With more than 100 cards, the brand-new Pokémon TCG: HS—Triumphant expansion is perfect for beginner and intermediate Pokémon TCG players of all ages! Packaged with a holographic treatment, two theme decks—each including one guaranteed foil card—is in stores now!

Features of the new Pokémon TCG: HS—Triumphant expansion:

  • Legendary Pokémon come back in pairs as LEGEND cards—Dialga & Palkia and Darkrai & Cresselia!
  • Amazing new Pokémon Prime cards that include Celebi, Machamp, and Gengar!
  • New theme decks, Verdant Frost and Royal Guard that let players send shivers down their opponents' spines while unleashing devastating attacks with incredibly powerful Pokémon!

Win With the Lost Zone!
Unlike going to the discard pile, once a card vanishes into the Lost Zone, there’s no way for it to get back into play. And in the Pokémon TCG: HS—Triumphant expansion, you’ll find all kinds of ways to send your opponent’s cards to the Lost Zone, removing them from play for good! For example, Gengar Prime’s (94/102) Hurl Into Darkness attack and Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND’s (99/102 and 100/102) Lost Crisis attack both send Pokémon to the Lost Zone! That’s not all you can do, however: Mew Prime (97/102) lets you use attacks from any Pokémon in the Lost Zone, and Magnezone Prime (96/102) lets you do more damage based on the number of Energy cards you put in the Lost Zone! Discover all kinds of ways to use the Lost Zone to help you claim victory!

Pure Energy!
A new Energy card finds its way into the Pokémon TCG: HS—Triumphant expansion, and it aims to help you stay in control. When you attach Rescue Energy (90/102) to your Pokémon, you're throwing it a lifeline: if the Pokémon it’s attached to gets Knocked Out, it goes back to your hand instead of in the discard pile! (All the cards attached to it go to the discard pile, however.) And Rescue Energy provides 1 Colorless Energy, helping you charge up powerful attacks such as Nidoking’s (6/102) 80-damage Venomous Horn attack (which also Poisons the Defending Pokémon) or Bronzong’s (15/102) Legend Ceremony attack, which lets you find Pokémon LEGENDs in your deck and add them to your hand! With Rescue Energy, you’ll get not only useful Energy but also peace of mind knowing that your Pokémon will stay with you, even if they’re Knocked Out!

Back to the Front!
If you find yourself slipping behind in battle, the Pokémon TCG: HS—Triumphant expansion is here to help! There are two Supporter cards in this latest set that work only if you have more Prize cards remaining than your opponent. Black Belt (85/102) adds 40 damage to any attack that affects your opponent’s Active Pokémon, no matter which Pokémon you have in play. And Twins (89/102) lets you search for any 2 cards in your deck and put them into your hand, letting you find exactly what you need. When the chips are down, turn to Black Belt and Twins to help you get back in the lead!
