Energy cards are used to let your Pokemon retreat from battle. This is done by removing the required number of energy cards from the Pokemon who is retreating. Each Pokemon has a retreat cost that usually correlates with how powerful a Pokemon is. Stronger Pokemon usually have a higher retreat cost than weak Pokemon. All retreat costs are colorless, which means that you can discard any type of energy card to let your Pokemon retreat.
If heads, your Pokemon is no longer burned. Otherwise, your Pokemon remains burned until it retreats. When a Pokemon is confused , indicate it by turning the card upside down. Confused Pokemon must flip a coin after they declare an attack.

As such, Dragon ranks among the lowest for Energy Types. While the Pokemon equivalent has tons of resistances, the TCG counterpart lacks this. In the TCG, Pokemon only resist one Type, so their greatest strength in the video game does not carry over. Metal Type Pokemon also bare a weakness to some of the most popular Types in the game, which only hurts its ability to be successful. These are staples in many decks, including ones that only play Metal Energy.
Lightning Types Electric in the video games possess some solid support cards but also have some glaring weaknesses that prevent it from becoming a top tier threat.
Lightning decks generally don't have to worry too much about collecting basic Energy Cards for their Type thanks to their support cards. However, the fact that Lightning Pokemon are all weak to Fighting, one of the most popular Types, leave it struggling a lot of the time. Not only that, Fighting Pokemon are usually resistant to Lightning as well, leaving those Pokemon to fight an uphill battle most other Types don't have to worry about.

While the Sword and Shield expansion discontinued the Fairy Type, its lasting metagame impact is still felt to this day.
