EX Sandstorm (Japanese: 砂漠のきせき Miracle of the Desert) is the name given to an Expansion of cards and Theme Decks for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It continued to release Generation III Pokémon into the TCG.

Information

  • EX Sandstorm contained several cards that were (at the time) not yet available in any other language, making it the first set since Team Rocket (Dark Raichu) to feature English-exclusive cards. Most of the cards later graced Japanese players' hands in Magma vs Aqua: Two Ambitions, with the rest released as part of the Latias & Latios Gift Set.
  • EX Sandstorm introduced dual Weaknesses and Resistances to the TCG, to correlate with multiple strengths and vulnerabilities of Pokémon in the games.
  • This was the first set to feature evolved Pokémon-ex. Some of these Pokémon broke the "120 HP limit" (the highest HP any Pokémon card had featured previously). Wailord ex once held the record for the highest HP on a tournament legal card (200 HP).
  • Wailord ex, the first card to feature five Colorless to Retreat, debuted in this set.
  • In Japan, no Half Decks accompanied this set.
  • This was the first Nintendo Expansion, and first Expansion in a few years, to have an affiliated Prerelease promo card (the last card was released just before Gym Heroes, in 2000). Under the supervision of a revamped Pokémon Organized Play, sanctioned Prerelease events became an integral part of the TCG calendar, and have been held before the release of every Expansion since. The Prerelease card for this set is Armaldo and Prereleases were held on the weekends of 6th/7th and 13th/14th September 2003.
