 δ Delta Species are different than normal Pokémon, as their type is not what they would be expected to be. For example, Rayquaza δ becomes a dual-typed {{TCG|Lightning}}/{{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon, as opposed to a {{ct|Colorless}}. 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.
-In EX Delta Species, if a Delta Species Pokémon had one of its types changed to something other than Metal, it was always either to {{TCG|Fire}} or Lightning. This is likely due to the fact that, since these two types are based upon one of the [[elemental types|game types]] each, whereas others are based on more, all cards of those two types shared a single weakness among them: {{TCG|Water}} and {{TCG|Fighting}}, respectively. Thus, Fire Pokémon and Lightning Pokémon became more playable by diversifying their weaknesses. Later sets did not do this, however, and Delta Species Pokémon could be of any type.

 In terms of card design, δ Delta Species have a coil design going around their image border, and the evobox circle becomes a large letter δ; Basic Pokémon have an empty letter δ.
