Flygon gets three ex cards? Selfish git.

So….Flygon ex has the psychic mechanic….and Flygon Delta ex has the sandstorm mechanic? What?

Yeah, it doesn’t make a ton of sense for this Flygon card to have a “Psychic” Power, just like it doesn’t make a ton of sense for the Absol 𝒆𝒙 in this set to have a “Psychic” attack. No Psychic Pokémon ever had Slashing Strike, but there was another Pokémon-ex that had the attack – TMvTA Sceptile 𝒆𝒙, and Sceptile did show up as Sceptile 𝒆𝒙 ẟ in Crystal Guardians.
Maybe I sound like I’ve got a tinfoil hat on right now, but given this set’s Absol 𝒆𝒙 is using the attack of the only other 𝒆𝒙 ẟ, it feels like *at least* these two Pokémon-ex are rejigs/reuses of early drafts of Delta Species ex cards that we probably never would’ve seen, until TPC came looking to propose a new, US-only set to cap off the EX era (and buy them time until DP).
