This card may have been created in response to the frequent use of Champions Festival in Gardevoir ex decks.[1] Those decks commonly employed a combo of Drifloon with Bravery Charm, to which players could attach five Basic Energy cards with Gardevoir ex's Psychic Embrace Ability. This would put 10 damage counters on Drifloon, making its Balloon Blast attack do 300 damage. After using Champions Festival's effect, players could attach a sixth Energy and have Balloon Blast do 330 damage, enough to Knock Out Stage 2 Pokémon ex in one hit.
