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 a retrained 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.
- Incidentally, of the three final evolutions of Kanto first partners 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 can only learn it via HM06 in Generation II and HM05 in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
