Condition Details
The centering appears slightly bottom-heavy. Edges and corners look relatively sharp with no obvious whitening from the front view, though a back-side inspection would be required for a definitive NM grade.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for grading unless you are seeking a Gem Mint 10 for a master set. The value increase for an Uncommon energy card rarely justifies the grading fees unless it achieves the highest possible grade.
Card Description
Damage done by attacks to the Pokémon that Metal Energy is attached to is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Ignore this effect if the Pokémon that Metal Energy is attached to isn't Metal type. Metal Energy provides Metal Energy. (Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.)
Notable Features
This is the 'Special' version of Metal Energy, distinct from basic Metal energy by its damage reduction effect. It features the Diamond & Pearl era card border and layout.
Authentication Notes
The font styles, copyright dates (2008), and illustration credit (Takumi Akabane) match authentic Stormfront prints. The yellow border saturation and energy symbol placement are consistent with genuine cards.
