Recycle Energy 257/236

Recycle Energy 257/236 is a Special Energy card from Unified Minds, a large expansion in the Sun and Moon era. As an Energy card it provides the energy a Pokemon needs to attack, with the special effects that set it apart from basic energy, making it a useful piece for deck builders during this period.

This printing carries the Gold rarity, the metallic gold foil finish reserved for the very top of a set. The collector number 257 sits above the set total of 236, which marks it as a secret rare: a card numbered past the listed set size and added as a bonus chase card. Gold secret rare Energy cards are among the harder cards to pull from their expansions.

Collectors look for the Gold Recycle Energy to complete a Unified Minds secret rare run or to collect the gold cards from the era as a focused group. Its gold foil treatment gives it a clear presence in any display, and special energy cards like this hold appeal beyond the play table.
