Skyridge is the name given to the third and final expansion of cards of the e-Card era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was the third set to be compatible with Nintendo's e-Reader peripheral and the last set to be released by Wizards of the Coast.

Information
Like Aquapolis, Skyridge is an amalgamation of two Japanese e-Card sets - e-Card 4 and e-Card 5, officially named Split Earth and Mysterious Mountains. Skyridge was the last Pokémon TCG set produced by Wizards of the Coast, despite originally having planned two other sets (Legendary Collection 2 and Jamboree) slated for release at the time of Skyridge's announcement.
The symbol for Skyridge is adopted from the theme of the Japanese e-Card 5 set, which focuses on a town in the shadow of a mysterious 3-peaked mountain.
Skyridge features the separate holographic numbering system introduced in Aquapolis. It was the last set to feature such a system.
One of the theme decks in this expansion indicates the first time that the fan-created term "Eeveelution" was used by an official Nintendo-licensed source.
Skyridge includes box toppers #9-#12.
This is the last TCG set that included Kadabra, despite Abra and Alakazam being included in many other sets since.
This is the last TCG set to include playable e-Reader applications on the cards. e-Reader compatibility continued until EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua, but only in the form of scannable Pokédex entries.
