Poké-BODY ⇢ Crystal Type
Whenever you attach a {G}, {L}, or {R} basic Energy card from your hand to Nidoking, Nidoking’s type (color) becomes the same as that Energy card type until the end of the turn.
{G}{G}{C} → Poison Horn : 20
The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.
{L}{L}{F}{F} → Rolling Thunder : 50
Flip a coin, If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon. If tails, this attack does 10 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness or Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Why would you attach a fire? His attack requires fighting. Not that its much a problem, as you’re probably using rainbow anyways. Actually, that makes him 4 types at once (As the card does not say “instead of his usual type.”)

They misprinted, putting Fighting as a Fire. I think they did the same with Blaine’s Charizard.
Curtis
I kind of figured they did. I wonder if the reason they did that so often was because the person typing the translations out on to the card doesn’t know if [f] means Fire or Fighting, or if they just look to similar in that size.

15 Energy symbols? Is that a record?
100000Volts
I would expect Tyranitar to have the most symbols since its typical attack require at least four energies, so I found a card that has 16 energy symbol:

Steelix ex has 18:

I don’t know if it’s the record, but I couldn’t find one with more than that yet.
100000Volts
Wow, then I guess the least amount would either be a baby Pokemon or the ditto from the fossil set.

The babies from the HGSS era attack for free, they have only their type symbol.
Does Clefairy Doll count?
(I still think we should have a typeless Type: Null, though (with the zero energy cost symbol where its type should be). That way, we could have one with no icons, provided it had attacks with no costs and so on. Yeah, it won’t happen…)
Psykicked
Yeah, HGSS babies are crazy. How do you get one symbol and that’s it?

This Aggron also has 16 Energy symbols.
