Card text

(If this card is attached to anything other than a Metal Pokémon, discard this card.)

Trivia

  • This card later received an erratum to change its damage reduction effect to apply after applying Weakness and Resistance. The entire effect was rephrased as "Any damage done to the Metal Pokémon this card is attached to by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance)."
  • This card is very similar to the original Metal Energy, though this one is slightly weaker.
