Number: 80/82
Set: Team RocketRO
Illustrated by: Takumi Akabane

Attach Rainbow Energy to 1 of your Pokémon. While in play, Rainbow Energy counts as every type of basic Energy but only provides 1 Energy at a time. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card when not in play.) When you attach this card from your hand to 1 of your Pokémon, it does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.)Attachez Énergie multicolore à 1 de vos Pokémon. Lorsqu'elle est en jeu, Énergie multicolore compte comme n'importe quel type de carte Énergie de base mais ne fournit qu'une seule Énergie à la fois. (Ne compte pas pour une carte Énergie lorsqu'elle n'est pas en jeu). Lorsque vous attachez cette carte à 1 de vos Pokémon depuis votre main, elle inflige 10 dégâts à ce Pokémon. (N'appliquez pas la Faiblesse et la Résistance).
