In Diamond & Pearl, players will explore the never-before-seen Sinnoh region in search of all-new Pokémon like the legendary Dialga and Palkia. With new gameplay—including the exciting Pokémon LV.X that make Pokémon more powerful—new attacks, and even a new look that incorporates Pokédex information for each Pokémon, Diamond & Pearl will take every player to the next level.

The Pokémon TCG: Diamond & Pearl expansion will be available in three 60-card theme decks—Terra Firma, Inferno Zone, and Royal Frost—and in booster packs. Theme decks and booster packs go on sale in stores on May 23rd, priced at $11.99 for the theme decks and $3.79 for the booster packs. Each booster pack features 10 randomly inserted game cards. Theme decks include a unique coin, an updated rulebook, card list, a one-player playmat, and damage counters.



The set is planned for release one month after the new games, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are released.
