Pokémon TCG EX Emerald Checklist: Full EM Set Card List
The Pokémon TCG: EX Emerald set brings the glow of Hoenn to life in cardboard form, bringing the Pokémon Emerald video game directly to the trading card game. Released in May 2005, it is the ninth expansion of the EX series, and is one of a limited number of expansions that were not based upon their Japanese counterparts.
EX Emerald presents some Generation III Pokémon favs and introduces some new elements to the game. It provides a (not-so-welcome) twist on what you might expect when opening your packs, as it was the first English expansion to replace the standard reverse holo pull with a Holofoil Basic Energy card approximately once every three packs.
Big names from Hoenn head up the non-ex side of the set, too. Blaziken, Deoxys, Rayquaza, Sceptile, Swampert, Groudon, and Kyogre all appear as Rare Holo cards, giving fans of the mainline games a chance to collect many of the region’s marquee Pokémon in one place. Two theme decks, Hydrobloom and Wildfire, round things out and spotlight Milotic, plus a mix of Lightning and Fire types for players who like to pick up a ready-to-play 60-card list.
What to Expect in the Pokémon TCG EX Emerald set
Reverse holos span most of the set and feature the EX Emerald logo stamped into the artwork, with different stamp treatments depending on rarity. At the same time, six Holofoil Basic Energy cards
High-end chase cards center on the 11 Pokémon-ex, including Medicham ex, Milotic ex, Deoxys ex, and the full Regi trio, along with the secret rare Farfetch’d box topper card numbered 107/106. These anchor the top of the set for collectors, while competitive players still look back at cards like Battle Frontier as format-defining tools that forced deck builders to rethink their strategies.
For fans of the Game Boy Advance era, EX-era collectors, or anyone hunting for a snapshot of mid-2000s Pokémon TCG design, EX Emerald is a compact but dense expansion that rewards both play and collecting. It brings together many of Hoenn’s most memorable Pokémon, a healthy spread of Trainers, and a quirky pack structure that keeps openings interesting long after the set’s original release window.
