Kyogre-EX

Description

The Pokémon Dark Explorers Kyogre-EX #104 represents a significant release from the 2012 Dark Explorers set. As a Basic Water-type Pokémon, this Ultra Rare card features 170 HP, offering substantial staying power in the Trading Card Game. Designed by 5ban Graphics, the card captures the essence of the legendary sea king in a format that appeals to both nostalgic hobbyists and new collectors. Kyogre-EX brings distinct strategic options to the battlefield with two notable attacks. The first, WaterColorless Smash Turn 30, allows players to switch this Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon, providing valuable flexibility during gameplay. The second attack, Dual Splash, delivers 50 damage to two of the opponent's Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched targets. This unique interaction makes the card particularly interesting for builders looking to maximize damage output while managing board presence. The retreat cost of 4 Colorless ensures that while Kyogre-EX is a formidable attacker, it requires careful resource management to reposition effectively. Collectors seeking to complete the Dark Explorers set often target this card due to its Ultra Rare status. The 2012 release date places it firmly in the Black & White era of the TCG, a period known for introducing powerful EX mechanics. Finding authentic examples of this card is a key goal for many set builders. Whether you are hunting for the final piece of your Dark Explorers binder or looking to add a powerful Water-type to your collection, this Kyogre-EX card remains a staple of the era. The card's Pokédex number, 382, identifies it within the broader Pokémon lore, adding another layer of interest for fans who follow the creatures' official classifications. It serves as a core piece for any Water-type focused deck from this era.
