Metal EnergySun Moon Energy Team Up #17 Pokémon Card

Metal Energy is a basic energy card, a fundamental component in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Energy cards are not Pokémon themselves but are essential for powering up a Pokémon's attacks. Metal Energy specifically provides one unit of Metal-type energy, which is required for Pokémon with Metal-type attacks. In the video games, Metal is one of the eighteen Pokémon types, introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, largely to balance the then-overpowered Psychic type. Metal-type Pokémon are known for their high defense and resistance to many other types, often depicted as strong, durable, and sometimes slow. Iconic Metal-type Pokémon include Steelix, Metagross, and Lucario. Their role in the TCG is to enable Metal-type Pokémon to battle effectively, and they are crucial for decks that rely on these powerful metallic creatures.
