Taking the theme of the most recent generational shift in the series, the big news here is an update to the Pokemon EX mechanics that were introduced in the card game a few years ago. In the past only “Basic” Pokemon – the first form in the evolution line – could be EX cards – but with the Scarlet & Violet expansion, that expands to Basic, Stage 1 or Stage 2 Pokemon.
Despite the headlines, the card we’re showing here today is a new base EX card, Iron shoes EX – This is of course based on the new Paradox Pokemon introduced in Scarlet & Violet on Switch. Take a look:
In addition to the EX system changes, fans can also look forward to the new Crimson and Violet expansion pack featuring Tera Pokemon for the first time.
