The legendary giants have had plenty of cards in the TCG, often referencing each others cards and powering up a {{TCG|Regigigas}} card. They are usually printed in the same sets, though this has lessened with the introduction of {{TCG|Regieleki}} and {{TCG|Regidrago}}. Those two Pokémon are sometimes printed as a duo separate from the remaining legendary giants. When the giants are printed together, their text sometimes parallels that of the other group members. Of them, {{TCG|Regirock}} has been printed the most without the others, being printed alone in {{TCG|Fates Collide}}, {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, and as a {{TCG|XY Black Star Promo}}. | The legendary giants have had plenty of cards in the TCG, often referencing each others cards and powering up a {{TCG|Regigigas}} card.

Of course, Regieleki, Regidrago, and Regigigas did not exist back during the [[EX Series]], which was when the first cards for the legendary giants were printed. The first set with the trio was {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} which contained {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Regirock ex|98}}, {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Regice ex|97}}, and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Registeel ex|99}}. All were {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}, then the "powerful" Pokémon variation of choice. A second set of ex cards released in {{TCG|EX Emerald}}, each with an attack that was improved when a specific other giant, which was also a Pokémon-ex, was in play: {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Regice ex|98}}'s | Of course, Regieleki, Regidrago, and Regigigas did not exist back during the [[EX Series]], which was when the first cards for the legendary giants were printed.

{{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} gave the original trio printings as {{TCG|Pokémon Star}}, which all share a convention of an attack starting with "Final" that gets a boost when the opponent only has one Prize card left. A "regular" printing of these Pokemon did not occur until {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}, which did so with all three having their [[Ability]] {{a|Clear Body}} adapted into a {{TCG|Special Condition}} blocking {{TCG|Poké-Body}}. | {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} gave the original trio printings as {{TCG|Pokémon Star}}, which all share a convention of an attack starting with "Final" that gets a boost when the opponent only has one Prize card left.
