is concise. Roaring Moon’s Vengeance Fletchling doesn’t do “10 more damage for each card in your discard pile with Ancient on its card”, it does “10 more damage for each Ancient card in your discard pile.” Even earlier, before Delta Species, rules used streamlined phrasing such as “If the Defending Pokémon is an Evolved Pokémon” instead of “If the Defending Pokémon has an Evolution Stage on its card.” Likewise, they’d say “Search your deck for a {G} Pokémon,” not “Search your deck for a Pokémon with {G} on its card.”
I just check check out of curiosity, and the Japanese Text just says that it puts more damage counters if the card is a [δ Delta Species]. they just translate to just say to just “has δ on its card” for some reason.
Oh cool! That’s actually a useful answer, thank you for satisfying my curiosity. I never realized δ wasn’t technically part of their name, but now that you’re pointing it out I can definitely see it.

Durant was the last Pokémon to have “he or she” on their card! Neat!
I honestly don’t know (I used to but I forgot lol) but it’s worth noting that the weird text may be because δ is never technically part of the card name; this card’s name is Lickitung, for example, not Lickitung δ.

Hey, wait a second. Does Delta Mind proc on Pokemon that even just mention Delta species in their text? The wording is very broad, it doesn’t specify Delta having to be in the name…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3dIl45lXB8 Well, here’s Lickitung’s life story, if anyone wants to hear jwittz tell the story about how Lickitung got the recognition it deserved.
(Though, to be fair, its play style IS a bit slow for the time limits many events used back then.)
Um, if you knock out a Roaring Moon ex with Genome Hacking, the NEXT Roaring Moon ex will just knock it out with an unboosted Calamity Storm, placing no damage on itself and forcing you to OHKO it with one of your deck’s OTHER attackers… or more likely, knock it out with a baby Roaring Moon, trading their one-prizer for your two-prizer and potentially forcing you into a seven-prize game.
I think the Roaring Moon ex players in your area just don’t like the Pokémon TCG that much if they stop playing with you after a Mew ex KO’s one of their Pokémon, and remember, for every major Pokémon that Mew ex OHKO’s, there’s SEVERAL that it can’t deal with. Mew ex is the backup plan, and if you’ve got the Energy acceleration to attack with it, you’d usually rather attack with something like Drifloon or Scream Tail.
At the end of the day, Mew ex is a well-designed card… it’s got a solid but situational attack that gives it multiple uses, but only some of the decks that run it can…

Seems potentially really fun

The card goes hard but not the art

Yep, they were doing this, though I forget the format name but it’s evidently failed/wasn’t popular.

Looks comfy.

This combos so well with Mega Camerupt ex. And Hyper Aroma or Jacq can find both cards on your turn #2
Whirlpool
Now we have Air Balloon back. Bye bye rescue board

Maybe they tried to make a multiplayer format

Yeah, those things are traits. I remember when people were discussing if the Pokemon with ancient traits were legal or rule box.

I don’t know, but I recently discovered that direct has been down as well due to moving to KY from NY.
