What Are Ace Spec Pokemon Cards?

Ace Spec cards are rare reverse holo cards that started back in 2012 from the Black and White: Bounderies Crossed TCG set. 12 years later, in 2024 they’ve made a return in the new Scarlet and Violet: Temporal Forces set. They can also be found in the new Twilight Masquerade set and possibly more Scarlet and Violet sets coming soon.

What Is Ace Spec?

Ace Spec cards are Item Trainer or Special Energy cards. These are found in the first reverse Holo slot, so they don’t take away you odds of pulling a rare. The odds of pulling an Ace Spec depends on the set but in Temporal Forces, your odds of pulling on is about 5% or 1/20. The art on an Ace Spec card differs depending on which expansion you get it from. You’ll find silver Ace Spec cards from Black and White sets while the new ones from Scarlet and Violet are a bright pink.

If you’re playing the Pokemon TCG and not just a collector these cards can also be very valuable! These cards allow players to switch benched Pokemon, increase HP and damage, and allowing players to choose any card from their deck. Because of their usefulness, players are only allowed to have one Ace Spec card per deck.
