===Energy type===
{{main|Type (TCG)}}
There are eleven '''Energy types''': {{TCG|Grass}} {{e|Grass}}, {{TCG|Fire}} {{e|Fire}}, {{TCG|Water}} {{e|Water}}, {{TCG|Lightning}} {{e|Lightning}}, {{TCG|Fighting}} {{e|Fighting}}, {{TCG|Psychic}} {{e|Psychic}}, {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} {{e|Darkness}}, {{TCG|Metal}} {{e|Metal}}, {{TCG|Dragon}} {{e|Dragon}}, and {{TCG|Fairy}} {{e|Fairy}}. In the past, these were called '''Pokémon types'''.  Both [[#Energy card|Energy]] and [[#Pokémon|Pokémon]] have types.  When a Pokémon [[#Attack|Attacks]], the [[#Damage|Damage]] it it does to the [[#Defending Pokémon|Defending Pokémon]] is changed if the type of the attacker is a [[#Weakness|Weaknesses]] and/or [[#Resistance|Resistances]] of the Defending Pokémon.

{{main|Pokémon League (TCG)}}
A '''Pokémon League''', often referred to simply as '''League''', is a periodic gathering, typically weekly, of players of both the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon games|Pokémon video games]]. During a League session, players battle and trade for fun. It is typically not a structured [[#Tournament|Tournament]]. However, each player can obtain an official {{DL|Play! Pokémon|Registration|Player ID}}. Event organizers will upload player event play information to [[Play! Pokémon]], eventually resulting in [[#Current rewards|minor prizes]].

{{main|Type (TCG)}}
Unlike in the [[Pokémon games|video games]], there are only eleven known '''Pokémon Types''': {{TCG|Grass}} {{e|Grass}}, {{TCG|Fire}} {{e|Fire}}, {{TCG|Water}} {{e|Water}}, {{TCG|Lightning}} {{e|Lightning}}, {{TCG|Fighting}} {{e|Fighting}}, {{TCG|Psychic}} {{e|Psychic}}, {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} {{e|Darkness}}, {{TCG|Metal}} {{e|Metal}}, {{TCG|Dragon}} {{e|Dragon}}, and {{TCG|Fairy}} {{e|Fairy}}. When a Pokémon [[#Attack|Attacks]], the type of [[#Damage|Damage]] it does is based on the Pokémon's type (not the [[#Energy card|Energy type]]). [[#Weakness|Weaknesses]] and [[#Resistance|Resistances]] are also affected by Pokémon type.
