About the Set
Hidden Legends put legendary Pokémon at the centre of the set. Its nine Pokémon-ex include the three legendary titans — Regirock ex, Regice ex and Registeel ex — along with Groudon ex, Kyogre ex, Metagross ex and more. A single secret rare, Groudon, is numbered 102/101, one above the printed total.

Collecting & Where to Buy
EX Hidden Legends is out of print and trades on the secondary market. Most singles are inexpensive, while the nine Pokémon-ex — the legendary titans and Metagross ex among them — and the secret-rare Groudon carry the strongest premiums.
Collector tip: the value sits in the Pokémon-ex and the secret-rare Groudon (102/101) — check the silver ex borders for wear.
