Cresselia ex

Cresselia ex is a Double Rare Basic card from the Promo A set with 140 HP. Every STAT on this page comes straight from the card record; the expected pack count further down is a statistical estimate recomputed from the pull table, not a promise.

Its weakness is Darkness, which is the fastest way for an opponent to remove it in a straight trade, and its retreat cost is 2 — that is what you pay in energy to swap it out mid-turn, and it is the number people forget until the card is stranded in the active spot.

Its attacks:

• Psychic Flash — 80 damage · cost Psychic + Psychic + Colorless

Read the energy costs together, not just the damage. A card with two attacks usually trades a cheap, weak opener for a pricier attack that does the real work, and the question that decides whether it belongs in a deck is whether you can actually pay for the big one on curve.

This card is not in any openable pack: Cresselia ex is a PROMO card that only comes from events, login gifts or in-game rewards. No amount of pack opening will produce it — do not burn currency on that door.

Because no pack contains it, this page prints NO per-slot pull rate and NO expected pack count for Cresselia ex — inventing a number here would be a lie. The two remaining routes are Pack Points and trading, right below.

For Cresselia ex the "open packs" route simply DOES NOT EXIST: no openable pack contains it, so any pull rate or expected pack count would be meaningless here.

The second path removes luck entirely. Every pack you open awards 5 Pack Points (an official in-game mechanic, not part of the drop-rate table) regardless of what comes out of it, and those points accumulate until you can redeem this exact card outright. Cresselia ex costs 500 PP — no pulls, no gambling, just the count.

The third path is trading, which spends Shinedust rather than Pack Points, and whether it is open to you depends entirely on the card's rarity. For Cresselia ex: It can be traded for 5,000 Shinedust.

Cresselia ex does not evolve from or into anything — it stands alone.

Some Pokémon are also printed more than once — across different sets or promo drops, with different art, different rarity, and sometimes different attacks under the same name. Where other printings of this card exist, they are linked on this page, because the stats can differ even when the name matches.

Cresselia ex is not a core card in any of the 50 meta decks currently tracked. Chase it for the art and the collection, not for the ladder — spend Pack Points on core cards first, then come back for this one.

The meta deck table is recomputed from tournament data (play rate plus win/loss/tie record), not from anyone's opinion. A card missing from that table can still be beautiful and still be expensive to trade for, but it will not win games on its own — those are two different questions and this page answers them separately.

Which pack should I open to get Cresselia ex?

None of them. Cresselia ex is a PROMO card — it does not appear in the pull table of any openable pack; the only sources are in-game events and gifts, plus Pack Points or trading if its rarity allows it.

Roughly how many packs does it take to pull Cresselia ex?

There is no number to give, because Cresselia ex does not drop from any pack — opening more will never produce it. Look at the other two routes instead: Pack Points and trading.

Can I trade for Cresselia ex instead of pulling it?

It can be traded for 5,000 Shinedust. Trading uses Shinedust, and whether a card is tradeable at all is fixed by its rarity tier — Immersive Rare and Crown Rare cards can never be traded under any circumstance, so for those two tiers Pack Points or a direct pull are the only ways in.
