Crystal Guardians is a set in the EX series. It was released on August 1, 2006. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. Aggron ex is 89/100, in position 89 of 100 on this checklist. Before it is 88 Double Rainbow Energy, and after it is 90 Blaziken ex. The listed rarity is Rare Holo EX.

Aggron ex is a Stage 2 ex Metal Pokémon with 150 HP. In the Pokédex this is Aggron (#306), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Lairon. In this catalog that name is Lairon (#305).

Ryo Ueda illustrated this card. The same name is on 462 other cards in the catalog.

Aggron (#306) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Aggron 1/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card is named Aggron, while this one is Aggron ex. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Aggron list a different HP.

Intimidating Armor is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Aggron ex is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Basic Pokémon can't attack or use any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies. The attack Split Bomb lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Choose 2 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack doe 30 damage to each of them. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Mega Burn is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless, Colorless. During your next turn, Aggron ex can't use Mega Burn. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 4. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Crystal Guardians, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crystal Guardians set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Aggron can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
