A special energy card that punishes powerful opponent Pokemon.

Special EnergyBeginner to play

What this card does

This card provides Darkness Energy but only if attached to a Darkness Pokemon.

If your Active Darkness Pokemon is hit by an attack from a Pokemon-EX, you place two damage counters on that attacker.

What it does

Dangerous Energy

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 damaged 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.)

This card acts as a defensive trap for your opponent. When they use a strong Pokemon-EX to attack your active Pokemon, this effect automatically deals extra damage back to them.

Which deck it belongs in

It fits well in decks built around Darkness type Pokemon. It helps balance the game by weakening powerful enemy cards.

Strengths
  • Punishes strong attackers
  • Passive damage effect
  • Supports Darkness decks
Watch out for
  • Only works on Darkness Pokemon
  • Requires specific setup
  • Discarded easily if misused
Pro tip

Keep this card attached to your main attacker to catch opponents off guard.

Good to know

Darkness types are often depicted as mysterious and powerful in the Pokemon world.

Note for the parent

Explain that this card is fragile because it must be discarded if moved to a non-Darkness Pokemon.
