'''Legendary Treasures''' is the eleventh and final Black & White Series expansion, and will be released November 6th, 2013. It will be based on and contain the cards released in the Japanese equivalent '''EX Battle Boost''', released July 13, 2013, in addition to the cards released in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Collection}}, released February 1, 2013, and the {{TCG|Mewtwo vs Genesect Deck Kit}}, released the same day as EX Battle Boost. The English release features a subset, named the '''Radiant Collection''', that contains 25 cards that will most likely be the entire Japanese Shiny Collection released in English. Radiant Collection cards will have a special coating and foil patterns; they have their own numbering (all numbers prefixed by RC) and rarity scheme. Legendary Treasures will feature over 130 cards.

The Legendary Treasures expansion, for the first time since {{TCG|Neo Revelation}}, and only the second time in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] history, is a set that does not have any associated {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s. Instead, there will be Theme Decks based on the [[Pokémon X and Y]] [[starter Pokémon]], releasing the same day as the expansion and starting off the XY Series of the card game. These Theme Decks are being released November 8th, the same day as the {{TCG|XY Beginning Set}}s in Japan.

This expansion, and the Japanese equivalents EX Battle Boost and Shiny Collection, feature reprints with alternate artwork from throughout the entirety of the Black & White Series. The two Japanese releases are the first to be described as '''Concept Packs''' instead of being considered main expansions. The main difference between a Concept Pack and a main expansion is that Concept Pack cards don't necessarily feature Rarities, though they both still featured {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} and {{TCG|secret card}}s.

The promotional artwork for this expansion switches from being illustrated by [[Shin Nagasawa]] back to being illustrated by [[5ban Graphics]]. The English expansion totals at 138 cards, including a subset of 25. The {{TCG|Prerelease cards|Prerelease Promo}} for this expansion is {{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tornadus-EX|96}}.
