Considering it is easy to see that Fairy would make ten types become eleven, I changed the sentence to state how many type there originally were.

'''[[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.

Unlike in the games, there are only eleven known types. Prior to the Fairy type being introduced, there were only ten known types.
Unlike in the games, there are only eleven known types. Originally, there were only seven known types<!--:Grass, Fire, Water, Lighting, Fighting, Psychic, and Colorless-->.


Also, unlike the games, when a Pokémon [[move|attacks]], the type of damage it does is based on the Pokémon's ''own'' type and not the type of Energy the attack requires. 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.
