What it does

Double Rainbow Energy

Double Rainbow Energy can be attached only to an Evolved Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex). While in play, Double Rainbow Energy provides every type of Energy but provides 2 Energy at a time. (Has no effect other than providing Energy.) Damage done to your opponent’s Pokémon by the Pokémon Double Rainbow Energy is attached to is reduced by 10 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). When the Pokémon Double Rainbow Energy is attached to is no longer an Evolved Pokémon, discard Double Rainbow Energy.

This card acts as a wild card that can supply any energy type you require. It also lessens the harm your Pokemon inflicts on opponents, which helps control the pace of the game.

It suits decks built around powerful evolved Pokemon that need specific energy types to attack. You must ensure your strategy keeps the Pokemon in its evolved stage to keep the card attached.
