Metal Energy is a basic Energy card used to power up Metal-type Pokémon. Unlike specific Pokémon species, Energy cards represent the elemental power required for Pokémon to use their attacks. Metal Energy specifically provides one unit of Metal energy, essential for any Metal-type Pokémon's moves. Metal-type Pokémon were introduced in Generation II of the Pokémon games with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, primarily as a counter to the then-dominant Psychic and Ice types, and are known for their high defense and resistance to many common attack types. In the Pokémon TCG, Energy cards are fundamental to gameplay, forming the core resource management aspect of the game. They are not tied to a specific Pokémon's lore but rather to the broader elemental mechanics of the Pokémon world, symbolizing the raw power that Pokémon harness.
