I’m pretty sure it is just how evolving cards typically works, except that you can’t usually evolve ex cards. So it’s an ex card that you can specifically evolve.
The only other ex we have that isn’t fully evolved is Pikachu ex - and you cannot evolve it into a Raichu during battles.
Do people really use the term “brick” to refer to consoles with permanent online bans? To me they’re very different and a brick is much worse.
