 | Today's card is Holon Energy GL from Delta Species 
 First off, Im excited because I just got a Christmas 
						tree yesterday for my apartment :). I'm totally in the 
						Holiday spirit. I encourage everyone to read Matthew 
						1:18-25 where it talks about Jesus's birth, even if 
						Christmas is probably not the day He was born, its still 
						awesome to read through that again.
 
 On to the card. So once again we get to review a new 
						energy :). However, this one is pretty pathetic. First, 
						it's for Pokes with grass or lightning energy attached 
						to them. That would be fine, except it can't be attached 
						to a Poke EX which means Vile EX can't use it (which, if 
						it could, this card would be pretty broken seeing as 
						special conditions are basically Vile's weakness because 
						it stops his power). So, with Vile EX out of the 
						picture, who do we have left? Syther, perhaps a version 
						of Zapdos or a Jumpluff line someone is experimenting 
						with, and thats about it. Overall, not going to effect 
						anything. If you want to get arid of a special 
						condition, retreat the Syther (its free to anyway). 
						What's 10 less damage for a Suicune EX? One energy - and 
						since Suicune EX is normally comboed with Blastoise, 
						that one energy really isn't going to effect much. The 
						effects of this energy are just better seen on trainers. 
						I could see it as a prevention to paralysis for grass 
						Pokes... but still, not worth the one card slot :-\.
 
 Something else I should point out is the wording on this 
						card. It says "If the Pokémon that Holon Energy GL is 
						attached to also has a basic [L] Energy card attached to 
						it...." From the way it sounds there, it appears that 
						the Poke has to have a grass energy AND a lightning 
						energy to get the second effect. That's just flat out 
						terrible. Is there an viable unlimited Poke that can 
						have both grass energy and lightning energy attached to 
						it without getting easily knocked out? Didn't think so 
						(and if you answered Ho-oh, please seriously reconsider 
						your knowledge of the game).
