Collection: EX

Japanese EX Cards from the Scarlet and Violet Era

Pokemon EX returned as the headline mechanic of the Scarlet and Violet era, picking up the lineage of earlier EX-Series sets and giving collectors a fresh wave of high HP attackers worth chasing. EX cards carry powerful attacks and award the opponent two prizes when knocked out, which keeps them central to both competitive play and modern collecting. This collection focuses on the Japanese print run, so every card here was pulled from Japanese boosters across sets that feed into blocks like Paldea Evolved and Paradox Rift.

Why Japanese Prints Are Worth Collecting

Japanese EX cards tend to show tighter centring and a glossier card stock than their English counterparts, which is why many slab collectors favour them for grading. The Japanese release schedule also produces Special Illustration Rare and Art Rare cards that never make it into the English run, so this is the place to look if you want SAR or AR variants you cannot source from English boosters. Expect to find chase cards such as Roaring Moon EX 124/182, Iron Hands EX 070/182, and Tapu Koko EX 068/182 alongside set staples like Golisopod EX 221/182 and Cofagrigus EX 076/182.

Rarity Tiers and What to Expect

Across this collection you will find Double Rare EX, Ultra Rare full art treatments, Special Illustration Rare alternate artworks, and the occasional Hyper Rare gold. Every card is checked and stored in mint or better condition, sleeved for transit, and shipped Australia-wide with tracking from our Brisbane base. If you are building a Japanese binder or hunting a specific number for a grading submission, this is a sensible place to start.
