Pokémon Trading Card Game/Energy Cards

Energy Cards:

Energy Cards are the main way a Pokémon can use an attack or retreat from a battle. Pokémon require a certain amount of energy to use an attack. Some moves only require 1 energy card while others might need 5 cards to pull off an attack. The same can apply to energy when you have to retreat a Pokémon. There are 11 main different types of energy cards that a player can use. They are Colorless, Darkness, Dragon, Fighting, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Lightning, Metal, Psychic, and Water. There are also special energy cards that each have their own effects to them. For example, a card can have something as simple as a Double Dragon Energy to something more complex like giving a certain buff to a type of Pokémon if they are under the right conditions.
