δ Delta Species are different to normal Pokémon, as their type is not what they would be expected to be. For example, Rayquaza becomes a Lightning/Metal type. If the Pokémon is a dual type, the secondary type is always Metal. In EX: Delta Species and the first few promo cards, if a δ Delta Species had one of its types changed to something other than Metal, it was always either to Fire or Lighting. This is most likely because in the TCG, Fire and Lightning Pokémon always have the same weakness, to Water and Fighting Pokémon respectively, so by using δ Delta Species, a player could attack with Fire and Lighting type cards without having to worry about that weakness. However, this does not hold true for later promos and the Holon Phantom expansion. | δ Delta Species are different to normal Pokémon, as their type is not what they would be expected to be.

Being a δ Delta Species does not affect a Pokémon's name, allowing a normal Dragonite to evolve from a Dragonair δ Delta Species for example. If a card wishes to reference δ Delta Species, it uses the text "Pokémon that has δ on its card." | Being a δ Delta Species does not affect a Pokémon's name, allowing a normal Dragonite to evolve from a Dragonair δ Delta Species for example.
