# Darkness Energy #142/147 — Aquapolis

## Summary

Darkness Energy was a special Energy that gave Dark attackers a small damage bump, with recoil for anyone not Dark, so it suited dedicated Dark decks. As a mid-tier Rare in a late e-Card set, it draws set completionists more than speculators. At an $11 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, with 134 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Scarlet & Violet Energy; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
