What are Colorless Energy Cards?
Basic Colorless Energy Cards do not exist. Rather, there are nine different Basic Energy Cards that are used in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) and any one of those can be used where a Colorless Energy card is required.
Normal, Flying and Dragon type Pokémon do not have designated Energy Cards. Moves and attacks for these Pokémon will require a number of Colorless Energy.

The card below is the Double Colorless Energy card produced for the Champion’s Path set in 2020.
Colorless Energy corresponds to Normal, Flying and Dragon type Pokémon, but is also often required by other Pokémon types in addition to specialised Basic Energy. Where Colorless Energy is required it will be indicated by the Colorless Energy symbol:
Lickilicky is a Normal type Pokémon and this is indicated by the Normal type symbol at the top right of the card next to the HP.
The Lickilicky card from the Temporal Forces set has two moves. The Body Slam move requires two Colorless Energy, while Tonguenado requires four Colorless Energy. The retreat cost for this card is also four Colorless Energy.
