A new trading card game mechanic called ACE SPEC that can be used on Black Kyurem and White Kyurem has been revealed. Cards that have ACE SPEC have special rules that allow players to boost Pokémon stats but players are limited to only one card that has an ACE SPEC mechanic in their deck. The Crystal Wall and Crystal Edge Trainer Pokémon Tool cards both feature this new mechanic. When Crystal Wall is attached to Black Kyurem EX, its maximum HP increased to 300. When Crystal Edge is attached to White Kyurem EX, the attack damage is increased by 50 for its moves.
