Information
EX Dragon is the name given to the third main expansion of the EX Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In Japan, it was released as Rulers of the Heavens, the third expansion in the Pokémon Card Game ADV Era. It is based on Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, featuring Generation III Pokémon and Dragon Pokémon. The English expansion was released on November 24, 2003, while the Japanese expansion was released on June 25, 2003.
EX Dragon was the first expansion to feature cards with Colorless as a Weakness or Resistance, primarily to accommodate the influx of Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation III and included in this expansion. Prior to the introduction of the Dragon-type in the TCG, Dragon Pokémon were typically Colorless, therefore the change was necessary to correctly correlate damage calculation in the TCG with the core series games, as Dragon-type Pokémon are weak against Dragon-type attacks.
