About Plasma Blast

What Plasma Blast is

Plasma Blast is the tenth main expansion of the Black & White Series, released in English on August 14, 2013. It has 101 cards in the numbered set plus 4 secret rares, 105 in total: 11 holofoil rares, six Pokémon-EX including Genesect EX 11, Virizion EX 9, Kyurem EX 30, Jirachi EX 60, Dialga EX 65 and Palkia EX 66, four ACE SPEC Trainers from G Booster 92 to Scoop Up Cyclone 95, full arts from 96 to 101 closing with Iris, and the secret rare Exeggcute 102, Virizion 103, Dusknoir 104 and Rare Candy 105. It is built from the Japanese Megalo Cannon, the ninth and final BW era expansion released on March 15, 2013 with 86 cards, and it centers on Team Plasma and the Paleozoic Pokémon Genesect.

What makes Plasma Blast different

  • Genesect EX and Virizion EX The full art Genesect EX 97 and Virizion EX 96 are the two most valuable cards in the set in PSA 10, with Palkia EX 100 third.
  • Secret rares The secret rare Dusknoir 104, Virizion 103 and Exeggcute 102 all rank in the set's top eight in PSA 10, alongside the Iris 101 full art.

The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value. Full arts and secret rares carry a wide premium in PSA 10 over PSA 9, and sealed Plasma Blast is scarce; the sealed table above tracks what boxes, packs and Elite Trainer Boxes trade for today.
