# Metal Energy #80/90 — Undaunted

## Summary

Metal Energy is a special Energy from the HeartGold SoulSilver era, and that damage-reduction clause made it a fixture in Metal decks like Steelix and Dialga, valued as a small defensive edge rather than a trophy. Kent Kanetsuna's name adds modest interest, but demand stays utilitarian. A $0.71 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 3 copies 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 $0.06 out of Scarlet & Violet Energy.
