Double Colorless Energy (Japanese: 無色2個エネルギー Double Colorless Energy) was the first-released Special Energy card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and as such, is one of the most well-known, especially by older players. It was, until the Team Rocket expansion, the only Energy card that one could only have four of in a deck, however, despite this, it found a great many uses across all kinds of deck archetypes.

Trivia

• Double Colorless Energy was the only Energy card capable of providing more than one unit of Energy until the release of Miracle Energy in the Neo Destiny expansion.

• This was the first special Energy card to be reprinted, though only in the English-only Base Set 2. The first Japanese reprint would be Rainbow Energy.

Origin

• Double Colorless Energy was likely created in order to represent all seven (at the time) of the TCG types with an Energy card.
