Release information

This section contains old or outdated information, or has not been updated in a while. Please check the content of this section and update it as required. Reason: info on the card's release from the Sword & Shield expansion onward.

The Basic version of Metal Energy was first introduced during theDiamond & Pearl Series of thePokémon Trading Card Game. AsSteel Pokémon were becoming more prevalent duringGeneration IV, Metal Energy was designed to complement (and later replace, duringGeneration V's Black & White Series) theSpecial Energy versionof the same name, which was restricted to only four copies of the card per deck. As such, this basic Metal Energy has received many different prints and releases in order to circulate more copies.

English

Metal Energy was included in the first expansion of each Series since its introduction in theDiamond & Pearl expansion. While the Diamond & Pearl print featured the plain style, theHeartGold & SoulSilver expansion featured an exclusive Steelix design originating from the equivalent Japanese expansion. A Mirror Reverse Holofoil print of this was included in theCall of Legends expansion.Black & White featured a Checkerboard design (originating from the JapaneseCobalion Battle Strength Deck), with the main expansion prints returning to plain for the release ofXY.

There are 13 English prints of the basic Metal Energy released during the XY Series. The first is the Unnumbered ©2013 print included within the EnglishFroakie Deck of theKalos Starter Set, theXY Elite Trainer Box,Furious Fists Elite Trainer Box,Phantom Forces Elite Trainer Box, and in an Energy Pack available as part of thePlay! Pokémon Professor merchandise when theProfessor Store reopened on September 23, 2014. The second is the print included in theXY expansion. Prints three through thirteen are the 11 prints included in the Bisharp Half Deck of theXY Trainer Kit: Bisharp & Wigglytuff. This card was reprinted again in theEvolutions expansion using the card layout from the Original Series.

Japanese

During the DP, DPt, and LEGEND Eras in Japan, Metal Energy was included in many different decks and handed out in both Non Holofoil and Holofoil prints for many different promotional events. The final release of the DPt Era, theMovie Commemoration Random Pack, included an exclusive Energy design that remained Japanese only. The first release of the LEGEND Era also included a new design, featuring Steelix and theGoldenrod Radio Tower and was included in booster packs ofHeartGold Collection andSoulSilver Collection.

During the BW Era, this card was released as one of theBW-P Promotional cards, numbered 074/BW-P, and was awarded at the July/August Pokémon Center Open Challenge.

It was later included as a Holofoil BW-P Promotional card in a twelve card random pack released during the September 2011 Gym Challenge, numbered 102/BW-P.

The first release of Metal Energy during the XY Era was in the Froakie Half Deck of both theXY Beginning Set and the XY Beginning Set for Girls. Because the Froakie Half Deck wasn't giving alternate numbering for guided play, the Beginning Set only includes one print, as opposed to six. A special unnumberedXY-P Promotional print was released as one of nine possible stamped basic Energy cards included within theLawson Limited Pokémon Coin Set, a product exclusive toLawson stores released December 13, 2013.
