{{samename|"Ancient Trait" card attribute introduced in the {{TCG|Primal Clash}} expansion|Ancient Trait}}

----

'''Ancient''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|古代|こだい}}''' ''Ancient'') is a category of cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] first introduced in the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion, mainly revolving around the ancient [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} games; those released in previous expansions do not have the Ancient category. It is the counterpart of the {{TCG|Future}} cards and can be considered a spiritual successor to the {{TCG|Single Strike style}} category of cards from the Sword & Shield series.

Ancient cards are distinguished by a stony '''''Ancient''''' label superimposed on the top right corner of the card art, and a layered {{wp|strata}} background adorning the entire right half of the card. Ancient cards are available as Pokémon and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s; Ancient Pokémon tend to have direct {{TCG|attack}}s that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Certain attacks, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} and Trainer cards interact specifically with Ancient cards.
