About Spiral Force
What Spiral Force is
Spiral Force is one half of the eighth expansion block of the BW era in Japan, released on December 14, 2012 alongside Thunder Knuckle. It has 51 numbered cards plus 7 secret rares for 58 in total, and the two halves share a single card. The block continued the Team Plasma story and carried Pokémon EX for Heatran, Thundurus, Deoxys, Latias, Latios and Tornadus along with the ACE SPEC Items Life Dew and Rock Guard. Spiral Force is the Deoxys side, with Deoxys EX, Latios EX and Heatran EX in full art, Ghetsis as a full art Supporter and gold Empoleon and Sigilyph as secrets. The English Plasma Freeze of May 8, 2013 combined both halves into 122 cards.
What makes Spiral Force different
- Deoxys EX's home Deoxys EX debuted here and became a pillar of Team Plasma decks, and its full art print leads the hub.
- Eeveelutions in the block Espeon and Glaceon from Spiral Force and Leafeon from Thunder Knuckle gave Plasma Freeze its Eeveelution theme, and Espeon and Glaceon rank in the top ten here.

Collecting and grading Spiral Force
The full art Deoxys EX leads the hub, followed by the full art Latios EX, the gold Empoleon, the full art Heatran EX, the gold Sigilyph, the regular Deoxys EX and the full art Ghetsis. Espeon, Glaceon, Seismitoad, Zekrom and Sceptile lead the regular cards. BW era Japanese secrets show back edge whitening quickly, so clean copies are the ones worth grading.
