+'''Holon''' (Japanese: '''ホロン''' ''Holon'') is a [[region]] introduced and explored exclusively in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It is a known habitat of the unusual {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} Pokémon, also introduced in the TCG.
-Holon is a region that is presumably north to Kanto, considering that Holon town seems to be close to Eidolon Forest. It is thus far the only region consisting of δdelta species pokemon.
+==History==
+[[File:Holon Tower.png|thumb|right|The Holon Research Tower]]
+The Holon region was inhabited by humans seeking to utilize the mysterious energy emitted by the region's power spots, researchers settled a village in the center of Mirage Forest (a nod to {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}}), and constructed a large tower in the center.<ref name = vol17>[https://web.archive.org/web/20051127080154/http://www.pokemon-card.com:80/yomimono/news_express/vol17_horon1.html 「ホロンの研究塔」の世界観と新要素 | pokemon-card.com], archived November 27, 2005 on Internet Archive</ref> The resulting electromagnetic waves caused the local Pokémon to mutate into abnormal types inconsistent with their genes elsewhere, with their highest evolved forms typically having {{TCG|Metal}} as a type.<ref>[https://youtu.be/_D8eQsYNvo0 ポケモンカードゲーム 拡張パック ホロンの研究塔 cm (2005)] Commercial for [[EX Delta Species (TCG)|Holon's Research Tower]] expansion</ref> The affected Pokémon came to be known as {{TCG|δ Delta Species|Delta Species}}. While studying these Pokémon, researchers discovered a new power, resulting in Holon's Pokémon. Further research into Delta Species and Holon's Pokémon resulted in the creation of three variations of Holon Energy: [[Holon Energy FF (EX Delta Species 104)|FF]], [[Holon Energy GL (EX Delta Species 105)|GL]], and [[Holon Energy WP (EX Delta Species 106)|WP]].<ref name = vol17 />
+==Geography==
+According to the official website, and artwork from TCG products, the region is located in the center of Mirage Forest from {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}}. A lake is also bordered by a massive mountain range. Described to be beyond the horizon are a chain of islands where powerful Pokémon are said to reside, which forms the basis for much of the {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}} expansion.
+===Notable locations===
+[[File:Mirage Forest.png|thumb|Mew teases a fieldworker in Mirage Forest.]]
+====Settlements====
+*'''Holon:''' The main community of the region, nestled in the center of Mirage Forest. From above, the city looks like a giant {{i|Poké Ball}}, with a ring of trees serving as the main border and with a canal that runs through the diameter into two circles that surround the city center. A cobbled walkway circles the land in between the circular canals and border, bridging the waterways. There is also a larger walkway with grand balustrades that leads to the city center. The houses are largely dome-shaped, and many properties have their own garden area or orchard. An observatory and the Holon Research Tower lie at the center of the city.
+====Landmarks====
+[[File:Holon Lake.png|thumb|The stone formation in the lake]]
+*'''Holon Research Tower:''' The tower dominates the skyline of the city and was constructed in order to manipulate the unique magnetic properties of the area to produce electromagnetic energy. When in operation, the tower can be seen absorbing bolts of yellow energy from three generators that surround it. When seen from above, the tower resembles the symbol used on {{TCG|Metal Energy}} cards, likely a direct reference to the secondary type of δ Delta Species Pokémon featured in the sets. The tower also provides the set symbol for {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}.
+[[File:Mountain Aerodactyl.png|thumb|The mountain range that encompasses the lake, with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in the image]]
+*'''Mirage Forest:''' The main focus of {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} and touched upon in {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}, this dense forest encompasses the city of Holon and is home to many of the Pokémon that were genetically altered as a result of the electromagnetic energy produced from Holon Research Tower. The southern edge of the forest is dotted with marshes as the land gives way to the waters of Holon Lake.
+[[File:Crystal Beach.png|thumb|right|Crystals growing on the Mysterious Island's beach]]
+*'''Holon Lake:''' Also featured in EX Holon Phantoms, Holon Lake is a vast body of water that is home to many more δ Delta Species Pokémon. In the lake, there is a stone formation that resembles the symbol used on Metal Energy cards. Perhaps as a homage to the [[Generation II]] games, the lake is also home to a {{shiny|Shining}} {{p|Gyarados}}, similar to the [[Red Gyarados]] that appeared at the [[Lake of Rage]].
+*'''Mountain Range:''' Surrounding a portion of Holon Lake is a large mountain range, featuring tall jagged peaks and outcrops. The foothills of these mountains contain boulders with mysterious patterns on them, as well as entrances leading to caves, which are home to fossil Pokémon that have also been affected by the radiation from Holon Research Tower.
-Story
+*'''Mysterious Island:''' Described as an island far offshore from Holon, its main feature is large crystals, which naturally grow there and are said to grant special powers if used correctly. Normal Pokémon and δ Delta Species Pokémon cohabit the island, and there is little human activity there. It is the main focus of the {{TCG|EX Crystal Guardians}} expansion.
-Holon's first formal introduction was in Ex Delta Species. The location in that set seemed to be a city where scientists were very anxious to find Mew, presumably via the city tower's electromagnetic waves. However, somehow or another the electromagnetic waves caused the pokemon nearby to turn into different types, often the final form bearing steel as a type. The affected pokemon came to be known as delta species.
+*'''Distant Island Chain:''' Described as being beyond the horizon, these islands are a habitat where natural Delta Species Pokémon thrive. This is reflected in the cards featured in the {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}} expansion, as fully evolved δ Delta Species Pokémon remain purely one type, as opposed to being partially Metal-type. A floating island with a mountain range can be seen from here, visible on the Offense and Defense of the Furthest Ends packaging and some cards from the set.
-These electromagnetic waves seemed to travel very far; eventually pokemon far off would not be part-steel, presumably due to delta species eventually breeding naturally.
+===Other===
+This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Holon or Pokémon that belong to the city. Most of these Pokémon are [[Artificial Pokémon|artificial]] and can double as {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s when attached to other Pokémon in play.
-Also, in Ex Crystal Guardians, it is unclear whether the electromagnetic radiation or the crystals caused pokemon to become delta species.

-In Ex Delta Species, the main landscape was city walkways with the Holon tower spewing out electromagnetic radiation in the background. The city also seemed to have canals, seemingly with Aquapolis in mind.

-In Ex Holon Phantoms, the main landscape is a lake, surrounded by marshes. Strangely enough, this lake seems to have a shining gyarados just like the Lake of Rage.

-In Ex Crystal Guardians, the main landscape consists of islands bearing strange crystals, which seem to change pokemon to delta species. It is unknown whether the electromagnetic radiation is still a factor of delta species pokemon in the crystal Islands.

+[[ja:ホロン]]
-In Ex Dragon Frontiers, the last set thus far containing delta species pokemon, the main landscape seems to be mountainous area so high up that often only clouds are seen down below. It is likely that the mountainous area is actually a collection of island mountains.
