ACE SPEC card (TCG)

An example of an ACE SPEC card from the Black & White Series

ACE SPEC cards (Japanese: ACE SPEC(エーススペック) ACE SPEC) are a classification of Pokémon Trading Card Game cards first introduced in the Boundaries Crossed expansion.

An ACE SPEC card is a very powerful card, with the caveat that a deck is limited to a single ACE SPEC card, at most, of any sort. ACE SPEC cards introduced in the Black & White Series are all Item or Pokémon Tool cards, but as of the Scarlet & Violet Series, ACE SPEC cards can also be Special Energy cards.

On August 13, 2023, it was announced that ACE SPEC cards are set to return to the TCG in 2024.^[1] During the Kyoto Championships League 2024 tournament held on December 23-24, 2023, more information was broadcast, announcing that ACE SPEC cards will be introduced in the Scarlet & Violet Era with the release of the Japanese sets Wild Force and Cyber Judge, releasing on January 26, 2024.^[2]
