CARDEX BACKGROUND

The role of this Energy

This Darkness Energy provides one Darkness Energy and strengthens certain attacks from its attached Pokémon. The bonus is ten damage against the opponent's Active Pokémon before Weakness and Resistance. It works only if the bearer is itself Darkness type. The card can therefore pay an Energy cost on another Pokémon without granting this offensive addition. Its printed effect clearly distinguishes the resource provided from the condition needed to hit harder.

Background on this Special Energy’s effect; the printed text, edition and finish of each card remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

Printings in this group repeat the type condition: a non-Darkness bearer loses only the ten-damage bonus. The Energy continues providing one Darkness Energy; the text does not require discarding the card when the bonus is ignored.

Printed card text — English

Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.

Printed card effect

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 if the Pokémon that Darkness Energy is attached to isn't Darkness. Darkness Energy provides Darkness Energy. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.)
