Pokémon TCG: Platinum Arceus
Stepping out of ancient times comes a Pokémon so mighty that legends say it shaped the Pokémon universe! On November 4th, 2009, 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 will arrive in stores nationwide on November 4th, 2009.
Features of the new Pokémon TCG: Platinum—Arceus:
- Introducing the new Alpha Pokémon Arceus
- Collect multiple versions of Arceus—one of every single Energy type!
- Discover new Pokémon LV.X cards, including 3 Arceus LV.X!
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!
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 Gengar LV.X to the game! With numerous available combinations, the creation of a powerful and flexible deck has never been easier!

Flamemaster / Stormshaper Theme Decks
Make your opponent feel the burn as Fire Arceus unleashes its Bright Flame attack, and keep the damage coming with the Trainer card Energy Restore as you race toward victory! Bring Tangrowth into the equation and inflict some tag-team trouble on already weakened Pokémon with its devastating Swallow Up attack or use Leaf Guard to both defend and attack at the same time. Only those who play with fire can become the Flamemaster!
Shocks are in store for your opponents with this Lightning Arceus-led deck. Vary your Active Pokémon and attacks at breakneck speed with the Alpha Pokémon's Lightning Turn attack and, as if that weren't enough, use the Pokémon Tool Expert Belt to both boost your Pokémon HP and increase the damage...as well as the devastation of your attacks! But beware, pitfalls await the unwary Trainer who allows a Pokémon to be Knocked Out while using the Expert Belt...so shape your storms carefully!
