Dark type and colorless

Adding EX Pokémon for Dark and Colorless types would be a fantastic way to balance the competitive scene and give fans of these types more representation. Currently, the focus on EX cards often leans heavily toward other types, especially with iconic EX cards like the legendary birds and Mewtwo dominating decks. Including options like Muk EX for Dark types and Pidgeot EX for Colorless types would bring variety and strategic depth to the game.

Muk EX could embody its toxic, debilitating nature with abilities that focus on disrupting opponents, like status effects or energy denial, aligning perfectly with Dark type’s reputation for control and mischief. Meanwhile, Pidgeot EX could emphasize speed and versatility, offering powerful search abilities or swift attacks, making it a go-to for Colorless-themed decks.

By introducing these cards, the game would not only diversify strategies but also appeal to players who feel overlooked when it comes to their favorite types. It levels the playing field and adds excitement for fans who want their Dark or Colorless Pokémon to shine in competitive play.

    If there was a dark type EX, that would be A W E S O M E but risky. Genuinely, you should have Grimer in your Active Spot first instead of shielding it, since Poison Sludge only costs One Energy, but venoshock costs Three. Even though only Weezing has the ability Poison Sludge, I think Muk should have it too.
    Muk ex would probably go like this:

    Venoshock : Deals 100 damage. If the Opposing Pokémon in the Active Spot is poisoned, deal 100 more damage.

    Like Golurk's Double Lariat but way more trusty.

    I am expecting things to change in the next set.
