Aurora Energy

You can attach this card to 1 of your Pokémon only if you discard another card from your hand. As long as this card is attached to a Pokémon, it provides every type of Energy but provides only 1 Energy at a time.

This card is special because it can be Fire, Water, Grass or any other type depending on what your Pokémon needs. It gives you flexibility without needing to carry many different basic energy cards.
