==Release information==
Darkness Energy was first included in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion with artwork by [[Milky Isobe]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Gold, Silver, to a New World...}} expansion. In Japan, a print was included in the fourth volume of ''Pokémon Card Trainers'' released December 1999. It was reprinted in Japan in the Totodile Side Deck of the {{TCG|Intro Pack Neo}} and later in the {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansion with a new card layout. This card was first reprinted in English in the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}} with the new e-Card Series card layout. It had altered text that allowed it to work when the Pokémon it was attached to damaged a Benched Pokémon.

When this card was included in the {{TCG|Aquapolis}} expansion, having previously been reprinted in the Japanese {{TCG|The Town on No Map}} expansion, the card text was reverted to that of the original Neo Genesis print. At the beginning of the EX Series, it was reprinted in the {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} expansion utilizing the new card layout, originating from the {{TCG|Torchic Constructed Starter Deck}}. In Japan, a promotional print of this card was given away during the Gym Challenge Spring 2005. This card was also awarded as a prize to those who attended the {{TCG|Pokémon League|Pokémon e-League}} throughout December 2003. The standard prize bears no difference to the EX Ruby & Sapphire print, whereas winner versions have "Winner" in the bottom right corner of the artwork. The {{TCG|EX Emerald}} expansion included another reprint of Darkness Energy, coming from the Side Deck of the {{TCG|Master Kit}} in Japan. {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}}, {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, and {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} all contained reprints of this card, with the EX Holon Phantoms print originating from the Mightyena Quarter Deck of the Japanese {{TCG|Gift Box Mew • Lucario}}. The final reprint of Darkness Energy using Milky Isobe's art was included in the {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansion, which was later released in Japan in the {{TCG|World Champions Pack}}.

A new print featuring artwork by [[Takumi Akabane]] was <!--given away at the 2007 World Hobby Fair in Japan. It was later--> included in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Secret of the Lakes}} expansion. It was later reprinted in the {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansion, previously reprinted in Japan in the {{TCG|Shining Darkness}} expansion. Reprints were also included in the English {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} and {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansions and the Japanese {{TCG|Bonds to the End of Time}} and {{TCG|Beat of the Frontier}} expansions. Darkness Energy was reprinted with artwork by [[Kent Kanetsuna]] in the {{TCG|Undaunted}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Reviving Legends}} expansion and {{TCG|Tyranitar Constructed Standard Deck}}. An exclusive Crosshatch Holo version of this print was a League Promo during the Disc Catch Season of the 2010-2011 {{TCG|Pokémon League}} cycle. It was later reprinted in the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} expansion.

==Trivia==
*Darkness Energy and {{special|Metal Energy}} are the most reprinted Special Energy cards.
*Though both it and Metal Energy represented a type that was eventually as prevalent as the other seven TCG types, only four of this Energy could be included in a deck. This was a major hindrance to the inclusion of Pokémon of these two types in decks until {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} introduced a [[Darkness Energy (Basic)|basic form]] of this card.
===Origin===
Darkness Energy was introduced to provide Energy for Pokémon of the newly introduced {{ct|Darkness}}, which consisted of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon from the games.
