Attach this card to 1 of your Evolved {R}, {W}, or {P} Pokémon in play. That Pokémon may use this card’s attack instead of its own. At the end of your turn, discard Miracle Sphere β.
{W}{C}{C} → Freezing Force : 30+
If the Pokémon using this attack has {R} and {W} basic Energy cards attached to it, this attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Burned. If the Pokémon using this attack has {W} and {P} basic Energy cards attached to it, choose an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon, if any, and your opponent shuffles that card into his or her deck.

Did they seriously predict ORAS this early on?!

How is this referencing ORAS? I don’t see anything apart from maybe the wacky Latias-like attack cost.

Nm, I misread the name.

All the Miracle Sphere attacks are referencing the legendary birds from Pokémon RGBY;
Miracle Sphere ⍺ – Fire Force was originally ファイヤーフォース, and Moltres’ original name is ファイヤー
Miracle Sphere β – Freezing Force was originally フリーザーフォース, and Articuno’s original name is フリーザー
Miracle Sphere 𝛾 – Thunder Force was originally サンダーフォース, and Zapdos’ original name is サンダー
It’s important to note here that their JP names are phonetic English of fairly simple phrases – “Fire”, “Thunder”, “Freezer”, so it’s not quite as simple as “these attacks actually should’ve been translated as Moltres Force, etc.”, but the intention here was a lot clearer for the Japanese audience.
