Pokémon TCG Pocket introduces automatic Energy generation with new Energy Zone mechanic

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, the traditional Energy cards are replaced by an automatic Energy generation system called the "Energy Zone." This new mechanic simplifies gameplay by producing one Energy at the start of each round, determined randomly if multiple Energy Types are in the deck. Players can assign up to three Energy Types to their decks, but using a single type is recommended for consistency. The game features eight Energy Types, including a special "colorless" category that can utilize any Energy Type. Currently, the only way to gain extra Energy in a match is through the Supporter card Misty, which provides Water-Type Energy based on coin flips. The game does not include Special Energy cards, which were common in the physical version.
