Read more ↓Darkness Cube 01 is not a Pokémon but rather a Technical Machine (TM) card, a specific type of Trainer card introduced in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Technical Machines in the TCG are typically items that allow a Pokémon to use a special attack for a limited time, mimicking their role in the video games where they teach Pokémon new moves. As an item, it does not possess Pokédex lore, natural habitat, diet, or behavior. It is part of the e-Card Series, which coincided with the release of the third generation of Pokémon video games, Ruby and Sapphire, though the e-Reader functionality was tied to the second generation games. These Trainer cards represent tools or abilities that can be strategically employed by trainers during battles to gain an advantage. The concept of Technical Machines in the TCG adds a layer of tactical depth, allowing players to customize their Pokémon's move sets temporarily, reflecting the versatility TMs offer in the main series games. Its role is purely mechanical, designed to impact gameplay rather than represent a living creature within the Pokémon world.
