I just noticed this... Darkness Energy states:
"If the pokémon Darkness Energy is attached to attacks, the attack does 10 more damage to the active pokémon (before applying weakness and resistance.) Ignore this effect unless the Attacking pokémon is [D] or has Dark in its name. Darkness Energy provides [D] Energy. (Doesn't count as a basic energy card.)"
Well, Metal Energy's effects are still after weakness/resistance, and since it's a Nintendo card we can't get an official ruling or anything, so any thoughts on whether it's a mistake or did they mean to change it?

This is only speculation, NO GOOD asking us for an official word.
Time will tell how we get official rulings.
Play as written... except at DCI tourneys.

If anyone could remember one of the new rules for Pokemon TCG under Nintendo rules , the effects of metal and darknrss energy cards are applied only to dark type and metal type pokemon respectively and not for the other types.
When the TCG goes to Nintendo, these rulings are now applied for all printed sets of the energy cards. (Check the R&S rule book if you have one).
However, if you are playing a DCI-sanction type or Wizards the old rules still apply.
To avoid confusion use the dark and metal cards for the previous sets. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

In the new Nintendo rulebook the sequence for calculating damage is specified on page 17.
I don't have a link but here is a summary...
a) start with base damage
b) figure out effects on attacking pokémon. eg Darkness energy or Ralt's Link Blast.
stop if the result is zero
c) apply weakness
d) apply resistance
e) figure out effects from trainers and energy cards on the defending pokémon
f) apply effects from defending pokemons last attack. apply pokemon powers on defending
g) place the damage
h) do everything else after the damage.
-------------
so placing a dark energy on a dark pokémon increases the base damage by 10. Being weak to Darkness types could be much like being weak to fighting (Tyrogue) in the current environment ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Oh my GOD, it's THE DEUCE! How's it going THE DEUCE? Really THE DEUCE? That's GREAT THE DEUCE.
I don't think it's a mistake. It's kinda cool, it means if you beat up with Sneasel ex with 2 darkness against a psychic pokemon, and get 2 heads... you do 40 + 20 x 2 = 120. Normally, that'd only be 100... I think Nintendo meant for it to be that way (it actually is a lot less confusing). It simply adds to the base damage of the attack now.
