The Pokemon Company International has announced the May 9th release of Pokemon TCG: Black & White-Dark Explorers, the fifth expansion for Pokemon Black & White.  This standard expansion includes more than 100 cards and is available in both Theme Decks (MSRP $11.99) and Booster Packs (MSRP $3.99). 

 

This expansion ushers in the return of the immensely powerful “Darkrai-EX” and a lineup of Darkness-type Pokemon like Zoroark, Umbreon, and Sableye. With trainer cards like “Dark Patch” players can get a serious edge with new strategies for Darkness-type Pokemon.

 

The Dark Explorers expansion also includes an impressive run of six new “Pokemon-EX” from the Unova and beyond including (in addition to the Darkrai-EX) “Tornadus-EX,” “Kyogre-EX,” “Raikou-EX,” and “Groudon-EX,” all of which are featured as “Pokemon-EX” cards and rare Ultra full-art “Pokemon-EX” cards.

 

Each foil booster pack includes a guaranteed parallel foil card, and each theme deck and booster pack includes an in-pack code that unlocks virtual cards for play in the Pokemon TCG online game.
