      How is it risky? You just burn cards from your hand.

        Well, considering you’re taking the chance off of your opponent’s hand size, and was there any reason to assure their hand would be a decent size?

          You could always ask your opponent for their hand size first. This card isn’t always useful but it can nab you a pretty nice hand in the right situations.

            I think he’s talking about including this in your deck at all. If your opponent uses less draws overall, or keeps his card count low by constantly burning through cards, you might not get that much of a benefit. This is most likely to be useful in the early game, where you might be able to recklessly empty out your hand, only to refill it back to a good size.

      It was good to play 1 since Holon Transceiver could grab it.

    It’s funny that the reprint without the cost of discarding a card is way worse than this.

    I wonder how the Holon research team managed to get their Pokemon as a very specific energy source. If it were them just generating regular Energy generally from their team of Electric-types it would be cool but wouldn’t raise many questions…but generating Rainbow Energy seems as though they’ve tapped into some different method of Energy generation, and the fact that they got a Castform to do it as well means it’s more than what you’d typically imagine. Maybe gathering Delta Species Pokemon in Holon allows them to tap into a new power source by using their unique energy, which is channelled through their stronger Pokemon to create Rainbow Energy and through their weaker, less capable Pokemon (ie Magnemite and Voltorb) to create regular energy. Very intriguing…

    The lore of the Delta Species Pokemon and Holon sounds really interesting. Imagine if they got a spinoff game like XD. Or a battle mode that gave Pokemon a different typing? A “Delta” or “Holon” mode that made Gyarados Electric/Steel instead of Water/Flying? Imagine if that were in ORAS.

      Interestingly, every single species (Magnemite, Magneton, Voltorb, Electrode, & Castform) to be depicted as a Holon’s Pokemon is a manmade species, implying that some sort of engineering went on behind the scenes in order to make them.
