It is categorized under the Energy supertype and features artwork by Kent Kanetsuna. The card’s flavor text describes a mechanism where damage done by attacks to a Metal-type Pokémon it is attached to is reduced by 10, though this effect is nullified if the target is not Metal. It provides a source of Metal Energy, functioning as a specialized energy provider. The card’s unique property allows it to supply Metal Energy without being classified as a basic Energy card. Its role is defined by the specific conditions outlined in its description, emphasizing its interaction with Metal-type Pokémon. The card’s design and function are fully encapsulated within its provided attributes, offering a distinct utility within the game’s framework.

Damage done by attacks to the Pokémon that Metal Energy is attached to is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Ignore this effect if the Pokémon that Metal Energy is attached to isn't Metal. Metal Energy provides Metal Energy. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.)
