- If you were looking for the "Ancient" category of cards introduced in the Paradox Rift expansion, see Ancient (TCG).
Ancient Traits (Japanese: 古代能力 Ancient Power) are special attributes on certain Pokémon, which first appeared in the Primal Clash expansion. They are not Abilities, and as such, effects that remove Abilities from Pokémon (such as Wobbuffet's Bide Barricade or Garbodor's Garbotoxin) do not affect Ancient Traits. Ancient Traits are not Rule Boxes.
The Ancient Trait bar and text is placed at the top of the card, beneath the Pokémon's name. Apart from Pokémon-EX, cards with an Ancient Trait have artwork that differs from normal cards— the artwork extends down into the text box. The art fades into a colored box for the bottom quarter of the card, with the color depending on the Pokémon's type. As the artwork takes up most of the space on the card, the Pokédex information for Pokémon (the Pokédex number, species, height and weight) is not included on the card. The Pokédex entry, however, is still present.
A Pokémon's Ancient Trait does not depend on its type or rarity, though the Ancient Traits Δ Wild and θ Max are only on Pokémon-EX cards depicting the super-ancient Pokémon.
Whenever a non-Pokémon-EX card with an Ancient Trait appeared in a TCG set, a regular and usually weaker card of the same Pokémon was released as well. Many of their attacks also take advantage of its Ancient Trait, For example, the Kingdra and Primal Kyogre-EX in Primal Clash have attacks that remove Energy cards from themselves. These cards have α Growth, which allows the player to attach two Energy cards to them in the same turn. This effect makes it easier to supply those Pokémon with the Energy required to repeatedly use their attacks.
