Ruling Salamence question

[shadoworganoid]

I just want to double check something.

In an unlimited format, can I level up this Salamence;

Then, can I Level up salamence ex into the salamence Lv X???
(im not sure if the ex part counts as the name or not)

The image doesn't show up, but if you're asking if you can level up a Salamence ex into a Salamence LV.X?

The answer is no. '-ex' is part of the card name.
