अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Q1 What is the difference between ex and EX cards?
Lowercase "ex" cards (Scarlet & Violet era) evolve from regular Pokemon and give up 2 Prize cards. Uppercase "EX" cards (XY/BW era) were mostly Basic Pokemon. The new ex cards also feature different card designs with the ex label in the bottom-right corner.

Illustration Rares feature extended artwork beyond the normal card frame showing Pokemon in scenic environments. Special Art Rares are even more premium, with elaborate narrative scenes. These replaced the Full Art and alternate art tiers from SWSH.
Q3 Are Scarlet & Violet cards compatible with Sword & Shield cards?
Yes, cards from both eras can be used in Expanded format. However, in Standard format, only cards from Scarlet & Violet onward are legal, following the annual rotation schedule.

The Scarlet & Violet base set contains 10 Pokemon ex, including the three Paldean starters (Meowscarada ex, Skeledirge ex, Quaquaval ex), Koraidon ex, Miraidon ex, Gardevoir ex, Gyarados ex, Arcanine ex, Magnezone ex, and Lucario ex.
