Ruling Rainbow Energy

[ThirdEye]

Rainbow Energy: If a pokemon uses 2 different types of energy, psychic and lightning for example, could I use the rainbow energy for either? If I use it as a psychic energy on turn 2, can I then use it as a lightning energy on turn 3? Basically, I'm asking if I can change the type of energy the Rainbow is providing....

It always provides every type of energy, it only provides one unit of energy at a time though.~Mark

Rainbow Energy does not change the Energy it provides. It always provides everything simultaneously. However, it still only provides no more than 1 energy.

Think of Rainbow Energy as a wild-card, where it counts as all types, but it's still just one card - like a Joker in a deck of cards.
