About Beat of the Frontier
What Beat of the Frontier is
Beat of the Frontier is the third expansion of the Japanese DPt era, released on March 6, 2009 as the original print of the English Supreme Victors of August 19, 2009, which grew to 147 cards plus three secrets. It has 100 cards with five Pokémon LV.X, Blaziken LV.X 20, Electivire LV.X 39, Absol LV.X 65, Rayquaza C LV.X 79 and Staraptor LV.X 81, and the three SuperRare holofoil Legendary birds Moltres 98, Articuno 99 and Zapdos 100 closing the set. It is based on Pokémon Platinum and the Sinnoh Battle Frontier, and it introduced two new kinds of Pokémon SP, the Pokémon owned by Champion Cynthia and by the Frontier Brains, marked C and FB. The first print run carries a 1st Edition mark.
