(Also abbreviated as C) The double kind (that provides 2 Colorless Energy) is the Double Colorless Energy card, unfourtunately, it is not allowed in the Modified format. If you see this symbol ( ) in the attack cost of one of your Pokemon, then that means you don't need a specific kind of energy to fill that part of the attack cost. SO if a Pokemon had a cost of GGC you would only have to attach 3 Energy to that Pokemon, two of which have to be Grass (G), the third doesn't need a type, so you could attach a Fire energy or a Darkness energy or whatever else if you wanted. NOw, the cards that only provide 1 or 2 of these C energy only count as 2 C Energy, nothing else. -------------------- Best Decks Kurai Tsuki no Kokoro Dark Ampharos/Dark Espeon 31-7 Kage Ha!

So i should basicly take my 2 CC cards out my deck right since i cant use them. I only play for fun at the tournoments. -------------------- Rambo From: Cali | Registered: May 2003  |  IP: Logged The Dark Llama Member Member # 75434 posted May 15, 2003 09:37 PM             Yeah, in attack cost means you can use any Energy to pay for it. -------------------- Best Decks Kurai Tsuki no Kokoro Dark Ampharos/Dark Espeon 31-7 Kage Ha!
