the other type of pokémon card is an evolved pokémon. basic pokémon are pokémon that have not evolved, and can be played directly onto the bench. in contrast, an evolved pokémon cannot normally be placed directly onto the field; they must be played on top of the corresponding lower-stage pokémon. stage 1 pokémon evolve from basic pokémon, and stage 2 pokémon evolve from stage 1 pokémon. as a pokémon evolves, it gains hp and its attacks change, typically becoming more powerful. pokémon ex cards were first introduced in the tcg set ex ruby and sapphire, and typically have higher hit points than other pokémon, yet award an extra prize card to the opponent when defeated. baby pokémon cards, introduced in neo genesis, are a special kind of basic pokémon that have low hp but attack with strange and occasionally very powerful effects. mega pokémon, introduced in xy, evolve from pokémon-ex, but are a special stage; as such, effects on stage 1 pokémon do not apply to mega pokémon. break pokémon were also introduced in the breakthrough expansion later in the x and y series. variations of basic, evolved, and baby pokémon cards have appeared in many sets, usually indicated with a word before or after the pokémon's name. secret rare pokémon cards are some of the rarest cards. they are usually represented by a shiny holo foil and a gold outline. these cards include shiny pokémon, trainers, alternate-art pokémon, and some rarer mega evolution cards. pokémon-gx cards were introduced with the pokémon sun and moon expansion. these cards have a specific move set at the bottom of their card that can only be used once per game. only one gx move can be played per game, so if there are three different pokémon-gx cards in your deck only one of the three gx moves can be used. introduced with the sun and moon expansion are alolan forms; existing pokémon that have an alternate form with a different design and type.
