Collector Insights

Shield Energy is an Energy-type card from the The Best of XY set, released on April 21, 2017. It is illustrated by 5ban Graphics and functions as a specialized Energy card with unique attachment rules. The card can only be attached to Metal Pokémon, providing them with Metal Energy while connected. Its flavor text emphasizes its role as a support tool for Metal Pokémon, enhancing their capabilities during battles. When attached, it reduces the damage dealt by opponent's attacks to the connected Metal Pokémon by 10 points, excluding Weakness and Resistance adjustments. Additionally, the card enforces a condition that if it is not attached to a Metal Pokémon, it is discarded from play. This card serves as a strategic resource for players focusing on Metal-type strategies in competitive play.

This card can only be attached to Metal Pokémon. This card provides Metal Energy, but only while this card is attached to a Metal Pokémon. The attacks of your opponent's Pokémon do 10 less damage to the Metal Pokémon this card is attached to (before applying Weakness and Resistance). (If this card is attached to anything other than a Metal Pokémon, discard this card.)
