Adding to the atmospheric turbulence are more Pokémon-EX, including Victini-EX, Cobalion-EX, and Lugia-EX.

Pokémon TCG: Black & White—Plasma Storm features more than 130 cards, including three never-before-seen ACE SPEC cards that are so incredibly powerful, players can only carry one into battle!
