'''Metal Energy''' (Japanese: '''鋼エネルギー''' ''Steel Energy'') is a {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} which provides one {{TCG|Metal}} Energy ({{e|Metal}}). This can be attached to [[Pokémon card]]s and used to power [[move]]s with Metal or {{TCG|Colorless}} Energy requirements.
'''Metal Energy''' (Japanese: '''鋼エネルギー''' ''Steel Energy'') is a {{TCG|basic Energy card}} which provides one {{TCG|Metal}} Energy ({{e|Metal}}). This can be attached to [[Pokémon card]]s and used to power [[move]]s with Metal or {{TCG|Colorless}} Energy requirements. Its first numbered print was included in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} expansion.
 
==Release information==
The basic version of Metal Energy was first introduced during the Diamond & Pearl Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. As {{t|Steel}} Pokémon were becoming more prevalent during [[Generation IV]], Metal Energy was designed to complement (and later replace, during [[Generation V]]'s Black & White Series) the {{TCG|Special Energy card|Special Energy}} version {{special|Metal Energy|of the same name}}, which was restricted to only four copies of the card per deck. As such, this basic Metal Energy has received many different prints and releases in order to circulate more copies into the general public.
 
===English===
Metal Energy was included in the first expansion of each Series since its introduction in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} expansion. While the Diamond & Pearl print featured the plain style, the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion featured an exclusive Steelix design originating from the equivalent Japanese expansion. A Mirror Reverse Holofoil print of this was included in the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} expansion. {{TCG|Black & White}} featured a Checkerboard design (originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Cobalion Strength Deck}}), with the main expansion prints returning to plain for the release of {{TCG|XY}}.
 
There are 13 English prints of the basic Metal Energy released during the XY Series. The first is the Unnumbered ©2013 print included within the English {{TCG|Froakie Deck}} of the {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}}, the {{TCGMerch|XY|Series|XY Elite Trainer Box}}, {{TCGMerch|XY|Series|Furious Fists Elite Trainer Box}}, {{TCGMerch|XY|Series|Phantom Forces Elite Trainer Box}}, and in an Energy Pack available as part of the {{TCGMerch|XY|Series|Play! Pokémon Professor merchandise}} when the {{TCG|Professor Store}} reopened on September 23, 2014. The second is the print included in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion. Prints three through thirteen are the 11 prints included in the Bisharp Half Deck of the {{TCG|XY Trainer Kit: Bisharp & Wigglytuff}}. This card was reprinted again in the {{TCG|Evolutions}} expansion using the card layout from the Original Series.
 
===Japanese===
During the DP, DPt, and LEGEND Eras in Japan, Metal Energy was included in many different decks and handed out in both Non Holofoil and Holofoil prints for many different promotional events. The final release of the DPt Era, the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration Random Pack}}, included an exclusive Energy design that remained Japanese only. The first release of the LEGEND Era also included a new design, featuring Steelix and the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and was included in booster packs of {{TCG|HeartGold Collection}} and {{TCG|SoulSilver Collection}}.


It was first released in {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}, as Metal-type Pokémon were becoming much more prevalent in the TCG, much like {{t|Steel|their counterparts}} in the games. Unfortunately, both the {{special|Metal Energy|old Metal Energy}} as well as the {{special|Darkness Energy|old Darkness Energy}}, which were originally released in {{TCG|Neo Genesis}}, were classified as {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s. Being such, only four copies of them were allowed in a legal deck, and combined with their rarity, many players had to go to great lengths to have a deck that even attempted to mix in a few Metal-types. With the new, Basic Energy version of Metal Energy, however, an unlimited amount are now allowed in a deck, though there is no specific advantage to using them, unlike their counterparts.
During the BW Era, this card was released as one of the {{TCG|BW-P Promotional cards}}, numbered 074/BW-P, and was awarded at the July/August Pokémon Center Open Challenge. It was reprinted again in the BW-P Promos, numbered 090/BW-P, as a winner's prize awarded to those who won various competitions at the Summer Carnival from July 23 to August 28. It was later included as a Holofoil BW-P Promotional card in a twelve card random pack released during the September 2011 Gym Challenge, numbered 102/BW-P.


