Witness Legendary Battles... Experience Great Encounters
Dialga. Palkia. Darkrai. Who will stand victorious? In the Pokémon TCG: Diamond & Pearl—Great Encounters expansion, these three incredible legends come together to battle one another in an epic confrontation that will be a triumph for Trainers everywhere! With more brand-new Pokémon, more Pokémon LV.X, and a titanic clash of some of the most powerful Pokémon ever, Great Encounters is your chance to encounter greatness!
Due to the six-month gap between the release of the fourth expansion block (Moonlit Pursuit and Dawn Dash) and the fifth expansion block (Cry from the Mysterious and Temple of Anger), Moonlit Pursuit and Dawn Dash were separated into two English expansions. Great Encounters mostly contained cards from the Moonlit Pursuit expansion.
The Moonlit Pursuit set is only released in Japanese, in both 1st and unlimited edition. The Great Encounters set is released in English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. Cards in the English, German, French, and Italian sets were also available as Reverse Holos. The Spanish version of this set lacked any Reverse Holos.
