Like the {{TCG|Darkness}} type, the Metal type has its own Special Energy, {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Metal Energy|19}}. This type of energy affects only Metal type Pokémon, and allowed damage done to it to be reduced by 10. There was no basic Metal Energy card until the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set when [[Metal Energy (Basic)|one was finally released]].
