About this Treecko δ
The card
Treecko δ 007/016 comes from the Ocean's Kyogre ex Constructed Starter Deck, released in Japan on 10 March 2006. The δ marks it as a Delta Species: a Pokémon with a type it does not normally have. This Treecko is a Psychic type instead of Grass, but keeps the Fire Weakness of an ordinary Treecko. It has 40 HP and two attacks: Pound for 10, and Shining Claws for 10, which confuses the Defending Pokémon on heads. The art is by Masakazu Fukuda.
The starter deck
The deck was a Japanese-only half deck built around Kyogre ex, with two copies of this Treecko. It came out alongside Miracle Crystal, the expansion released the same day, and next to a partner deck, Earth's Groudon ex. Most of the deck's cards were not in Miracle Crystal itself. They joined the main set in its English version, EX Crystal Guardians, released on 30 August 2006, where this Treecko is 68/100.
