Summary

  • Basic Darkness Energy cards are stylish and valuable, with some being promos from league events and championships.
  • Unique designs like the Hyper Rare and Super Rare versions add flair to any deck.
  • Specific promo cards stand out due to logos and rarity, becoming prized possessions for collectors.

In the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon TCG, Darkness-type cards easily rank among the coolest-looking—and we all know it’s thanks to that sleek, mysterious black design. Known as the “Evil” type in Japanese, Darkness made its TCG debut alongside Metal in the Neo Genesis set. These two types didn’t exi🦄st in the early days of the game, and Darkness cards correspond to Dark-type Pokemon from the video games (with a few Poison-types sneaking in too).

7 Darkness Energy: 2007-2008 League & Championship Promo Cards - $9.70 𓆉

Darkness Never Gets Old!

Basic Darkness Energy from 2007-2008 League & Championship Promo Cards in Pokemon TCG.

This Basic Darkness Energy is part of the league & championship promo squad—just like the others on this list—but with one key difference: it’s older. A few years older, in fact. But age isn’t the only thing setting it apart. You wo♍n’t need a magnifying glass to spot what’s missing: there’s no “Play! Pokemon” logo, and no “Pokemonꦛ League” logo either.

That’s because back in the pre-2009 era, those logos simply weren’t a thing yet. So while it might look a bit plain compared to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:flashy newer promos, this card bring🧸s serious old-school energy—literally—and a price tag boosted by pure vintage charm!

6 Darkness Energy:🙈 Call Of Legends (94/95) - $10.00

City Lights, Shadow Bites!

Basic Darkness Energy from the Call of Legends set in Pokemon TCG.

This Basic Darkness Energy comes from the Call of Legends set, where—like all the other Energy cards—it’s just a humble common. But don’t let that ♊fool you! Released right before the Black & White 🎶era, this set had no Japanese equivalent, making it a bit of an oddball in the TCG world.

What really sets this card ap💟art is its background: a cityscape with none other than Umbreon lur💧king in the shadows. All Basic Energy cards in the set were printed as Reverse Holofoil, adding a shiny twist. So instead of a boring ol’ Darkness Energy, you’re getting an artsy little surprise—and who doesn’t love that?

5 Darkness Energy: Ancꦇient Roar - $13.91

UR Ready For Darkness?

Basic Darkness Energy from the Ancient Roar set in Pokemon TCG.

This Basic Darkness Energy card is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the hyper rare beauties from the Japanese Ancient Roar set. How do you know it’s hyper rare? Just check out that golden border and the shiny “UR” symbol—it’s not trying to be subtle. You might not have heard of Ancient Roar, and that’s fair—it’s a Japanese set that corresponds to Paradox Rift in English꧟.

Team Rocket’s finest ex Pokemon await!

What makes this expansion extra special is its focus on Ancient and Future Pokemon variants. As the name suggests, Ancient Roar is all about the past, and fitting🌊ly, the only Energy card in the entire set is this one: Darkness Energy. Now that’s prehistoric power!

4 Darkness Energy: Heart Gold & Soul Silver (121/123) - $28.41 💜

Same Look, Triple The Value!

Basic Darkness Energy from the Heart Gold & Soul Silver set in Pokemon TCG.

This Basic Darkness Energy card is basically identical to the one ranked sixth on this list. Same art, same vibe—only difference? That one🔯’s from Call of Legends, while this one hails f🐭rom the earlier HeartGold & SoulSilver set. So yes, the card numbers are different, but the design? A copy-paste dream.

Fun fact: Call of Legends actually reprinted a bunch of c🗹ards from HeartGold & SoulSilver, making this Energy card the original trendsetter. The HeartGold & SoulSilver set also featured flashy things like Pokemon Prime and Pokemon LEGEND cards. And here’s the kicker—despite looking the same, this version costs nearl🉐y three times more. Vintage wins again!

3 Darkness Energy:🥃 Burning Shadows (168/147) - $35.90 🥂

Not Ultra Rare, Just Ultra Cool!

Basic Darkness Energy from the Burning Shadows set in Pokemon TCG.

This Darkness Energy card is a rare secret, which looks like an Hyper Rare—but sadly, it’s not quite there. Sure, it’s got that flashy golden border, but don’t be fooled: there’s no “UR” symbol and no trio of golden stars to seal t﷽he deal. Itꦛ comes from the Burning Shadows set, the third main expansion in the Sun & Moon series.

This Gen Seven set only had three special Energy cards: Fire, Fairy, and Darkness. Sadly, Fairy-type met💜 an untimely end in the TCG world not long after. But don’t worry—Darkness types are still lurking in the shadows, and they’re here to stay!

2 ❀ Darkness Energy: Shrouded Fable (098/064) - $36.33

Three Stars, One Darkness, Infinite Flex!

Basic Darkness Energy from the Shrouded Fable set in Pokemon TCG.

This Basic Darkness Energy card comes from the Shrouded Fable set—but it’s not just that glittering gold border that makes it special. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:This beauty is a Hyper Rare, proudly marked by three golden stars down in the bottom-left corner, like a tiny badge of honor. Pullin🎉g a Hyper Rare isn’t exactly a 🌠walk in the PokePark, and this one is just one of five Hyper Rares in the entire set.

Shrouded Fable also marks the debut of Pecharunt and the return of the Royal Guardians. So yes, this gilded, shimmering Darkness E꧙nergy card looks like royalty—and its price tag definitely thinks it is.

1 Darkness Energy: 2011-2012 League🍬 & Championship Promo Cards - $91.61 🐬

Prestige? Check. Price Hike? Also Check.

Basic Darkness Energy from 2011-2012 League & Championship Promo Cards in Pokemon TCG.

This Basic Darkness Energy card is identical to the one from the Call of Legends set—except for one flashy little detail: the 'Play! Pokemon' logo stamped right on it. That tiny mark of honor, combined with its rarity as a ⛄tournament reward, skyrockets its value to nearl🤡y nine times more than its logo-free sibling.

Basi🐻cally, this card has it all:𒐪 an epic background, exclusive status, limited print, tournament prestige… and a price tag to match. But hey, if you’re not the kind of person who needs their Energy cards to come with a resume, you can always grab the plain version for a fraction of the cost!
