Lanette's Net Search (EM 77). Mewtwo (DS 12). Lanette’s Net Search appears to be allowing an invalid search result when one of the selected Basic Pokémon has multiple types. Specifically, Delta Mewtwo from Delta Species is both Fire and Metal type, meaning it should count as two of the three allowed Pokémon types for Lanette’s Net Search.

Relevant Card Text
Lanette’s Net Search:
“Search your deck for up to 3 different types of Basic Pokémon cards (excluding Baby Pokémon), show them to your opponent and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.”
Expected Behavior
Lanette’s Net Search should allow the player to search for up to three different Pokémon types total.
Since Mewtwo (DS 12) is a dual-type Pokémon, counting as both Fire and Metal, selecting it should use two of the three available type slots. After choosing Mewtwo, the player should only be able to select one additional Basic Pokémon, and that Pokémon would need to be of a third different type.
Actual Behavior
The player was able to search for and add all three of the following cards to hand:
Rayquaza ex (DF 97)
Holon’s Castform (HP 44)
Mewtwo (DS 12)
Because Mewtwo already has two types, this search appears to exceed the “up to 3 different types” restriction if the other selected Pokémon add additional types.
Why This Is Incorrect
Lanette’s Net Search restricts the search by Pokémon type, not simply by the number of Pokémon cards. A dual-type Pokémon should contribute both of its types toward the three-type limit. Therefore, after selecting Delta Mewtwo, the search should only allow one more Pokémon type to be represented among the searched cards.
Suggested Fix
When resolving Lanette’s Net Search, the validator should count all printed/current Pokémon types on each selected Basic Pokémon. If the combined set of types across the selected Pokémon exceeds three different types, the selection should be rejected as invalid.
