*EX Dragon was the first expansion to feature cards with {{TCG|Colorless}} as a Weakness or Resistance, primarily to accommodate the influx of Dragon Pokémon included in this expansion. Prior to the introduction of the {{ct|Dragon}} in the TCG, Dragon Pokémon were typically Colorless, therefore the change was necessary to correctly correlate damage calculation in the TCG with the main series games, as Dragon-type Pokémon are vulnerable to Dragon-type attacks.

*A few cards from the {{TCG|Gift Box}} were included in this expansion, meaning the gap between their Japanese and English release was only 1 week. With the inclusion of the EX Dragon Prereleases however, these cards were also available in English first, similar to a number of cards from {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}}.

*EX Dragon was also the first expansion since {{TCG|Skyridge}} to include [[box topper]]s. Unlike previous box toppers, these cards are regular-sized and appear as secret cards as part of the expansion. These cards are {{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Charmander|98}}, {{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Charmeleon|99}}, and {{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Charizard|100}}.
