The symbol for Delta Species is the Holon Research Tower.

Sequence

  • 26th English Expansion
  • 28th Japanese Expansion

Release Dates

  • 7th October 2005 - Japanese Half Decks
  • 28th October 2005 - Japanese Expansion
  • 31st October 2005 - English Expansion

Prereleases were held on the weekends of 22nd/23rd and 29th/30th October 2005.

Trivia

  • The English set was released before Eidolon Forest (Eidolon Forest was before Research Tower of Holon in Japan), as there was a mix-up with translations. This once again threw the English sets out of sequence with the Japanese sets. Because of this, the English set was only a few days behind the release of the Japanese set. However, the Prereleases were held before the commercial release of the Japanese set, making this the first set in history to be revealed for the first time outside Japan.
  • The set reveals the Holon Research Tower, located in the middle of Eidolon Forest (already introduced in Japan; introduced in the next English set); it is the home of scientists who conduct research on Mew and strange new Pokémon. These Pokémon have been altered by a wave of electromagnetic radiation produced by an experiment gone awry at Holon labs. The result - δ Delta Species.
  • These new Pokémon possess types different from their original and some, in their fully evolved forms, are partially Metal-types. They could be considered as the counterpart to Dark Pokémon in the EX series.
  • EX Delta Species also introduces Holon’s Pokémon, which are unique as they can double as Special Energy cards, and new Trainer cards which centralise themselves around the Holon Tower community.
  • Similar to cards belonging to Team Magma, Team Aqua and Team Rocket, the card layout was visually enhanced for δ Delta Species Pokémon: -
    • δ Delta Species Pokémon have a character window with a "double helix" effect.
    • They have "δ Delta Species" next to the character name.
    • They sport a "δ" symbol where the evolution stage is situated, with the evolution window being part of the "δ" in Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokémon.
  • This set contains only 3 Pokémon ex, a record low for any set in the EX series.
  • The holographic rare design changed exclusively for δ Delta Species Pokémon, with the card border and Pokémon itself featuring a plain holographic treatment.
  • The reverse-holographic design for this set is similar to that of the new holographic rare treatment, with same foil used but only on the background image. In addition to the background, name text and rarity symbol, the reverse-holographic versions of the holographic rares now have a holographic border and HP text. All reverse-holographics feature the EX Delta Species set logo.
  • The secret box-topper card for this set is Azumarill.
  • The Prerelease card for this set is Metang δ.
