Few Pokémon inspire awe and wonder like Dragon-type Pokémon, and in the Dragons Exalted expansion, they come ready to rule the game! And with a grand mix of all-new Pokémon-EX and a horde of Dragon-type Pokémon to take to the skies and take the battlefield by storm, plus new Trainer cards and new Special Energy cards, you’ll be ready for the roar of dragons and the glory of battle!
Pokémon TCG: Black & White—Dragons Exalted Pokémon Set is the sixth main expansion in the Black & White Series, released on August 15, 2012 (following its Japanese debut as Dragon Blast and Dragon Blade on March 16, 2012). This thrilling set brings Generation V Pokémon and the ever‑popular Pokémon‑EX back into the spotlight, blending the power of Unova’s draconic titans with the high‑stakes gameplay that defined the BW Era. Composed of both Japanese expansion blocks along with the Hydreigon Half Deck and Garchomp Half Deck, Dragons Exalted offers an expansive card pool that will delight collectors and competitors alike.
A show‑stopping feature of the Dragons Exalted Pokémon Set is the formal introduction of Dragon‑type Pokémon. Lacking their own Energy cards, Dragon‑types demand a creative mix of Fire, Water, Lightning, and Psychic energies to fuel their devastating moves—adding a dynamic deck‑building twist. Powerhouses like Hydreigon‑EX and Garchomp‑EX arrive in both regular and eye‑popping Full Art variants, each capable of claiming two Prize cards when Knocked Out. Meanwhile, fan favorites such as Altaria, Salamence, and Dragalge showcase gorgeous artwork that captures the sweeping skies and misty marshlands of Unova’s untamed frontiers.
Beyond its blockbuster Pokémon‑EX roster, the Dragons Exalted Pokémon Set brims with intriguing details that go beyond gameplay. The year 2012 was celebrated as the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac—serendipitously matching this expansion’s draconic theme. Regional collectors may spot a curious swap in Magmortar’s artwork: the original Japanese print depicts it firing its cannon straight ahead, while the English version opts for a more angled, dynamic stance. Even the set’s logo nods to its draconic core, embedding the Dragon‑type symbol within a bold hexagon that mirrors the scales of Unova’s mightiest beasts.
