Discover the Mighty Arceus!
Stepping out of ancient times comes a Pokémon so mighty that legends say it shaped the Pokémon universe! Now, Trainers everywhere can prepare to harness and wield the awesome power of the new legendary Alpha Pokémon Arceus with the arrival of the all-new Pokémon Trading Card Game:
Platinum—Arceus expansion. Multiple Energy types of Arceus, such as Fire, Lightning, and Grass, will have opponents preparing for the devastation of fantastic new attacks.
With more than 100 cards in all, the brand-new Pokémon TCG:
Platinum—Arceus is available now!
Features of the new Pokémon Trading Card Game: Platinum—Arceus:
- Introducing new Pokémon Arceus!
- Collect multiple Energy types of Arceus cards
- Discover new Pokémon LV.X cards, including 3 Arceus LV.X!
- More than 100 different cards
Fantastic Fossils!
The Platinum—Arceus expansion revives the familiar Fossil Trainer cards Old Amber (89/99), Dome Fossil (92/99), and Helix Fossil (93/99). These cards are part-Trainer card and part-Pokémon—offering extra versatility to all styles of play. In addition, these Fossils start the evolutionary process that ends with excellent Pokémon such as Aerodactyl and Kabutops!
It's All about Arceus!
The Platinum—Arceus expansion is named as it is for a good reason: the Alpha Pokémon appears just about everywhere! There are nine Basic Arceus, one for each Energy type and each possessing its own unique attacks. There are also three Arceus LV.X that can Level-Up any of the Basic Arceus. Add Arceus-specific Stadium and Trainer cards, and you have the makings of an Arceus-themed deck to be reckoned with! Plus, all of the Basic Arceus cards' backgrounds form one giant pattern when placed next to each other, so be sure to collect them all!
A Gaggle of Gengar!
Gengar enjoys huge popularity among Pokémon TCG players, and the
Platinum—Arceus expansion will make sure that this continues by offering a complete set of Gengar and its pre-evolutions! The expansion offers Gastly, two Haunter variants, and two different Gengar. And, as if those weren’t enough, once a Gengar is in play, Trainers will be able to introduce a fearsome GengarLV.X to the game! With numerous available combinations, the creation of a powerful and flexible deck has never been easier!

USE OF COUNTERFEIT CARDS IS STRICKLY PROHIBITED! POINT WILL NOT BE AWARDED TO A PLAYER FOUND USING COUNTERFEIT CARDS. It’s best to have your deck checked by a League Professor if you are unsure if your cards are counterfeit. Decks may not contain more than 4 copies of a single card, as defined by the card’s English title, with the standard exception for basic Energy cards. (20-25 Energy cards are standard in a 60-card deck). Matches are played for 6 Prize cards. Cards from the following sets are allowed:
Diamond & Pearl
Diamond & Pearl—Mysterious Treasures

These cards are exclusive to Pokemon Organized Play and will only be available via tournaments, leagues, and various other POP programs. Players can earn these boosters by earning points on their score card. Players will receive a booster at 110 points, 220 points, and 330 points. The final booster is awarded when a player earns his season Badge. TCM also draws a door prize every week and awards certificates for good sportsmanship.
