Ethan's Ho-Oh ex
Ethan's Ho-Oh ex arrived with Ascended Heroes on 30 January 2026. 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
- It has an Ability, Golden Flame. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
- Mega Charizard X ex runs it in 3 of the 23 lists we have read, seen across 3 different tournaments.
- It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
- Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.
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.
- 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.
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.
| Deck | Lists | Tournaments | Printing listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Charizard X ex | 3 of 23 | 3 | DRI 39 |
When it came out
Ascended Heroes landed here on 30 January 2026.

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.
