The '''Boundaries Crossed''' expansion is the seventh Black & White Series expansion, released November 7, 2012, and the first to be centered around {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, which was released only about one month beforehand. The Japanese counterpart, '''Freeze Bolt · Cold Flare''', was the sixth Japanese BW era expansion, and was released in July of the same year. The English release contains many of the cards released within the Japanese release, in addition to most of the cards originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Keldeo Battle Strength Deck}} and {{TCG|National Beginning Set}}, as well as two cards first released worldwide in the English expansion: {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Black Kyurem|100}} and {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|White Kyurem|102}}. Additionally, the Full Art print of {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Skyla|134}} was pulled forward from the Japanese {{TCG|Plasma Gale}} expansion in order to be released with the regular print. Both the English and Japanese releases are the largest expansions of the Black & White Series.

Boundaries Crossed totals 153 cards (4 of which are {{TCG|Secret card}}s), causing it to be the third largest English TCG release ever, beaten out only by {{TCG|Aquapolis}} and {{TCG|Skyridge}}. The Secret cards are {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Golurk|150}} reprinted from {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} ({{TCG|Dragon Blade}} in Japan), {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Terrakion|151}} reprinted from {{TCG|Noble Victories}} ({{TCG|Red Collection}} in Japan), {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Altaria|152}} reprinted from {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} ({{TCG|Dragon Blade}} in Japan), and {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Rocky Helmet|153}} reprinted from {{TCG|Noble Victories}} ({{TCG|Red Collection}} in Japan). In both English and Japanese, these Secret cards are the first to feature golden borders, and they also utilize the special etching featured on {{TCG|Full Art card}}s.

The expansion features two {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s, {{TCG|Ice Shock}} and {{TCG|Cold Fire}}, centered around {{p|Kyurem}}'s brand new Formes, Black and White Kyurem, respectively. Each deck contains an exclusive {{TCG|coin}} featuring their respective Pokémon Forme. Both decks utilize both {{ct|Dragon}} and {{ct|Water}} Pokémon, but Ice Shock utilizes {{ct|Lightning}} Pokémon while Cold Fire utilizes {{ct|Fire}} Pokémon. The additional rule insert included within both theme decks erroneously credits [[5ban Graphics]] as the illustrator of this set's promotional artwork, while the actual illustrator is [[Shin Nagasawa]].
