Collector Insights

Strong Energy is an Energy-type card designed for use in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It is part of the "The Best of XY" set, released on April 21, 2017. The card's artist is 5ban Graphics, and it serves as a specialized Energy card with unique attachment rules. Its flavor text emphasizes a conditional function: it can only be attached to Fighting Pokémon and provides Fighting Energy exclusively while connected to such a Pokémon. Additionally, the card enhances the attacking capabilities of the attached Fighting Pokémon by increasing damage output by 20 points against the opponent's Active Pokémon. If the card is not attached to a Fighting Pokémon, it is discarded, ensuring its utility is strictly tied to its designated purpose. The card's design reflects a focus on strategic energy support within competitive play. Its absence of printed HP and rarity details aligns with its role as a functional, rule-based Energy card.

This card can only be attached to Fighting Pokémon. This card provides Fighting Energy only while this card is attached to a Fighting Pokémon. The attacks of the Fighting Pokémon this card is attached to do 20 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). (If this card is attached to anything other than a Fighting Pokémon, discard this card.)
