The Darkness type can be seen as the "dark" or "evil" type of the game. For example, since the EX series of the TCG, {{TCG|Dark Pokémon|Pokémon with "Dark" in their names}} and Pokémon belonging to [[Team Rocket]], [[Team Aqua|Aqua]], or [[Team Magma|Magma]] would be both of their natural type and of the Darkness type. Likewise, the Darkness type is used on a number of {{TCG|Special Energy cards}}, such as {{TCG|Aqua Energy}}, {{TCG|Magma Energy}}, {{TCG|Dark Metal Energy}}, {{TCG|R Energy}} and the aforementioned {{Special|Darkness Energy}}. | The Darkness type can be seen as the "dark" or "evil" type of the game.
