Giratina-EX, Mew-EX and Ho-Oh-EX head the card list of Dragons Exalted, an expansion in the Black & White era of the English-language Pokémon TCG. It released on August 15, 2012 under the set code DRX, with 124 official cards and 4 secret cards numbered above that count, for 128 printings in all. Deino, Drifloon, Electrike, Gabite and Garchomp each appear in two versions, and the set leans on Dragon, Grass, Psychic and Water Pokémon, with the dragon line-up giving the release its name and its theme.
The pull ladder in Dragons Exalted runs from commons and uncommons through rares to 10 chase-tier cards: 6 Ultra Rares and 4 Secret Rares, with the secrets numbered past the printed 124. Giratina-EX leads the most valuable cards, followed by Mew-EX, Ho-Oh-EX and Rayquaza-EX, and the Secret Rare Krookodile is the best of the secrets at 5th. 5ban Graphics illustrated every one of the top cards. The top five cards hold 66 percent of the set's total card value, so the chase cards carry most of what this expansion is worth.

A full run of Dragons Exalted means 128 printings, of which 127 are priced. Because 66 percent of the set's card value sits in just five cards, the cost of a complete set is set mostly by the big Ultra Rares and Secret Rares, while the commons, uncommons and rares beneath them are a minor part of the total. Sealed product for the set includes a booster box and a booster pack.
