* {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} were introduced in {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} to replace Pokémon ex and Pokémon Star, and made their final appearance in the {{TCG|Arceus}} expansion. It has the strength, rarity, holographic borders, protruding parts of Pokémon ex and Pokémon Star. They are treated as 'Level-Up' cards, as opposed to evolution, but has the same effects as evolution: the card cannot be played on the first turn or on the turn that its non Leveled Up card is played, and lose any [[Special Conditions]] that were affecting it before Level-Up. However, Pokémon on the bench cannot be leveled up. Pokémon LV.X can still use the attacks and Pokémon Powers of the card underneath it. They had the rarity of Rare Holo LV.X ([[File:Rarity Rare Holo LV.X.png]]). | * {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} were introduced in {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} to replace Pokémon ex and Pokémon Star, and made their final appearance in the {{TCG|Arceus}} expansion.

Both cards must be played at the same time onto the bench, and is treated as one card. However, it is treated as two separate cards outside of play, for example, in the hand or deck.

The entire card is holographic, and the rarity symbol is Rare Holo LEGEND ([[File:Rarity Rare Holo LEGEND.png]]).

* {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}} were introduced along with Pokémon LEGEND in {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} and was last released in Triumphant. They are unique compared to other Ultra Rare cards as their names are regular and have no special game mechanics compared to normal cards. However, they are considerably stronger compared to their regular counterparts, have a different card design (with 'leering' eyes and a special design at the edge of the image border), as well a holographic image and name to reflect their rarity.

* {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} were introduced in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, and has an "EX" in its name. They are all Basic Pokémon, and were all Legendary Pokémon until the release of Legendary Treasures, which saw the first non-Legendary Pokémon-EX cards. Most, but not all, of the cards have a Full Art print as well, where the image covers the whole card. Pokémon-EX have the same rules as Pokémon-ex; they have higher HP than normal cards, and if it is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one. Similar to Pokémon LV.X, the Pokémon 'break' the borders of the image, seeming to 'come' out of the image. An additional special effect is included on the border of each card, based on the characteristic of the card, such as leaves on the border of Shaymin-EX's card. M-Pokémon-EX were introduced in {{TCG|XY}} to reflect the introduction of Mega Pokémon in the games. They had a stylized M before its name, higher HP (breaking the previous HP limit) and more powerful attacks. In terms of design, they were similar to regular Pokémon-EX, but has the name of its attack in the artwork in another language (for example, the English name of the attack on Japanese or Korean cards, and the Japanese name on international releases). In gameplay, they had to be evolved from the previous Pokémon-EX, and doing so ends the player's turn. | |||