==Release information==
The first release of Metal Energy during the XY Era was in the Froakie Half Deck of both the {{TCG|XY Beginning Set}} and the XY Beginning Set for Girls. Because the Froakie Half deck wasn't giving alternate numbering for guided play, the Beginning Set only includes one print, as opposed to six. A special unnumbered {{TCG|XY-P Promotional cards|XY-P Promotional}} print was released as one of nine possible stamped basic Energies included within the {{TCGMerch|XY|Era|Lawson Limited Pokémon Coin Set}}, a product exclusive to {{wp|Lawson (store)|Lawson}} stores released December 13, 2013. September 2014 saw the release of Metal Energy within the {{TCG|Hyper Metal Chain Deck}} featuring the Deck's Set Symbol. An exclusive unnumbered XY-P Mirror Holofoil print was later released in a twelve card promotional pack available to those who participated in the Pokémon Card Gym tournaments from the month of October 2014 through the month of November 2014. In a later 12-card pack, this time available to those who participated in Pokémon Card Gym tournaments from the month of May 2015 through the month of July 2015, a new unnumbered XY-P print with a horizontal bar design was released.
In Japan this card was re-released with updated art work for the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration Random Pack}} collection.
 
Metal Energy was reprinted as a {{TCG|Secret card}} in the {{TCG|Collection Sun}} expansion.

Metal Energy (Japanese: 鋼エネルギー Steel Energy) is a basic Energy card which provides one Metal Energy (Metal). This can be attached to Pokémon cards and used to power moves with Metal or Colorless Energy requirements. Its first numbered print was included in the Diamond & Pearl expansion.

Release information

The basic version of Metal Energy was first introduced during the Diamond & Pearl Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As Steel Pokémon were becoming more prevalent during Generation IV, Metal Energy was designed to complement (and later replace, during Generation V's Black & White Series) the Special Energy version of the same name, which was restricted to only four copies of the card per deck. As such, this basic Metal Energy has received many different prints and releases in order to circulate more copies into the general public.

English

Metal Energy was included in the first expansion of each Series since its introduction in the Diamond & Pearl expansion. While the Diamond & Pearl print featured the plain style, the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion featured an exclusive Steelix design originating from the equivalent Japanese expansion. A Mirror Reverse Holofoil print of this was included in the Call of Legends expansion. Black & White featured a Checkerboard design (originating from the Japanese Cobalion Strength Deck), with the main expansion prints returning to plain for the release of XY.

There are 13 English prints of the basic Metal Energy released during the XY Series. The first is the Unnumbered ©2013 print included within the English Froakie Deck of the Kalos Starter Set, the XY Elite Trainer Box, Furious Fists Elite Trainer Box, Phantom Forces Elite Trainer Box, and in an Energy Pack available as part of the Play! Pokémon Professor merchandise when the Professor Store reopened on September 23, 2014. The second is the print included in the XY expansion. Prints three through thirteen are the 11 prints included in the Bisharp Half Deck of the XY Trainer Kit: Bisharp & Wigglytuff. This card was reprinted again in the Evolutions expansion using the card layout from the Original Series.

Japanese

During the DP, DPt, and LEGEND Eras in Japan, Metal Energy was included in many different decks and handed out in both Non Holofoil and Holofoil prints for many different promotional events. The final release of the DPt Era, the Movie Commemoration Random Pack, included an exclusive Energy design that remained Japanese only. The first release of the LEGEND Era also included a new design, featuring Steelix and the Goldenrod Radio Tower and was included in booster packs of HeartGold Collection and SoulSilver Collection.

During the BW Era, this card was released as one of the BW-P Promotional cards, numbered 074/BW-P, and was awarded at the July/August Pokémon Center Open Challenge. It was reprinted again in the BW-P Promos, numbered 090/BW-P, as a winner's prize awarded to those who won various competitions at the Summer Carnival from July 23 to August 28. It was later included as a Holofoil BW-P Promotional card in a twelve card random pack released during the September 2011 Gym Challenge, numbered 102/BW-P.

The first release of Metal Energy during the XY Era was in the Froakie Half Deck of both the XY Beginning Set and the XY Beginning Set for Girls. Because the Froakie Half deck wasn't giving alternate numbering for guided play, the Beginning Set only includes one print, as opposed to six. A special unnumbered XY-P Promotional print was released as one of nine possible stamped basic Energies included within the Lawson Limited Pokémon Coin Set, a product exclusive to Lawson stores released December 13, 2013. September 2014 saw the release of Metal Energy within the Hyper Metal Chain Deck featuring the Deck's Set Symbol. An exclusive unnumbered XY-P Mirror Holofoil print was later released in a twelve card promotional pack available to those who participated in the Pokémon Card Gym tournaments from the month of October 2014 through the month of November 2014. In a later 12-card pack, this time available to those who participated in Pokémon Card Gym tournaments from the month of May 2015 through the month of July 2015, a new unnumbered XY-P print with a horizontal bar design was released.

Metal Energy was reprinted as a Secret card in the Collection Sun expansion.
