Strategy & play
How Altaria ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Light Pulse) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Hits for 140 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Water / Metal Energy to attack — note its own type is Dragon, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- 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 1 — one step up from Swablu; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Altaria ex
- 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 Altaria ex is real?
Altaria 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.
