What it does
If the Pokémon Darkness Energy is attached to attack, 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 2005 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Unseen Forces, represents a significant moment in the evolution of the game's energy mechanics. During this period, the developers were focused on integrating special energy types more deeply into competitive play, moving beyond their earlier, limited appearances to provide strategic depth for Dark-type Pokémon decks. This specific print features the distinct, holographic 'pop-out' border design that became a hallmark of the era's rare cards.
The design of the Unseen Forces set, overseen by the team at The Pokémon Company and illustrated by artists who focused on the ethereal, shadow-drenched aesthetic of the Johto region, aimed to balance utility with visual flair. The card was received by the community as a highly desirable piece, particularly for tournament players who required consistent access to Darkness Energy to power up specific late-game threats. Its inclusion in the set solidified the availability of this energy type, which had previously been relegated to rare promotional releases.
