What it does

Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain

Attach Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain to 1 of your Pokémon SP that doesn't already have a Pokémon Tool attached to it. If that Pokémon is Knocked Out, discard this card. When the Pokémon this card is attached to is no longer a Pokémon SP, discard this card. As long as Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain is attached to a Pokémon, the attack cost of that Pokémon's attacks is Colorless less.

The main benefit is reducing the energy needed to use attacks. This makes it easier for your child to play powerful moves without gathering as many Energy cards.
