EX cards, also known as Pokémon-EX, are a special type of Pokémon card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). Introduced during the "EX" series and later reintroduced in the "Black & White" series and beyond, EX cards represent more powerful versions of regular Pokémon, offering enhanced abilities, attacks, and higher HP. However, they also come with certain risks, particularly related to the number of Prize Cards they give up when knocked out.

 

Pokémon-EX cards are powerful and strategically significant in the Pokémon TCG, offering players the chance to wield high-HP Pokémon with strong attacks at the cost of giving up extra Prize Cards when defeated. They have played a central role in competitive play and have paved the way for later powerful card types in the game.
