Plasma Blast is the third set of the BW era to feature [[Fossil]]s, the first two being {{TCG|Noble Victories}} and {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}. {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Tirtouga}} are given their second cards, while {{p|Lileep}} is given its first printing as a {{TCG|Restored Pokémon}}. {{TCG|Plume Fossil}} and {{TCG|Cover Fossil}} are reprinted, and a new fossil Trainer card, {{TCG|Root Fossil Lileep}} is included in favor over the old {{TCG|Root Fossil}} in order to prevent confusion over how the card should work. The expansion is the first to feature new [[Technical Machine]]-like {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s with attacks present on them.

In order to help defend against Team Plasma's onslaught, [[Unova]] champion [[Iris]] is present alongside [[Caitlin]], a member of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]]. Six {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} are included: {{TCG ID|Megalo Cannon|Virizion-EX|9}}, {{TCG ID|Megalo Cannon|Jirachi-EX|51}}, {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Kyurem-EX|30}} and Team Plasma's {{TCG ID|Megalo Cannon|Genesect-EX|10}}, {{TCG ID|Megalo Cannon|Dialga-EX|53}}, and {{TCG ID|Megalo Cannon|Palkia-EX|54}}. Many of the Pokémon present are not from [[Generation V]], but instead are Pokémon from older Generations, some of which not featured in the Card Game since the Diamond & Pearl Series.
