'''Crystal Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ニュートラルポケモン''' ''Neutral Pokémon'') are a type of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They are considered by fans to be the e-Series equivalent of the {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} previously introduced in the later Neo expansions, {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}. However, the Pokémon featured in each of the cards are not [[Shiny Pokémon|alternately colored]] . | '''Crystal Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ニュートラルポケモン''' ''Neutral Pokémon'') are a type of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

Introduced in {{TCG|Aquapolis}}, Crystal Pokémon are identified by being {{TCG|Colorless}} but focus on three particular types of Energy to use in its attacks. All Crystal Pokémon have the Poké-Body ''Crystal Type'', in which the type of the Pokémon changes from Colorless to one of three specified types if the corresponding Energy card is placed on it, for one turn. These types are also emphasized on the card design; for example, Celebi's Poké-Body and attacks focus on {{TCG|Grass}}, {{TCG|Water}} and {{TCG|Psychic}}; the colors green, blue and purple are highlighted in the card background. | Introduced in {{TCG|Aquapolis}}, Crystal Pokémon are identified by being {{TCG|Colorless}} but focus on three particular types of Energy to use in its attacks.

Crystal Pokémon are also not necessarily [[Basic Pokémon]], and are counted as regular Pokémon. While they weren't bound by the one per deck rule like Shining Pokémon, they still featured several Energy for each attack and were quite costly for the effects they provided. | |||
In Japan, these cards were released three at a time over the course of the last three e-Card expansions, but with the hurried release of the English sets and their condensation, {{TCG|Skyridge}} featured six. In both languages, all Crystal Pokémon are secret cards. Crystal Pokémon were retired at the end of the e-Card Series. | In Japan, these cards were released three at a time over the course of the last three e-Card expansions, but with the hurried release of the English sets and their condensation, {{TCG|Skyridge}} featured six.
