Metal Energy is a special energy card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, representing the raw power associated with Steel-type Pokémon. While not a Pokémon itself, it plays a crucial role in powering up these metallic creatures, which were introduced in Generation II with the Johto region. Steel-type Pokémon are known for their high defense and resistance to many other types, often embodying themes of strength, resilience, and industrialization. They typically evolve from or are related to Rock or Fighting types, gaining their metallic properties through various means within the Pokémon world. In the games, Steel is resistant to Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, while being weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground. The energy card visually represents this inherent power source, often depicted with metallic textures and a symbol that signifies its type. Its function is purely mechanical, providing the necessary energy for Steel-type Pokémon to use their attacks and abilities, enabling strategic plays within the TCG.
