==Trivia==
*This was the first Holofoil Energy card and the first Special Energy card to be reprinted in a Japanese expansion.
*Rainbow Energy had its own Energy symbol, {{e|Rainbow}}, prior to the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} print. This was changed to a {{e|Colorless}} symbol congruous to the print's updated effect, and was reverted to its old symbol in its {{TCG|Celestial Storm}} print.
