# Darkness Energy #93/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Darkness Energy was a special Energy, so it traded the freedom of basic Energy for a small damage bump, and Dark-themed decks of the Ruby & Sapphire era were its natural home. Rare in this set meant a useful trainer-slot pull rather than a chase, which suits its quiet reputation. The modelled guide sits at $1.51, flat over 30 days on 2 copies traded, with 105 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $70, 46 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
