- Not to be confused with Ancient Trait.

Ancient (Japanese: 古代 Ancient) is a category of cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game first introduced in the Paradox Rift expansion, mainly revolving around the ancient Paradox Pokémon from the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games. Its counterpart is the Future cards.
Features


Ancient cards are distinguished by a stony "Ancient" label superimposed on the top right corner of the card art, and a layered strata background adorning the entire right half of the card. Ancient cards are available as Pokémon and Trainer cards; Ancient Pokémon tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Certain attacks, Abilities, and Trainer cards interact specifically with Ancient cards.
Ancient cards can be considered a spiritual successor to the Single Strike style category of cards from the Sword & Shield series.
