The remaining cards are stamped reprints, making them unique additions to any collection.
Mega Heatran ex: A Competitive Juggernaut
Type: Metal
HP: 300
Ability: High Density Armor - If this Pokémon has full HP, it takes 60 less damage from your opponent's Pokémon's attacks.

Weakness: Fire (x2)
Resistance: Grass (-30)
Retreat Cost: 4
Mega Heatran ex enters the battlefield as a tanky powerhouse, leveraging its High Density Armor ability to shrug off damage when at full HP. Its Gigantic Press attack scales dramatically, making it a formidable threat in consecutive turns. However, with a 3-Prize card penalty upon being knocked out, strategic play is critical to maximize its potential in competitive decks.
Lebanne: A Supporter Card with Healing Power
Effect: Flip a coin. If heads, heal 150 damage from your Active Pokémon. If tails, heal 30 damage instead.
Limit: You may play only one Supporter card during your turn.
Lebanne offers much-needed healing support in battles, providing a game-changing 150 HP recovery on a lucky coin flip. Even on a tails, the 30 HP heal can help sustain key Pokémon for extended engagements. This card is particularly valuable in tank-focused strategies, synergizing well with high-HP Pokémon like Mega Heatran ex.
