Mega Rayquaza ex is card 120 of Ruler of the Skies, a Basic Pokémon with 180 HP. Its one attack, Mega Burst, costs one Fire and one Lightning Energy, then discards every Fire and Lightning Energy attached to Mega Rayquaza ex and deals 50 damage for each Energy discarded that way. Play it with only the two required Energy attached and it hits for 100. Load extra Fire and Lightning onto it first, and the same attack scales up from there, at the cost of burning through that Energy in one swing instead of spreading it across turns.
That's a genuinely different shape than most Pocket ex cards, which usually attack for a flat number or scale off board state. Mega Rayquaza ex scales off its own Energy investment, so the deck around it has to decide in advance how much fuel to commit before pulling the trigger, closer to an all-in finisher than a repeatable attacker.
Dragonair recycles Energy from the bench
Dragonair is a Water-type Stage 1, evolving from Dratini, with 80 HP. Its ability, Dragon's Blessing, works once per turn and only while Dragonair sits on the Bench: attach an Energy card from the discard pile to your Active Water Pokémon. Its own attack, Draconic Whip, costs two Water Energy for 40 damage, a plain number that isn't really the point of running the card.
Dragon's Blessing is a support piece, not an attacker, built to feed Energy back to whatever Water Pokémon is actually doing the damage. It's the kind of card that shapes a deck's consistency more than its ceiling, worth knowing about even though it won't headline anyone's highlight reel the way Mega Rayquaza ex does.
Pairing the two isn't a coincidence of what got covered here, either. A Mega Rayquaza ex deck wants Energy on the board fast so it can commit a full attachment to one attack, and Dragonair's ability recovers exactly the kind of resource an all-in attacker burns through. Whether that specific pairing sees real competitive play is a separate question from whether the pieces exist to support it, and right now they clearly do.
What Ruler of the Skies actually adds to the app
Two features shipped alongside the card list. Deck sharing lets a player export a completed deck as a code another player can import directly, instead of rebuilding it card by card from a screenshot. Higher rarity pulls raise the odds of landing the set's top rarity tiers compared to earlier Pocket expansions, though Pokémon hasn't published exact percentage figures for either the old or new rates.
Where this lands in Pocket's 2026 release pace
That pace matters more for Pocket than it would for the physical card game: every set adds to the pool a new or returning player has to catch up on, and a monthly cadence means Ruler of the Skies is already one release behind the app's current expansion by the time most players have finished pulling from it.
None of that touches the physical singles market Celeste actually deals in, Pocket is a separate digital economy with its own currency and no crossover to graded paper cards. It's still worth tracking here because the same characters and the same art often reappear in the physical game months later, the way Mega Rayquaza ex already headlined Storm Emeralda's physical print before Pocket got its own version.
