This set of Pokemon cards has Deoxys, Deoxys ex, Regice ex, Regirock ex, Registeel ex, Raichu ex and even a shiny foil Pokemon Rayquaza card. There are also sweet looking foil card for each kind of Pokemon Energy - so you could make an entire deck out of foil cards if you wanted.

Pokemon TCG: EX Emerald Thumbs Up:

  • The third form of Deoxys.
  • All three Regi-Pokemon.
  • New stuff! Lots of it!
  • You can make a shiny all-foil-cards deck.
  • Pokemon TCG: EX Emerald Thumbs Down:

  • The Regi-Pokemon are weak unless you have all three.
  • The strategy advice for the theme decks isn't very good.
  • Pokemon TCG: EX Emerald Wildfire Theme Deck

    Lightning and Fire Pokemon team up to take on all challengers in this deck. From Pikachu to Torchic and even the mighty Blaziken - these Pokemon are yours to command. Just watch out for Water Pokemon, they'll soak your deck and beat you easily!

  • Mudkip and Marshtomp are awesome.
  • You can cream the Wildfire deck.
  • Lots of strong evolutions.
