Platinum (TCG): Difference between revisions

''Pokémon Card Game DPt1: Galactic's Conquest'' (拡張パック「ギンガの覇道」) is the name given to the first expansion of cards from the Japanese series of cards, ''Pokémon Card Game DPt''.

''Galactic's Conquest'' is the first expansion in the Pokémon Card Game DPt series and the first set based on [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]] and, more specifically, [[Team Galactic]].

The Pokémon featured in the set are not generally based on Pokémon owned by Team Galactic, but the set introduces a new type of Pokémon, "Pokémon SP". Pokémon SP have an "SP" symbol in the bottom-left-hand corner of the illustration box; however, there are different types of Pokémon SP. In ''Galactic's Conquest'', Pokémon SP are represented as "Pokémon G", with the "G" at the end of a Pokémon's name made to symbolise the fact that it is a Galactic's Pokémon. All Pokémon G are Basic Pokémon and have an illustration of their owner in the bottom-right-hand corner of the illustration box. The set includes 13 Pokémon G, two of which are Pokémon LV.X.

The set also carries on from {{TCG|Stormfront|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} and includes three classic cards from the original sets: {{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}}. These cards pay homage to the {{TCG|Haymaker}} {{TCG|Deck archetype}}, which dominated competitive play in the early years of the TCG.

*The new prefix for the set derives from '''D'''iamond, '''P'''earl and the chemical symbol for Platinum ('''Pt'''). Unlike DP1, the set continues to use a set numbering system, which was re-introduced on the Japanese cards in ''Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky''.
