Where did you get that?
While possible, right now all we via PokéBeach is:
Cite your sources or consider refraining from commenting. Even if that did turn out to be the case, it means nothing against non-Pokémon-EX, can be bypassed by just hitting something else (including a Giratina that didn't attack), if it is an Ability it is shut down by Silent Lab and in either case attacks like Shred ignore it. Of course it would be more formidable than I have been making it out as being.
Actually there are
Maybe you forgot about Tyranitar EX , Ampharos EX and Sceptile EX. These are non-Legendary Basic EX cards.
Not to mention Emboar-EX and Togekiss-EX will be part of Ancient Origins.
Sharpedo EX, Camerupt EX, Gardevoir EX, Aggron EX, Emolga EX, Skarmory EX...let's just say for the moment pretty much every mega evolving Pokemon to date, bar Diancie EX has been a non legendary EX. Also Hydregion EX, Trevenant EX, Florges EX, Toxicroak EX, Malamar EX, Dragonite EX, the dreaded Seismitoad EX, and Magnezone EX. Combine that with the Ancient Origins ones already mentioned and there you go.
loooooooooool.... what he meant was, aside from the ones that have a mega evolution (Sceptile, Ampharos & Tyranitar), Machamp is the only non-legendary EX in this set.
And no, Emboar-EX & Togekiss-EX won't be part of Ancient Origins...

I have to say, as I am a big fan of this card, I would have much rather seen 3 Regis as new EXs in this set but now that hope is pretty much dead.
The attack is interesting as it is a different kind of lock than the standard Item lock or even Supporter lock. Since Giratina EX is dragon, if the energy cost is 4 or less, powering it up shouldn't be too hard with Double Dragon Energy. (ignoring Enhanced Hammer)

What makes you think we won't get togekiss and emboar is ancient origins?? We always get the cards in the decks that accompany the japanese sets merged with the english sets so i dont see why this would be any different. They just wont have full arts like usual
Also , the reason we have so many legendary pokes in this set is because its based off of the new movie. Ya can't base a set off of a movie full of legendaries , about legendaries , and not load it with legendary pokes hahaha
the last 2 sets have strayed from the normal xy type based themes a little bit to conform to ORAS and now with bandit they are basing it off of the new movie. So i bet after bandit ring things will go back to how they were before primal clash so expect to see alot of new pokes in xy8. ( hint hint.....fire and water support)
That might have been what he meant but that wasn't what was came across.
Not only does Bandit Ring/Ancient Origins have so many legendaries because of the movie but because traditionally legendaries sell.
I do have to agree with Metalizard though that the odds are good that we will not get Emboar EX and Togekiss EX in Ancient Origins. Giratina's reveal gave us the last EX we will be getting. This is from the American description of the set.

Man that sucks if we don't get togekiss and emboar in ancient origins!!.
I don't get why they can't put ex's in theme decks , in english like they do in Japan. Wonder how we will get those 2 in english if we even get them at all.
Oh well i already got the deck and 8 boxes of bandit ring on preorder from amiami hahaha
I'm sure we'll get Emboar EX and Togekiss EX in some form. Maybe they'll break the precedent and release that deck in English. Maybe...well I don't know exactly but there are options.
That would be nice to see them release the same deck here!!
I doubt tins would be an option but who knows.
Im still wondering how they will release mega blaziken and mega swampert in english , it would be cool to see them make a mega collection box like they did with metagross , diancie and absol but with bith mega swampert and mega blaziken in it. Like a double mega box!!
@whirlpoolm51 What Pikachu6319 said. Also, that deck is not tied with Bandit Ring in the first place... It's going to be released like a month later...
It is tied with it... Comes out on the same day. Not a month later.
It comes out the same date as bandit ring.
Almost all japanese sets since atleast hail blizzard and physco drive have had a deck to accompany the main sets. They have always releasd a deck that had to do with thier main sets so the togekiss vs emboar deck is tied with bandit ring.
They have always also included the ex's in the japanese decks into the main english sets but this is kind of a different type of deck than the usual ones
