what are the special energy types in pokemon
Energy cards are attached to a PokÃ©mon to power attacks and retreats. Typically, only one Energy card may be played a turn. There are two types of Energy cards: Basic Energy cards and Special Energy cards. There are ten different Basic Energy types: Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal, Dragon, and Fairy. Darkness and Metal Energy could only be provided through Special Energy cards until the Diamond & Pearl expansion set, when they became Basic Energy types.
