Ardex

Ardex (Japanese: アーデックス地方 Ardex-chihō) is a fictional region in the Pokémon world located far west of, and thus plays the Pokemon TCG Card Game. Most of Ardex is carved into the edge of a massive plateau and is bordered on the south by the ocean. Like TCG Island, no wild Pokemon appear, so regional travel is much easier and quicker.

Notably, Ardex plays a very different version of the Pokemon TCG: Rather than only ten Types that go across various Types, the Ardex TCG's cards cover all eighteen main series Types.
