Darkness Energy (#8): Rarity & Collectibility
Darkness Energy (#8) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #8/30 of the BW Trainer Kit: Excadrill & Zoroark set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
