Blaziken ex
Blaziken ex arrived with Journey Together on 28 March 2025. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.
What the card itself says
Every line in this block is copied straight off the card. Nothing rounded, nothing judged.
ITS ABILITY
ITS ATTACKS
Printed exactly as it appears on the card.
What to make of it
Every line below comes from a number. Either it is printed on the card, or we counted it on tournament lists. You will not find a score here — you will find what matters when you decide whether to run it.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- 320 HP. Only 1 cards in Journey Together carry more.
- Smolder-sault hits for 200 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Journey Together hits harder for that price.
- It has an Ability, Seething Spirit. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
- Blaziken / N's Zoroark ex runs it in 21 of the 21 lists we have read, seen across 17 different tournaments.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes two Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
- It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Combusken to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
- Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 1,351 tournament lists we have read, 539 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
- Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.
What it costs
We have no price to show you for this card today. The link below takes you where it sells, and you will see the day's numbers there.
Who plays it
We read tournament decklists one by one. The match is made on the set code printed at the bottom of the card, the one the player copied onto the list — never on the name, because two cards sometimes share one.

Where to find it
You've just read a page about the game. We can do far more with one match.
Everything above is about the game in general. The thing we're really good at is one single match: yours. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log — the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Paste it here and we'll replay each of your decisions hundreds of times, then tell you which one actually cost you the game.
It's free and there's no account to make. Your log stays in your browser: your browser is what replays the game.
