Collector Insights

Dangerous Energy is an Energy-type card designed for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, featured in the The Best of XY set released on April 21, 2017. It is numbered 168 and illustrated by 5ban Graphics. The card functions as a special Energy card that can only be attached to Darkness Pokémon, providing Darkness Energy while connected to such a Pokémon. Its flavor text emphasizes a strategic role in supporting Darkness-type Pokémon during battles. When the attached Darkness Pokémon becomes the Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's Pokémon-EX attack, the card triggers an effect that places two damage counters on the attacking Pokémon-EX. This ability applies even if the attacking Pokémon-EX is Knocked Out. If the card is attached to any Pokémon other than a Darkness Pokémon, it is discarded. The card’s mechanics focus on reinforcing defensive capabilities through conditional damage redirection.

This card can only be attached to Darkness Pokémon. This card provides Darkness Energy only while this card is attached to a Darkness Pokémon. Whenever the Darkness Pokémon this card is attached to is your Active Pokémon and is damage by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon-EX (even if that Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 2 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon-EX. (If this card is attached to anything other than a Darkness Pokémon, discard this card.)
