The Darkness type is one of the ten TCG types. It is represented by the color black.
The Darkness type contains all Dark-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Mightyena and Sneasel are Darkness types in the TCG.
Like the Metal type, the Darkness type has its own Special Energy, Darkness Energy. This type of energy affects only Darkness type Pokémon and Pokémon with Dark in their names, and allowed an attack that did damage do 10 more damage.
The Darkness type can be seen as the "dark" or "evil" type of the game. For example, since the EX series of the TCG, Pokémon with "Dark" in their names and Pokémon belonging to Team Rocket, Aqua, or Magma would be both of their natural type and of the Darkness type. Likewise, the Darkness type is used on a number of Special Energy cards, such as Aqua Energy, Magma Energy, Dark Metal Energy, R Energy and the aforementioned Darkness Energy.
