It was first released in ''{{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}'' expansion, as Darkness-type Pokémon were becoming more prevalent in the TCG by this point, much like {{t|Dark|their counterparts}} in the games. This was to counter the fact that both the {{special|Darkness Energy|old Darkness Energy}} and the {{special|Metal Energy|old Metal Energy}}, originally released in '''''{{TCG|Neo Genesis}}''''', were classified as {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s, meaning only four of them were allowed in a legal deck. Combined with their rarity, many players had to go to great lengths to mix in a few Darkness-types into their deck. With the release of the Basic Energy version of '''Darkness Energy''', an unlimited number is now allowed in a deck, although there is no longer a specific advantage to using this version, unlike with the Special Energy counterpart.
