It’s time to Terastallize your deck, as we check out the full Tera Pokémon ex cards list! Since being introduced in the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Scarlet and Violet base set, Tera Pokémon have become a big component in the decks of many players, in both competitive and casual play. Tera Pokémon themselves originate from the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Nintendo Switch games, which see players able to use the Terastal phenomenon to transform their Pokémon into a crystallized state. This changes their defensive type and gives them more powerful attacks.
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game (or TCG), Tera Pokémon ex cards have the benefit of being able to ignore any damage being dealt if they’re on the Bench, but quite often they’ll have an Energy type that’s different to their usual type too; this is known as a ‘type-shifted’ Pokémon.
With so many Tera cards making their presence felt, it’s well worth checking all of them out and seeing what’s out there, because the chances are that you’ll come up against several of these when playing the Pokémon TCG right now.

Why Are There So Many Duplicate Tera Pokémon ex Cards?
If you’re not familiar with the way that Pokémon TCG sets are structured, you may not be aware that often, the most powerful or desirable cards in any given set will often have a standard, more common version, as well as rarer, alternate art variants.
For example, the two Charizard Tera Pokémon ex cards above are the exact same card in terms of their in-game abilities, keywords and attacks. The one on the left is the most common version that you’ll find in the Obsidian Flames set, and the one on the right is one of the scarcer, full art variants of the card. In Obsidian Flames, there are four versions of this exact Charizard Tera Pokémon ex!
You’ll also notice that the cards above are type-shifted, as previously mentioned. Charizard is usually a Fire type Pokémon, but the Tera version of Charizard is a Dark type Pokémon, even though it still uses Fire Energy for its attacks.
What Are Stellar Tera Pokémon ex Cards?
Stellar Pokémon are a type of Tera Pokémon that have a few defining characteristics. They’ll always be shown wearing the Stellar Crown (which is also the name of the set they debuted in), for example, and they have a sort of rainbow coloured border that makes them immediately visually distinct from other Tera Pokémon ex cards (though this latter point is not the case on the Hyper Rare, gold variant of the Terapagos ex card, as you can see below).
You’ll also see that Stellar Pokémon have attacks which cost a combination of Energy types, beyond the standard one type/Colorless that most other Pokémon attacks have; these attacks are difficult to use, but they’re more powerful as a result. For example, the Terapagos ex card above has the Crown Opal attack, which costs 1 Grass, 1 Water and 1 Lightning Energy to use, but it deals 180 HP of damage and also stops all attack damage done to the Terapagos ex on your opponent’s next turn, if dealt by a Basic, non Colorless Pokémon.
Are There More Tera Pokémon ex Cards on the Way?
Japanese set Stellar Miracle launched in August 2024, and it brought an entirely new type of Tera Pokemon ex to the TCG: the aforementioned Stellar Pokemon. Of course, as we’ve also discussed, these were translated into English for the first time in the Stellar Crown set. Stellar Pokémon have continued to emerge beyond the Stellar Crown set; Japanese Paradise Dragona set, features them, as does the English language set Surging Sparks. So it goes without saying that yes, it looks like we’ll definitely be seeing many more Tera Pokémon ex, whether that’s in Stellar form or not.
Along with Ace Spec Trainer cards, it seems that The Pokémon Company, with Tera Pokémon ex, have hit upon a visually exciting, mechanically powerful card type that’s shaken up the meta in a really big way. With their devastating attacks, type-shifted surprises and spectacular artwork, it seems that Tera Pokémon are here to stay. Of course, we’ll update this list as soon as more English language cards are revealed, so watch this space!
