Prehistoric Power

Charge into battle with the raw ancient power of Koraidon ex and its Dino Cry Ability. It can be difficult to get Energy into the discard pile in order to use this Ability, but Revavroom's Rumbling Engine Ability is a great way to do that while also drawing cards! Ordinarily, Koraidon's Rampaging Fang attack would be difficult to use for 3 and 1 Energy, but with Revavroom discarding Energy and Koraidon ex accelerating that same Energy, it will be ready to go in no time.

Futuristic Flash

Set up in a flash with the Legendary Pokémon Miraidon making its Pokémon TCG debut as Miraidon ex. Miraidon ex's Tandem Unit Ability allows you to search your deck for up to 2 Basic Pokémon and put them onto your Bench. To really get your game plan up and running, charge up attackers like Magnezone ex and Miraidon ex by using the powerful Item card Electric Generator—this Item card lets you look at the top 5 cards of your deck and attach up to 2 Basic Energy cards found there to your Benched Pokémon however you like.

Pokémon ex are back and stronger than ever!

Pokémon ex originally debuted almost 20 years ago in EX Ruby & Sapphire and were a mainstay in the Pokémon TCG until EX Power Keepers in 2007. Now they're back in Scarlet & Violet, and while they may look a bit different, they maintain the essence of the original mechanic—powerful two-Prize Pokémon that can also evolve from one-Prize Pokémon. Pokémon ex look similar to the more recent Pokémon-EX from the Black & White Series and the XY Series, but Pokémon-EX were almost always Basic Pokémon, while Pokémon ex can appear at any stage of Evolution!

Pokémon ex are not only powerful, they grant flexibility. Since Pokémon ex can evolve from Pokémon that only give up one Prize card, they provide an extra layer to deck building and how you approach your game-winning strategy! If you need high HP and sheer power, Lechonk can evolve into Oinkologne ex. However, if you need to avoid giving up more than one Prize card, you also have the option of evolving Lechonk into Oinkologne.

Paldea's Terastal Phenomenon

The Paldea region is home to the Terastal phenomenon, which gives Pokémon a shimmering, crystalline look and an ornate jewel upon their heads—strengthening the Pokémon as they shine bright on the battlefield. In the Pokémon TCG, Tera Pokémon don the same ornate jewel, strengthening their resolve and making them immune to attack damage while they're on the Bench.

Growing Up with Gardevoir

Bonds made with Pokémon can last a lifetime. In this series of cards, artist Jiro Sasumo illustrates the familial bond between a woman and her lifelong Pokémon partner. The family moves into a household, and Ralts accompanies its Trainer and her spouse as they grow together in an ever-changing home. From newlyweds building a home to elderly people spending their days knitting, Ralts grows and evolves alongside them from Ralts, to Kirlia, and finally Gardevoir.
