Steel Energy Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Metal Energy #163 is one of the two secret rare Basic Energy cards hidden beyond the main Sun & Moon set numbering, making it a standout collector pull even without featuring a Pokémon character.
Set Lore
Because it is numbered 163/149, this card sits in the Sun & Moon base set’s secret rare slot lineup alongside cards like Ultra Ball and Solgaleo-GX, giving a simple Energy card the same chase-card aura as the era’s headline hits.
In-Game
This card represents the TCG’s Metal type, which was introduced when the Steel type arrived in the Pokémon games with Pokémon Gold and Silver, tying this shiny pull back to one of the franchise’s biggest type-expansion moments.
Cultural Impact
Collectors often call this card 'Steel Energy,' but in the Pokémon TCG it is officially named Metal Energy, preserving the card game’s long-running terminology even though the video games use the Steel type name.
Card History
Unlike ordinary pack Energy, Sun & Moon #163 is printed as a Secret Rare Basic Energy, turning one of the game’s most fundamental resources into a flashy gold-style trophy for binder pages and upgraded decks.
