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 unique. With some of the best support Pokémon and the ability to utilize the most Special Energy, Colorless has numerous ways to soar to victory!
Support Pokémon
Lots of types have access to Abilities that fill the hand, but only Colorless has Skwovet (Scarlet and Violet). With the help of Swovet’s Nest Stash Ability, Oranguru (Sun and Moon) and Bibarel (Brilliant Stars) can churn through the deck at a blistering pace while saving key pieces for just the right time! And with Fan Rotom (Stellar Crown), setting a board up for success is a walk in the park!
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!
