Prior to the {{TCG|Dragon Selection}} 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 Colorless types in the TCG. However, {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon are now {{ct|Dragon}} cards.
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 Colorless types in the TCG. However, {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon are now {{ct|Dragon}} cards.


Colorless can be seen as the "neutral" type, as attacks with an {{TCG|Energy|Energy card}} 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 are [[List of all Special Energy cards|Special Energy cards]]. In addition, [[retreat cost|retreating]] always discards Colorless Energy if any.
