About Diamond & Pearl

What Diamond & Pearl is

Diamond & Pearl is the first main expansion of the Diamond & Pearl series, released on May 23, 2007 with 130 cards. It was built from the Japanese Space-Time Creation pair, Diamond Collection and Pearl Collection, released on November 30, 2006. The set introduced Generation IV Pokémon to the card game along with Dialga and Palkia, and it debuted Pokémon LV.X, level up cards that keep every attack, Poké-Power and Poké-Body of the Pokémon beneath them. Empoleon LV.X, Infernape LV.X and Torterra LV.X close the numbering. The set also moved Poison Pokémon from the Grass type to Psychic and refreshed the card layout for the new era.

What makes Diamond & Pearl different

  • First Pokémon LV.X The three starter LV.X at 120 to 122 were the first level up cards, a mechanic that ran through the whole DP and Platinum period.
  • Promo stamped prints Burger King issued reverse holo stamped Lucario, Manaphy, Pachirisu and Grotle, Luxio carried the prerelease stamp, and Electivire and Luxray served as Regional and National Championships promos.

Diamond & Pearl products

Collecting and grading Diamond & Pearl

Empoleon LV.X leads the hub, with Infernape LV.X and Torterra LV.X behind it and the holo Infernape, Lucario and Torterra following. Reverse holos are a real part of this set's market: Snorlax, Lucario, Drifloon and Gastly reverse holos sit high in the chase list. The 2007 English print has a soft holo layer that scratches easily, and the LV.X cards often show edge wear from play, so a clean LV.X is harder to find than the print run suggests.
