What this card does

The card changes the rules of the battle while it is in play.

All Special Energy cards attached to any Pokemon provide only Colourless Energy.

These Special Energy cards lose their original effects and cannot be used for anything else.

What it does

Temple of Sinnoh

All Special Energy attached to Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) provide Colorless Energy and have no other effect.

This card strips away the unique powers of Special Energy, such as Fire or Water types. It forces both players to rely on standard Colourless energy instead.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that use many basic Energy cards or benefit from ignoring special effects. It can disrupt strategies that depend heavily on specific type advantages.

Strengths
  • Disrupts special energy
  • Simple effect
  • Universal impact
Watch out for
  • Affects both players
  • No type bonuses
  • Uncommon rarity
Pro tip

Check for this card in the Stadium zone before playing your own Special Energy cards.

Good to know

The Temple of Sinnoh is a legendary location known for its connection to the mythological Pokemon Dialga and Palkia.
