# Darkness Energy #9/30 — BW trainer Kit (Zoroark)

## Summary

Darkness Energy comes from a Zoroark trainer kit, a starter-style product built so newcomers could sit down and play. Basic Energy like this exists to fuel a deck rather than to be hunted, so it lives in bulk boxes, and only completists of the kit ever go looking. A $0.74 modelled guide, up 48% over 30 days on 1 copy traded, says bulk, with 30 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.16 out of Scarlet & Violet Energy.
