A World Freezing Over... A Chilling Plan Close to Completion...

Team Plasma's frosty assault on Unova continues in the Pokémon TCG: Black & White—Plasma Freeze expansion, and Trainers everywhere must show an icy resolve if they are to halt the relentless deep freeze! The struggle will be bitter as Team Plasma releases a blizzard of Team Plasma Pokémon, including Deoxys-EX, Thundurus-EX, and all of Eevee's evolutions, backed by Team Plasma Energy, Item, and Supporter cards. But, with the Legendary Eon Pokémon Latios and Latias standing by your side and a host of Pokémon-EX ready to do battle, your opponents will find that now is the winter of their discontent!

Plasma Freeze is the name given to the ninth main expansion of the Black & White Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In Japan, it was released as the Spiral Force and Thunder Knuckle dual expansions that make up the eighth expansion block in the Pokémon Card Game BW Era. It is based on Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, featuring Generation V Pokémon and Team Plasma. The English expansion was released on May 8, 2013, while the Japanese expansions were released on December 14, 2012.

Most Pokémon have shards of ice in their artwork, this was a reference to the event in Pokémon Black and White Versions 2, when Team Plasma used the Plasma Frigate and the power of Kyurem to freeze Opelucid City and the surrounding area.
