	Games - EX Hidden Legends

EX Hidden Legends is the twenty-first set of cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It comes after EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua and before EX FireRed & LeafGreen. Its symbol is a large dot with six equally-spaced smaller dots surrounding it. This entire setup is within a solid white irregular hexagon. The EX part comes from the Pokémon-ex present in this set. The Hidden Legends part refers to Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, Legendary Pokémon hidden away in stone structures. Its symbol refers to Registeel's face, which is seven dots arranged in such a way.

This set revolves around three concepts: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, as mentioned above; Jirachi, a Legendary Pokémon with the power of wishes; and Pokémon 4Ever with the presence of Dark Celebi. Dark Celebi is the first Dark Pokémon within the "EX" sets and the only one to be a basic Pokémon. This set also continues to introduce Pokémon into the card game. In addition to the Pokémon above, Beldum and its evolution line makes its debut.

As of September 2005, EX Hidden Legends is the oldest set that is tournament-legal; all sets before this one are considered "too old."

Notable cards

Castform
and its variations Sunny Castform, Rain-cloud Castform, and Snow-cloud Castform are not overly powerful, but they are the first group of cards that are interchangeable at any time.

Desert Ruins deals damage to all Pokémon-ex with an HP of 100 or more (which includes most of them). This is commonly used as an all-purpose handicap against Pokémon-ex.

Medicham
saw a lot of use in the 2003-4 World Championships, though it was ultimately Medicham ex from EX Emerald that would overshadow it in the following year's competition. It does damage directly proportional to the amount of cards in the opponent's hand.

Milotic
was used in one of the top four decks in the 2004-5 World Championships. When Milotic is played, the user heals all damage from all Pokémon in play, including the opponent's.

Steven
's Advice allows the user to draw a number of cards up to the amount of the opponent's pokémon in play. While there is a restriction on when one can play this card, it is frequently used.
