Card list for the Team Magma vs Team Aqua set

Detailed information

Released during the EX series period, this expansion introduces an original concept: each Pokémon explicitly belongs to one of the two teams. You thus find Pokémon cards identified as belonging to Team Aqua or Team Magma, creating a distinctive strategic dynamic in play. The EX Team Magma set is made up of numerous common, uncommon and rare cards, as well as holographic and ex cards. The "Magma vs" wording appears clearly to highlight the opposition between the two factions.

Features of the set

  • Pokémon affiliated with a specific team

  • Trainer cards specific to each camp

  • Immersive artwork tied to the Magma vs Team Aqua conflict

  • Presence of powerful ex cards in the EX Team Magma vs series

This expansion is highly sought after, particularly used or in sealed version.

Iconic cards of the series

Among the best-known cards of EX Team Magma vs, you will find several notable Pokémon:

  • Manectric of Team Aqua

  • Magneton of Team Aqua

  • Sharpedo of Team Aqua

  • Rhydon of Team Magma

  • Mightyena of Team

  • Cacturne of Team Magma

  • Lombre of Team Aqua

The Manectric card is among the essentials of the set, particularly for collectors looking to complete the EX Team Magma vs series. Some holo or ex versions can reach a high price depending on condition, the card's no. and current market demand.

Appeal for collectors

For collectors, the EX Team Magma vs expansion offers:

  • A strong identity tied to the origin of the Ruby and Sapphire games

  • Unique themed cards hard to find in perfect condition

  • An active market with regular sales

The ex cards and certain rare holographic cards see their price vary according to rarity, the popularity of the Pokémon and overall condition. Promo or first-print versions can also attract more buyers. Completing this set often requires hunting for specific cards such as Carvanha, Nidoran, Bagon or Baltoy, which may seem common but become harder to find in new condition.

Strategic appeal in play

In play, the cards of this expansion allow you to build decks centred on a single team. The synergies between Pokémon of the same faction bring an original tactical dimension. The Trainers dedicated to Team Aqua or Team Magma reinforce these strategies and can surprise opponents in friendly tournaments or retro formats. The ex cards of this EX series remain appreciated for their raw power. This expansion remains a cult set of the EX block today, both for its concept and for the nostalgia it evokes among Pokémon fans.
