Black Kyurem ex #218

Released in the Scarlet & Violet: Surging Sparks expansion on November 8, 2024, Black Kyurem ex is a Water-type Basic Pokémon ex card numbered 218/191. As a secret Ultra Rare card, it features 230 HP and is subject to the standard Pokémon ex rule, yielding two Prize cards to the opponent when Knocked Out. This card represents the Boundary Pokémon, Kyurem, whose Pokédex entry notes that it generates a powerful, freezing energy inside itself, though its body became frozen when this energy leaked out.

In battle, Black Kyurem ex possesses two distinct attacks. Its first attack, Ice Age, specifically targets Dragon-type opponents, leaving the opponent's Active Pokémon Paralyzed if it belongs to that type. Its second attack, Black Frost, delivers offensive power but carries a recoil effect, dealing 30 damage to Black Kyurem ex itself.
