There are some others. Pokemon LEGEND, and some Steam Siegers. Some Dark Pokemon too. I say because it's sold as a mechanic (even listed in the Appendix!), it should have a distinct page.

== Card names ==
Something that's been confusing me for a while now: Why does Bulbapedia refer to all Delta Species Pokémon cards as "<name> δ" instead of just "<name>" as the rules of the game treat them? The same thing isn't being done for things like Team Plasma or Single/Rapid/Fusion Strike cards which are also not considered part of the name, so why is the δ always included? It seems both inconsistent and inaccurate. [[User:Hyper Turtwig|Hyper Turtwig]] ([[User talk:Hyper Turtwig|talk]]) 01:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Why the hell can't this page be moved? "δ" is NOT "Δ!" And Nidoqueen δ is fine! -Politoed666

Hm. I typed in the "Delta" symbol, and it brought up this page without a "redirected" sign. Perhaps because it reads it as a triangle. TinaTheKirlia 03:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh wait. Never mind. TinaTheKirlia 03:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Because δ is lowercase Greek letter delta and Δ is capital Greek letter delta. The wiki software automatically capitalizes the first letter of the page title no matter what. Zurqoxn 03:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Why don't we just add a space in front? I know it'll be politically incorrect and inconsistant, but there will be redirects and it will look so much nicer. -Politoed666
Doesn't work. The link formatting ignores spaces before the first character. --Shiningpikablu252 04:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Okay. I finished it, FINALLY.

I redid the list, now it's in NDex order. TTEchidna 07:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Very nice work! Looks a lot better now. Cipher 09:27, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dual type in TCG

Are these the only cards that can be dual type in the TCG? How does dual type affect weaknesses and resistances? If a dual type Metal and Grass pokemon hits a Pokemon weak to Metal, is the damage doubled? What if the defending Pokemon is weak to one type but resists the other? There should be a section explaining this, either in this article or elsewhere. Mateussf (talk) 11:12, 11 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
