→Types of Pokémon: Ah the perfect image to fill that gap! Rebel Clash Coalossal represents game to TCG translation!
(new sentence for reverse holo, off type energy costs for flavor reasons, Energy type adding for Energy cards, reorganized the Energy type changing of Energy section, changed headers so "Types of Pokemon" is second level (Mobile view says that's preferable over making both Energy & Pokemon third level headers)) |

[[File:CoalossalRebelClash107.jpg|200px|thumb|right|{{TCG ID|Rebel Clash|Coalossal|107}} is a card for a {{p|Coalossal|species}} that is {{2t|Rock|Fire}}. This card takes after the Rock typing, but Rock is not an Energy type. Pokemon that are Rock-type are printed as cards of the Fighting Energy type, and this card follows suit by having that Energy type. However, the Ability Tar Generator nods back at the Rock/Fire typing by affecting both Fighting and Fire Energy in a positive manner]] | |||
As an adaption of the Pokémon video games, many details of Pokémon cards regarding Energy types call back to elements seen in the games. The Energy type that a Pokémon card has usually matches one of the types the species has in the video games. For example, {{p|Infernape}} is a {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} in the games, so {{TCG|Infernape}} cards tend to be either {{ct|Fire}} or {{ct|Fighting}}. For the Pokémon in the games that have types do not have a corresponding Energy type, they get cards that have Energy types that their typing has been grouped into, as per the table at the start of the article. One example of this is that {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon from the games get cards in the TCG that have the {{TCG|Fighting}} Energy type. | As an adaption of the Pokémon video games, many details of Pokémon cards regarding Energy types call back to elements seen in the games.
