Illustrated by: Takumi Akabane

Attach Rainbow Energy to 1 of your Pokémon. While in play, Rainbow Energy provides every type of Energy but provides only 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, put 1 damage counter on that Pokémon.

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
It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
A strength
No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
Keep in mind
None of the 9,694 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.
