Status: Released (May 2013)

Freeze the Opposition with Black & White—Plasma Freeze

The icy grip of Team Plasma tightened on May 8, 2013, with the release of Black & White—Plasma Freeze. As the ninth expansion in the Black & White series, this set brought the chilly narrative of *Pokémon Black 2* and *White 2* to life, featuring cards depicting Team Plasma's assault on Unova. Black & White—Plasma Freeze is famous for its powerful Team Plasma Pokémon like Thundurus-EX and Deoxys-EX, which worked together to create rapid, high-damage strategies that dominated the game.

The Power of Team Plasma Decks

The synergy in Black & White—Plasma Freeze was unmatched. Thundurus-EX’s "Raiden Knuckle" allowed players to accelerate energy from the discard pile, while Deoxys-EX’s ability boosted the damage of all Team Plasma Pokémon, creating a perfect offensive engine. The set also introduced the Life Dew ACE SPEC, a tool that prevented opponents from taking prize cards, and the Ultra Ball secret rare—arguably the most iconic gold card of the era. With its powerful legendary Pokémon like Latios-EX and Latias-EX, Black & White—Plasma Freeze remains a favorite for its competitive depth and stunning full-art designs.
