In Standard format, Colorless Pokémon are known for their ability to be splashed in any deck, often fulfilling a supporting role. Not in Gym Leader Challenge! Colorless is its own type, with its own identity and its own set of strengths that make it unlike any other type in Gym Leader Challenge. With some of the best draw Support, recovery and the unique ability to accelerate Special Energy into play, Colorless can easily play into aggressive or control style strategies, depending on your preferred play style.
Support Pokémon
Cinccino and Bibarel are two of the best draw support Pokémon in Gym Leader Challenge. When they are both set up, you can see up to seven additional cards off the top of your deck per turn! Delcatty is essential for control builds, allowing you to recover resources from your discard pile, while Porygon-Z fulfills the role of Energy accelerator in attacking lists with its fantastic Crazy Code Ability!
Attackers
The best thing about Colorless attackers is that they all attack for any type of Energy, making it so that they can all take advantage of the amazing Special Energy printed over the years. Three Energy attacks can almost always be used for just a couple Energy attachments thanks to Double Turbo Energy and Counter Energy. With Triple Acceleration Energy, even massive attacks like Slaking‘s Critical Move are just an Energy attachment away. The most interesting member of this group is Ditto from Pokémon GO, who can copy the attack of another one of your Basic Pokémon!
