How Colorless Plays

Colorless Pokémon are the ones every deck can play. Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex's Blood Moon costs five Colorless and does 240, and its Seasoned Skill takes one Colorless off for each Prize card your opponent has taken, so it often attacks for two or three Energy late in a game whatever Energy the deck runs.

Some Colorless cards are whole decks of their own. Terapagos ex's Unified Beatdown does 30 for each of your Benched Pokémon for two Energy, Mega Kangaskhan ex draws 2 cards a turn from the Active Spot, and Eevee ex's Rainbow DNA lets it evolve into any Pokémon ex that evolves from Eevee.

Colorless Pokémon are weak to Fighting, except Flying Pokémon, which are weak to Lightning and resist Fighting.

The Other Types

Grass Plants and Bugs. Grass decks heal, move Energy around and power up off Grass Energy in play, and almost every Grass Pokémon is weak to Fire. Fire Big damage that costs Energy. Fire attacks often discard Energy to hit hard, Charizard is the type's face, and Fire is weak to Water. Water The biggest type by printings. Water covers Water and Ice Pokémon, mixes raw damage with damage counters, and is weak to Lightning or, for Ice types, Metal. Lightning Pikachu's type. Lightning decks attach Energy fast and hit hard for it, Lightning is weak to Fighting, and it hits Water and Flying Pokémon for Weakness. Psychic Mewtwo, Mew and Gardevoir. Psychic decks scale damage off Energy and bend the rules, and Psychic is weak to Darkness or, for Fairy-origin Pokémon, Metal. Fighting Lucario, Machamp and the Rock and Ground Pokémon. Fighting decks hit hard and cheaply, and Fighting is the type the most Standard Pokémon are weak to. Darkness Umbreon, Darkrai and the Poison Pokémon. Darkness decks disrupt, poison and punish, and Darkness hits Psychic Pokémon for Weakness. Metal The card game's Steel type. Metal Pokémon are bulky, resist Grass, and hit Fairy-origin and Ice Pokémon for Weakness; Fire is their problem. Fairy The retired type. Fairy cards were printed from XY to Sun & Moon, were weak to Metal and resisted Darkness, and today's Fairy Pokémon are Psychic. Dragon No Basic Energy and no Weakness. Dragon Pokémon pay with two other types, hit hard, and in Standard nothing is weak to them and they are weak to nothing.
