Attacker

Strategy & play

How Charizard ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

Its main attack (Explosive Vortex) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
Hits for 330 — one-shots virtually anything in the format.
Needs Fire Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Fire type, weak to Water ×2 — a Water attacker doing ≥165 effectively one-shots it.
A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Charmeleon first).

How to beat Charizard ex

Exploit its Water weakness — ≥165 damage one-shots it.
Gust it before the evolution is set up.
It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Charizard ex is real?

Charizard ex is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
