The '''Darkness type''' is one of the nine [[Elemental Types (TCG)|TCG elemental types]].
The '''Darkness type''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|悪|あく}}''' ''Evil'') is one of the eleven {{TCG|Type|TCG types}}.  It is represented by the color black, and symbolized by an exaggerated crescent moon.


The Darkness type usually contains all {{t|Dark}} Pokémon found in the Game Boy games. For example, both {{p|Mightyena}} and {{p|Sneasel}} are Darkness types in the TCG.
The Darkness type contains most {{type|Dark}} Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, {{p|Bisharp}} and {{p|Sneasel}} are Darkness types in the TCG.


Like the Metal-type, the Darkness-type has its own Special Energy which affects only Darkness Pokémon and Pokémon with Dark in their names. It allows an attack to do 10 more damage than usual, if it does damage.
The Darkness type was introduced in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} set, along with the {{TCG|Metal}} type, when the {{t|Dark}}- and {{type|Steel}}s were added upon {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}'s release. Prior to this, there were no Darkness type Pokémon.


Beginning in the EX series of the TCG, {{c|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.
Like the {{TCG|Metal}} type, the Darkness type has its own Special Energy, {{Special|Darkness Energy}}. This type of energy affects only Darkness type Pokémon and Pokémon with Dark in their names, and allowed an attack that did damage do 10 more damage. There was no basic Darkness Energy card until the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set when [[Darkness Energy (Basic)|one was finally released]].


Out of all types besides {{c|Colorless}}, {{e|Darkness}} is provided by the most {{c|Special Energy cards}}: [[Darkness Energy (Special)|Darkness Energy]], {{c|Aqua Energy}}, {{c|Magma Energy}}, {{c|Dark Metal Energy}}, and {{c|R Energy}}. This may be due to {{c|Dark Pokémon}} using the Energy as much as Darkness-type Pokémon do.
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}}.
