EX Sandstorm (Japanese: ADV 2: 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.

Set size

  • 100 cards in English release
  • 53 cards in Japanese release
File:EX02-Symbol.gif
The symbol for EX Sandstorm is a Claw and Root Fossil.

Sequence

  • 17th English Expansion
  • 19th Japanese Expansion

Release dates

  • 18th April 2003 - Japanese Expansion
  • 17th September 2003 - English Expansion

Prereleases were held on the weekends of 6th/7th and 13th/14th September 2003.

Trivia

  • 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. Many of the cards later graced Japanese players' hands in ADV EX 1: Magma vs Aqua: Two Ambitions.
  • 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). Wailord ex now holds the record for the highest HP on a tournament legal card (200 HP).
  • Wailord ex, the first card to feature 5 Colorless to Retreat, debuted in this set.
  • In Japan, no Half Decks accompanied this set.
  • This was also the first Nintendo Expansion, and indeed the first Expansion in a long time to produce a Prerelease promo card at a Prerelease Tournament - that card being Armaldo.
