Pokémon SP (TCG): Difference between revisions

'''Pokémon SP''' are a variant of Pokémon found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They debuted in the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, the first of the ''Platinum'' Series. They are the successor to {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}}.

The first variant of SP Pokémon were '''Pokémon {{SP|G}}''', released in {{TCG|Platinum}}. Pokémon {{SP|G}} cards are classified as "Galactic's Pokémon" (this text replaces the Pokédex data in the illustration bar) and have an icon of their respective [[Team Galactic]] owner in the bottom-right corner of the illustration box. All Pokémon G also have "{{SP|G}}" at the end of their name in order to differentiate them from other Pokémon. Several examples include:
