# Darkness Energy #104/111 — Neo Genesis

## Summary

Darkness Energy was a special Energy from the first set to introduce Darkness-type Pokémon, and it gave Dark decks a small damage bonus at a small cost. Pulled as a Rare, it was a useful playable more than a chase slot, so collectors treat it as a Neo-era staple rather than a showpiece. At a $7.05 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 21 copies traded, with 702 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.
