The '''Colorless-type''' is one of the nine {{TCG|Elemental types|TCG elemental types}}.
The '''Colorless type''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|無色|むしょく}}''' ''Colorless'') is one of the eleven {{TCG|Type|TCG types}}.  It is represented by the color white, and symbolized by a six-pointed star.


Containing a wide range of Pokémon, the Colorless-type covers from the very weakest of Pokémon, such as {{TCG|Rattata}}, to among the strongest, such as {{TCG|Rayquaza}}. All Pokémon which are of the {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Dragon}}-, and {{type2|Flying}}s in the [[main series]] games become Colorless-type in the TCG.
The Colorless type contains most {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Tornadus}} are Colorless types in the TCG. However, many Flying-type Pokémon have not had Colorless cards. Instead they tend to be printed as their other type but with the weakness and resistance associated with a Flying-type Pokémon.


Colorless can be seen as the "neutral" type, as attacks with an {{TCG|Energy}} cost listed with {{TCG|Colorless Energy}} may use any of the other eight types of Energy to count for that Colorless. Due to this, unlike the other eight, there is no {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} associated with Colorless— all cards providing only Colorless Energy also provide {{TCG|Recycle Energy|some other effect}}, or provide {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy|multiple Energy units}}.
Prior to the {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} set, the Colorless type also contained all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Dragonite}} were always Colorless types in the TCG. However, Dragon-type Pokémon are now {{TCG|Dragon}}, though they could still be Colorless if they are part Normal or Flying in the video games like the examples mentioned earlier.

The Colorless type (Japanese: 無色 Colorless) is one of the eleven TCG types. It is represented by the color white, and symbolized by a six-pointed star.

The Colorless type contains most Normal- and Flying-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Rattata and Tornadus are Colorless types in the TCG. However, many Flying-type Pokémon have not had Colorless cards. Instead they tend to be printed as their other type but with the weakness and resistance associated with a Flying-type Pokémon.

Prior to the Dragons Exalted set, the Colorless type also contained all Dragon-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Rayquaza and Dragonite were always Colorless types in the TCG. However, Dragon-type Pokémon are now Dragon, though they could still be Colorless if they are part Normal or Flying in the video games like the examples mentioned earlier.

The Colorless type can be seen as the "neutral" type of the game, as attacks with an Energy card cost listed with Colorless Energy may use any of the other types of Energy to count for that Colorless. Due to this, unlike the other types, there is no Basic Energy card associated with Colorless; all cards providing only Colorless Energy are Special Energy cards.
