Strategy & play

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

Its main attack (Burn Down) needs 5 Energy — a turn-5 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
Hits for 200 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
Needs Fire Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Fire type, weak to Water and Lightning ×2 — a Water/Lightning attacker doing ≥80 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/Lightning weakness — ≥80 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.

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
