The '''''ex''''' in the name stands for extra, as indicated by a wide range of attacks that have some sort of additional effect on Pokémon-ex. For example, in the {{TCG|EX Deoxys}} expansion, there is a {{P|Grumpig}} card which possesses an attack called "Extra Ball", which deals additional damage if used against a Pokémon-ex.

'''Pokémon-ex''' are a type of {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They first appeared in the {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} expansion. Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Pokémon-ex cards.


The major difference between Pokémon-ex and other types of Pokémon is that when a Pokémon-ex is Knocked Out, two prize cards are taken, as opposed to the standard one. To compensate for this downside, Pokémon-ex are significantly stronger than other types of Pokémon. In the {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} expansion, Pokémon-ex were basic Pokémon with relatively powerful attacks; however, in following expansions, they had taken on a number of other traits. Pokémon-ex may have up to two Weaknesses or Resistances and a Retreat Cost of up to five. Before the Diamond & Pearl {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wailord ex|100}} had the title of the most HP--200 HP; although now tied with {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Wailord|30}} in the Great Encounters series. Previously cards had a limit of 120 HP, Pokémon-ex ignored this rule and had up to 200 HP.
The "ex" in the name stands for extra, as indicated by a wide range of attacks that have some sort of additional effect on Pokémon-ex. For example, in the {{TCG|EX Deoxys}} expansion, there is a {{TCG ID|EX Deoxys|Grumpig|32}} which possesses an attack called "Extra Ball", which deals additional damage if used against a Pokémon-ex.


Additionally, Pokémon-ex are immune to certain effects: for example, their Poké-Bodies are not deactivated by cards such as Space Center from {{TCG|EX Deoxys}}, but they are also excluded from the benefits of certain cards, such as Sitrus Berry from {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}}, which cannot be attached to them. There are also certain cards that only affect Pokémon-ex, nearly always negatively. The most well known example would be Desert Ruins from {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}}, which requires each player to put a damage counter on each of their Pokémon-ex with a maximum HP of 100 or more between turns.
Pokémon-ex possess considerably higher HP and stronger attacks compared to their regular counterparts. However, when a Pokémon-ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two {{TCG|Prize card}}s instead of one. Some Pokémon-ex may have up to two {{TCG|Weakness}}es or {{TCG|Resistance}}s and a [[retreat cost]] of up to five.


Being a Pokémon-ex affects a Pokémon's name: for example, {{P|Blissey}} cannot evolve from {{P|Chansey}} ex. However, in {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}}, Blissey ex had text allowing it to evolve from either Chansey or Chansey ex. This also occurred with {{P|Scizor}} ex. However, Rocket's Scizor ex is only capable of evolving from Rocket's {{P|Scyther}} ex, not Rocket's Scyther.
Being a Pokémon-ex affects a Pokémon's name: for example, {{TCG|Blissey}} cannot evolve from {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Chansey ex|96}}. However, in {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}}, {{TCG ID|EX Unseen Forces|Blissey ex|101}} had text allowing it to evolve from either {{TCG|Chansey}} or Chansey ex. This also occurred with {{TCG ID|EX Unseen Forces|Scizor ex|108}}. However, {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Scizor ex|101}} is only capable of evolving from {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Scyther ex|102}}, not {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Rocket's Scyther|13}}.
 
Many attacks, Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies on Pokémon-ex are similar or identical in effect to those found on previous cards of the same species, allowing players to continue using popular strategies and tactics while avoiding the need to reprint cards.
 
In {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}, Pokémon ex, along with {{TCG|Pokémon Star|Pokémon}} {{Star}}, were replaced by {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}.
