What it does
If the Pokémon Darkness Energy is attached to attacks, the attack does 10 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Ignore this effect unless the Attacking Pokémon is Darkness or has Dark in its name. Darkness Energy provides Darkness Energy. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.)

Where it came from
The Darkness Energy card from the Ruby & Sapphire expansion, released in 2003, represents a significant shift in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As the first set produced by The Pokémon Company International after Wizards of the Coast lost the license, it introduced the mechanic of special energy cards. This card allowed players to incorporate the Dark type into their decks, a tactical evolution that fundamentally changed the competitive landscape by providing specific power-boosting effects for Dark-type Pokémon.
The design of this card reflects the clean, modern aesthetic that defined the EX series era. The illustration, executed with a sleek, holographic foil treatment in its original print, emphasizes a deep purple and black palette to signify the mysterious nature of Darkness Energy. It was received as a milestone in game design, as it moved away from the basic energy types that had defined the game since its 1999 launch, offering players new strategic depths that remain a staple of the format to this day.
