Overview
EX Hidden Legends, released June 14, 2004, contains 102 cards featuring legendary and mythical Pokemon from the Hoenn region. It introduced the Regi trio (Regice, Regirock, Registeel) to the TCG and featured powerful Stadium and Supporter trainer cards.
Best for
- Collectors building early modern EX sets and learning reverse-holo rows
- collectors pricing Hidden Legends (2004, 102 cards) as EX-era cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
- people building around Metagross ex / Regice ex without pretending bulk pays the same
Skip this path if
- you treat every EX as equal liquidity across expansions
- you expect every card in Hidden Legends to carry similar resale (bulk is bulk)
Common mistakes
If you only remember one thing about Hidden Legends: Metagross ex / Regice ex is not interchangeable with every other print of those Pokemon. People still get burned by pricing a regular rare like the EX of the same Pokemon, then argue condition after they already overpaid. Confirm ex5 / the set symbol before comps — “EX-era lot” language is how wrong products get mixed.
What to check first
Verify set membership (ex5) and the collector number against the checklist — same character, different product. Condition pass on Metagross ex / Regice ex before negotiation. Finish with a checklist gap list so you are not “completing” only the bulk.
Most valuable cards
Metagross ex is the headliner, followed by Regice ex, Regirock ex, and Registeel ex. Groudon holo and Kyogre holo are solid non-ex chase cards. The ancient-themed artwork gives many cards collectible appeal beyond their competitive value.
