What are special cards
Limited / Limited 1 - You can only have one copy of this card in your main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck combined
(Recently, Pendulum Zones were integrated to the Spell and Trap Card Zones, but from 2014 to 2017 they used to be their own separate area on the board.) Link (blueish card with a hexagon pattern?): Those have no level, no Defense (thus cannot be placed in Defense position), and must be Special Summoned (using the required cards as stated in the cards text) so that you can summon more than one monster from your Extra Deck
Only 16 of these cards have a PSA GEM Mint 10 rating
Once during your turn, when this Pokmon moves from your Bench to become your Active Pokmon, you may move any number of Fire Energy from your other Pokmon to it
Yes, "placing counters" is not the same as "damage done", so Holon Energy WP prevents placing counters onto that Pokmon
