It's all about Arceus!
The Platinum—Arceus expansion doesn't have its name for nothing: the Alpha Pokémon just pops up everywhere! There are nine basic Arceus, one per energy type, each with its own attacks. Also, there are three Arceus L V.X that can develop any of the basic Arceus. Add to that special Arceus stadium and trainer cards to round out a comprehensive Arceus deck!
Lots of Gengar!
Gengar is a very popular Pokémon among collectible card game players. That's why Platinum—Arceus includes a full set of Gengar and precursors! The extension includes Nebulak, two variants of Alpollo and two different Gengar. And as soon as a gengar is involved, coaches can also play the terrible Gengar LV.X Pull out! With diverse combinations, putting together a strong and flexible deck has never been easier!
