Dark Celebi, featured in {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} was the first card in the EX Series to include "Dark" in its name, and was included in the set likely due to its close ties with ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', in which Team Rocket member [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] captures a {{p|Celebi}} using a [[Dark Ball]] and uses it to create chaos.
