'''[[ | '''[[Type]]s''' play as large a part in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon TCG]] as they do in the [[Pokémon games|video games]]. Both [[Pokémon card|Pokémon]] and [[Energy card]]s can be one or more of these types. Similarly, a Pokémon can and probably will have a Weakness and Resistance to other types. | ||

For example, although {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Golduck|37}} uses {{TCG|Psychic}} energy to power both of its attacks, the attacks do double damage against a Pokémon weak to {{TCG|Water}} because Dark Golduck's TCG type is Water in this instance. | ||
Because of the limited number of types, many of the 17 types found in the games have been combined into one of the TCG types. For example, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type2|Ground}}s in the games are instead combined into the {{ct|Fighting}} in the TCG. However, in keeping with Pokémon tradition, the Weakness and Resistance of certain Pokémon are similar to their weaknesses in the games. For example, even though Glalie is a {{ct|Water}} in the TCG, it is weak to {{TCG|Metal}}, much like how in the [[main series]], Glalie, as an {{type|Ice}}, is weak to {{t|Steel}}. | Because of the limited number of types, many of the 17 types found in the games have been combined into one of the TCG types.

Sometimes, special Pokémon, such as {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} and the like, will have more than one weakness or more than one resistance. Likewise, other special Pokémon may have more than one type, a feature introduced in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion, with Pokémon that were part {{TCG|Darkness}} and part their normal type. Eventually, the EX Holon subseries would introduce {{TCG|δ Delta Species|Pokémon with another secondary type}}, this time {{TCG|Metal}}. | Sometimes, special Pokémon, such as {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} and the like, will have more than one weakness or more than one resistance.
