Special EnergyBeginner to play

What this card does

It provides one Psychic Energy to power attacks.

If your active Psychic Pokemon takes damage from an attack, you place two damage counters on the attacker.

What it does

Horror Psychic Energy

As long as this card is attached to a Pokémon, it provides Psychic Energy. If the Psychic Pokémon this card is attached to is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if it is Knocked Out), put 2 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.

The Horror Psychic Energy acts as a defensive trap. When your opponent hits your active Pokemon with an attack, this card forces them to take two damage in return, regardless of whether your Pokemon is knocked out.

Which deck it belongs in

This card suits decks built around Psychic-type Pokemon that frequently take damage. It works well in aggressive strategies where you want to weaken the opponent's attacker quickly.

Strengths
  • Punishes attackers
  • Protects active Pokemon
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Only works on Psychic types
  • Requires active spot placement
Pro tip

Attach this to a fragile Psychic Pokemon that you expect to be targeted, so the attacker suffers the consequences.

Good to know
