Two new variants of cards are introduced in this expansion: '''Ancient''' and '''Future''', which are both available as Pokémon and Trainer cards. Both card variants feature unique text icons on the top right corner of the artwork, and unique backgrounds adorning the right half of the cards: Ancient cards have a layered {{wp|Stratum|strata}} background, while Future cards have a pixelated background. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies. Ancient and Future Trainer cards have effects that tend to assist their respective Pokémon counterparts. | Two new variants of cards are introduced in this expansion: '''{{TCG|Ancient}}''' and '''{{TCG|Future}}''', which are both available as Pokémon and Trainer cards.
