'''Dragons Exalted''' is the first set to feature the {{ct|Dragon}} in English, including 2 Dragon-type {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} cards, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza-EX|85}} and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Giratina-EX|92}}. In addition to these two Pokémon-EX, four others were released: {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Ho-Oh-EX|22}}, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Mew-EX|46}}, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Terrakion-EX|71}}, and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Registeel-EX|81}}.

The set includes all the cards from the Japanese {{TCG|Dragon Blast}} and {{TCG|Dragon Blade}} expansions, and their two accompanying half decks, the {{TCG|Garchomp Half Deck}} and the {{TCG|Hydreigon Half Deck}}, whose featured cards {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Garchomp|91}} and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Hydreigon|98}} were later the focus of the English {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s {{TCG|DragonSpeed}} and {{TCG|DragonSnarl}}. | ||

The Secret cards are Shiny Pokémon: a reprint of {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Serperior|125}} and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Reuniclus|126}} from {{TCG|Black & White}} ({{TCG|White Collection}} in Japan), a reprint of {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Krookodile|127}} from {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} ({{TCG|Dark Rush}} in Japan), and a card without an English release of the normal print before it, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza|128}}. Rayquaza's normal print was included in the Japanese {{TCG|Dragon Selection}} sub-set, which had not been released in English by the time the Shiny print was released in Dragons Exalted. | ||

To further enhance these Abilities, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Devolution Spray|113}} from {{TCG|Base Set}} was reprinted with the same effect of {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}'s {{TCG ID|Neo Discovery|Hyper Devolution Spray|73}}'s effect. Related to this, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Golurk|59}} has an attack that can [[Devolution|devolve]] the Defending Pokémon. | ||
Like every set since {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, the expansion features locations around [[Unova]], focusing on [[N's Castle]] and the Unova {{un|Pokémon League}}. This is most evident through the set's artwork; for example, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Houndour|74}} can be found in [[N's Castle]] and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Gyarados|24}} is depicted outside the Pokémon League. These aren't the only locations featured throughout the set as {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Hoppip|1}} is outside [[Dragonspiral Tower]] and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Aipom|99}} is in N's Playroom. | Like every set since {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, the expansion features locations around [[Unova]], focusing on [[N's Castle]] and the Unova {{un|Pokémon League}}.
