Collector Insights

Darkness Energy is an Energy-type card from the Pokémon VS set, released on August 19, 2001. Designed by artist Milky Isobe, it is numbered 149 in the set. The card’s flavor text describes a conditional effect where attached Darkness Energy boosts attack damage by 10 against the Active Pokémon, but this only applies if the attacking Pokémon is Darkness or bears the word "Dark" in its name. It explicitly states that Darkness Energy provides itself as a resource, distinguishing it from basic Energy cards. The card’s unique role involves enabling specific damage adjustments through its interaction with other cards. Its absence of listed attacks and health points reflects its function as an Energy card rather than a Pokémon. The set’s release date and artistic contribution by Milky Isobe are notable aspects of its historical context. This card remains a specialized tool for strategic gameplay within the Pokémon TCG.

If the Pokémon Darkness Energy is attached to attacks, the attack does 10 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Ignore this effect unless the Attacking Pokémon is Darkness or has Dark in its name. Darkness Energy provides Darkness Energy. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.)
