- If the Pokemon Darkness Energy is attached to attacks, the attack does 10 more damage to the Active Pokemon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Ignore this effect unless the Attacking Pokemon is Darkness or has Dark in its name. Darkness Energy provides Darkness energy. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.)
