When will we be getting a colorless or dark type ex card?

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.

    Great idea! Adding Dark and Colorless type EX cards would definitely bring more balance and variety to the game. Muk EX and Pidgeot EX sound like perfect choices to showcase these types with unique abilities. It would definitely make the competitive scene more interesting!

    all the ex cards are pretty popular because genetic apex has all gen 1 pokemon plus a few others from different regions plus a colorless ex already exist with wigglytuff ex the only two types that don’t have ex yet are steel dark and dragon for the reason that kanto didn’t have dark types and 3 dragon types and had 2 steel types who are also electric and are more often seen as electric type pokemon and since dark now also covers poison there are a lot of kantoian poison types but for a lot of them poison is their secondary typing meaning they are more likely to be represented by their primary typing leaving few options for poison types and because poison type became way less prevalent in future generations leaving very few other pokemon of that type to support a dark ex pokemon though the dark types even without having an ex are a good way to counter mewtwo so in there own right don’t really need an ex and finally dragon types have always been rarer in the Tcg and always had to use other energy types making it more versatile but since only 1 dragon line exist in kanto it so far has been the only dragon type line to make it in the game but is still a top deck with no ex which I have played some close games against

    To sum it up not all decks need an ex to be good because even though dragon and dark are lacking ex’s they are still be using a fair bit the only type that really needs a boost would be steel which only has 5 cards

    Something not a normal human must have. It is an extremely strange suggestion knowing that the game is brand new and that more content is in fact being created and will be released later. Also missing knowledge like the fact Wigglytuff E X does exist for "Colorless" types. And is very good.

    Also just as a side note of my experiences so far: My dark type deck running Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and Arbok are pretty tough for even Mewtwo/Gardevior decks.

    If you are going to call out someone for "missing knowledge" at least use the correct Pokemon TCG terminology... it's not EX it's ex and it's not star type it's colorless type.

    The entire point of my comment was an analysis that would indicate the post made AI generated. And that the person who posted it didn't bother to proof read it. Go start a fight somewhere else man.

    Cry all you want, but you did edited your post with my corrections... nice that you learned something.

    Good job, lets hope you will keep using the correct terminology in future posts.

    @DoubleCure careful you don't cut yourself being so edgy.
