Metal Energy
Oracle Text
Damage done to the Pokémon Metal Energy is attached to is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). If the Pokémon Metal Energy is attached to isn't Metal, whenever it damages a Pokémon, reduce that damage by 10 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Metal Energy provides Metal Energy. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.)
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Metal Energy is a classic defensive tool from Neo Genesis that best supports control and attrition-based game plans, especially in decks trying to buy time while conserving resources. Attached to a Metal Pokémon, it acts like a small but reliable damage sponge, shaving 10 off every hit after Weakness and Resistance, which can turn awkward 2HKOs into cleaner survival lines. On non-Metal attackers, it still offers utility by reducing the damage they deal, making it a niche tech for tanks or mixed-type builds that expect to trade slowly rather than race. The key deckbuilding tip is to pair it with Pokémon that already want to sit in Active and absorb pressure, such as sturdy evolving lines or disruptive walls, so the reduction stacks with other mitigation effects. Since it provides Metal Energy but is not a basic Energy card, it also rewards careful counts in Energy-reliant lists that can exploit Special Energy synergies without overcommitting to them.
