Rulings

• On January 16, 2026, the official Japanese Pokémon TCG website announced that this card is to be banned from all sanctioned Pokémon TCG tournaments using the Expanded format, effective February 20, 2026. On March 12, 2026, the official English Pokémon website announced the same Expanded format ban effective April 10, 2026. Medicham V's "Yoga Loop" attack can be used in conjunction with various Abilities and attack effects that place damage counters on the opponent's Pokémon, allowing the player to take additional turns and win the game very quickly, hence the ban. Unlike other Pokémon cards that let the player take an additional turn such as Dialga-GX or Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR, "Yoga Loop" can be used more than once per game; its only restriction is that it can't be used two turns in a row.
