Ruling rainbow energy

We got Multi now. Pretty much the same thing.

Actually there's a few substantial differences that might make Rainbow preferred.

> It can stack
> It puts a damage counter on the pokemon its attached to (Great for Gyarados / Ursaring)

Alas its probably gone forever.
 
Naw, rainbow is the only special energy (besides dark and metal) that I see being around for the rest of the game. Why it hasn't been reprinted is anyones guess but it will show up.
 
is it true that the only the cards from the holon phantom sets and above are the only cards allowed in the tourneys?

what about energy cards.does the energy cards from ruby sapphire sets allowed?

Yes but some tournys, depending on where you go, are different. Otherwise, it's HP-on...

Yes, you can even use the Base Set energies... :D
 
Basic Energies from any set are legal.

Special Energies (ones with names) are subject to the tournament format restrictions.

Legal Special Energies in HP-on are:
  • Boost
  • Cyclone
  • Darkness
  • Delta Rainbow
  • Double Rainbow
  • Heal
  • Holon FF/GL/WP
  • Holon's Castform
  • Metal
  • Multi
  • Scramble
  • Warp
 
That's because basic energies are essentially "reprinted" every few sets like EM, HP/CG (can't remember which), DP, etc. There has to be a set with basic energies in it each format.
 
Any Energy that was in and old et, but was made again in a new set, is completely tournament leegal. But if you have an old DRE, you need a translation because the text changed.
