An ACE SPEC card has a powerful effect which can completely change the course of a game, such as searching the deck for any card, switching in the opponent's Benched Pokémon, adding large amounts of attack damage or HP, and so on. Due to their power, a player is limited to only one ACE SPEC card of any kind when building a deck. For example, if a deck includes {{TCG ID|Temporal Forces|Prime Catcher|157}}, any other ACE SPEC cards like {{TCG ID|Temporal Forces|Hero's Cape|152}} or {{TCG ID|Temporal Forces|Maximum Belt|154}} may not be included. | |||
ACE SPEC cards were first introduced in the {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} expansion of the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). In total, there are 13 ACE SPEC cards introduced during the Black & White Series, all of which are {{TCG|Item card}}s or {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s. | |||
There were no more ACE SPEC cards released after the Black & White Series (except for reprints) until the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era), in which ACE SPEC cards make their return. The return of ACE SPECs into the TCG format was first announced on August 13, 2023,<ref>(August 13, 2023). "[https://youtu.be/zoWJZ9J1JUI Paradox Pokémon Arrive in the Pokémon TCG]."

These ACE SPEC cards are included in the English {{TCG|Temporal Forces}} expansion, released on March 22, 2024. | |||
Beginning with the release of these products, all ACE SPEC cards have a unique magenta colored design and, when applicable, a unique "ACE SPEC Rare" ({{rar|ACE SPEC Rare}}) rarity in English; the equivalent rarity in Japanese is "ACE" ({{rar|ACE}}). As of the Scarlet & Violet Series, besides being {{TCG|Item card}}s or {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s, ACE SPEC cards can also be {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s or {{TCG|Stadium card}}s. There are currently 14 ACE SPEC cards introduced during the Scarlet & Violet Series, two of which are reprints of cards from the Black & White Series (namely, {{TCG ID|Temporal Forces|Master Ball|153}} and {{TCG ID|Twilight Masquerade|Scoop Up Cyclone|162}}). | |||
