Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn

Status: Released (May 2008)

A New Dawn Rises with Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn

The evolution revolution arrived on May 21, 2008, with Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn. This expansion is beloved by fans for finally introducing Glaceon and Leafeon, the Ice and Grass-type evolutions of Eevee, effectively completing the Eevee family for the fourth generation. Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn brought a fresh wave of strategy to the Pokémon TCG, emphasizing flexible evolution paths and potent new energy cards. The set also marked the debut of the fossils in the Diamond & Pearl era, with Old Amber allowing the resurrection of Aerodactyl.

The Majestic Power of Glaceon and Leafeon

While the Eeveelutions are the stars, Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn is packed with other competitive powerhouses. Garchomp LV.X became an instant classic with its "Dragon Pulse" Poké-Power, capable of wiping out opponent's benches. The set also introduced Call Energy, a special energy card that accelerated setup by allowing players to search for Basic Pokémon—a staple that defined deck building for years. With its focus on new beginnings and powerful legendary Pokémon like Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn remains a shining example of the era's creativity.
