bw2 概览
Emerging Powers, released August 31, 2011, is the second Black & White expansion with 98 cards. It continued the Unova-only Pokemon approach and introduced the Forces of Nature — Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus. The set also featured the first Pokemon Catcher trainer card, which became one of the most impactful cards in the format.
最有价值的卡牌
Full Art Thundurus (#97) and Full Art Tornadus (#98) are the top chase cards. Pokemon Catcher became one of the most important trainer cards in the BW format. Beartic, Gothitelle, and Crushing Hammer were competitive staples that hold value with players.
常见问题
01. What are the best cards in Emerging Powers?
Full Art Thundurus (#97) and Full Art Tornadus (#98) are the most valuable. Pokemon Catcher is the most competitively significant card, essentially being a reprint of the classic Gust of Wind in a new format.
02. Why was Pokemon Catcher so important?
Pokemon Catcher let you switch your opponent's active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon without a coin flip (it was later errata'd to require a flip). This dramatically sped up the BW format and became a must-have in virtually every deck.
03. How many cards are in Emerging Powers?
Emerging Powers contains 98 cards including 2 full-art cards (Thundurus and Tornadus), holographic rares, uncommons, and commons. It is one of the smaller BW-era sets.
04. Does Emerging Powers only have Unova Pokemon?
Yes, like the Black & White base set, Emerging Powers features exclusively Generation V Unova Pokemon. Later BW-era expansions would reintroduce Pokemon from earlier generations.
