Claims Victory with Platinum—Supreme Victors

The battle for supremacy intensified with Platinum—Supreme Victors, released on August 19, 2009. This massive set of over 150 cards expanded the "SP" mechanic even further, introducing "Frontier Brains" (FB) cards to represent the masters of the Battle Frontier. Platinum—Supreme Victors also brought the champions into the fray, giving players access to Cynthia’s Garchomp C and Steven’s Metagross. The expansion is known for its diverse card pool, which includes the return of shiny Pokémon like Relicanth and Yanma in the secret rare slots.

The Victors of the Metagame

Among the most celebrated cards in Platinum—Supreme Victors is Garchomp C LV.X. When paired with the "Dragon Rush" attack of its basic form, this card became the centerpiece of the "LuxChomp" deck, one of the most dominant archetypes in Pokémon TCG history. The set also introduced Charizard G LV.X and Rayquaza C LV.X, offering immense firepower for players who could master their energy costs. With the debut of powerful supporters like Cynthia’s Guidance and the return of the cute clay-art style from Yuka Morii, Platinum—Supreme Victors offered something for every kind of Pokémon fan.
