Holon's Castform, etc. (there are quite a few in the set) Offhand I'd say that some one just made a poor rewording of language meant to specify Delta Species Pokemon, but a literal interpetation does leave things ambiguous.

From your previous post:
On some of the new HP cards, it says "cards with (delta) on them" should this be treated as "Deleta Species Pokemon"?

No, they are not Deleta Species. (Deleta Species...hmm...the symbol would be ^H ?)

As far as "a poor rewording" - no matter how you write it, if you say "has Delta Species on the card", then you'd run into the same problem - hey! It says Delta Species on the card...even though it's not.

Yes, it can be ambiguous. However, on the opposite end, if you're verbose, you can lose people just as easily. Sometimes we'll keep the card text & meaning as simple as possible. This is one of those times.
