δ Delta Species are different from normal Pokémon in that their type is not the expected type for a Pokémon of their species; however, they still have the same weaknesses that a regular Pokémon of their species would have. For example, {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Charmander δ|49}} is a {{ct|Lightning}} Pokémon, as opposed to a {{ct|Fire}}, but remains weak to the {{ct|Water}} rather than gaining a weakness to the {{ct|Fighting}}. | δ Delta Species are different from normal Pokémon in that their type is not the expected type for a Pokémon of their species; however, they still have the same weaknesses that a regular Pokémon of their species would have.

Dual type Pokémon δ always have Metal as their secondary type, and it is nearly always fully evolved Pokémon or [[Legendary Pokémon]] that display this. However, with the release of EX Dragon Frontiers, no Pokémon δ displayed this Metal dual type, leading some to believe that these Pokémon became δ Delta Species naturally or the trait was outbred on the island habitats in which they live. Appearance-wise, δ Delta Species Pokémon do not differ from normal Pokémon other than an aura that denotes its type; some have a more distinct aura than others. | Dual type Pokémon δ always have Metal as their secondary type, and it is nearly always fully evolved Pokémon or [[Legendary Pokémon]] that display this.
