Trivia
- The effect of Hyper Whirlpool was later errata'd so that the player using the attack was the one who chose the Energy card to be discarded, not the player's opponent.
- Energy Rain is essentially a more balanced, watered-down version of the Rain Dance Pokémon Power possessed by Base Set Blastoise, a power so strong that it spawned one of the most popular deck archetypes of the Base Set era. The requirement of placing damage counters upon its use effectively prevents Energy Rain from being as dominating a force as its predecessor.
- Incidentally, of the three final evolutions of Kanto starters made into Pokémon-ex in EX FireRed & LeafGreen, this is the only one without an attack roughly analogous to its Base Set counterpart, as well as the only one not to have two attacks.
Origin
Hyper Whirlpool is a variant of Whirlpool, a move in the Pokémon games, though Blastoise could only learn it via HM in Generation II.
