HP: 90
Type: LightningMetal
Stage: Stage 1
Retreat cost: 2
Weakness: ×2

Its Ability

Delta Reactor

As long as any Stadium card with Holon in its name is in play, each of your Pokémon that has δ on its card does 10 more damage to the Defending Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Hyper Beam

Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon.

Heavy Impact

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
Heavy Impact hits for 80 on 5 Energy. Nothing in Holon Phantoms hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Delta Reactor. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 281 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
