Most Pokémon-EX are {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, with the exception of {{|Mega Pokémon|Mega Evolved Pokémon}} Pokemon. Most Pokémon-EX cards have a {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} print. Similar to the {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} released during the EX Series, this variant of Pokémon has significantly higher HP compared to the majority of regular Pokémon in the Black & White Series. When a Pokémon-EX is defeated, the opponent takes two {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Prize card}}s instead of one.

The artwork on the Pokémon-EX cards mirrors the style introduced on {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}: having the Pokémon break the borders of the illustration. They also include special characteristics influenced by the card type and the Pokémon depicted. For example, Groudon-EX features crumbling rock and Kyurem-EX features a frozen card border.
