Overview
Plasma Blast is a 105-card expansion from the Black & White series, released on August 14, 2013. The set features full-art cards and Pokemon-EX alongside the standard mix of Pokemon, Trainer, and Energy cards. Notable cards include Dusknoir, Virizion, Exeggcute, Iris.
Best for
- Collectors into early full arts and BW EX structure
- collectors pricing Plasma Blast (2013, 105 cards) as BW / full-art transition cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
- buyers who already know Exeggcute / Palkia-EX is the expensive row in Plasma Blast
Skip this path if
- you want only sealed modern product and zero binder work
- you expect every card in Plasma Blast to carry similar resale (bulk is bulk)
Common mistakes
The expensive mistake on Plasma Blast is assuming every Next Destinies / Dark Explorers–style hit shares the same liquidity. Set code bw10 (2013) is the membership test — character name alone will not save a bad buy. Budget Exeggcute / Palkia-EX as priority singles; the other 103 cards are not the same project.
What to check first
Pull up Exeggcute / Palkia-EX first — number, finish, and surface — then decide if the ask is real. Parallel check: exact set, full art vs regular rare, and centering on the big foils. Only after that does the full Plasma Blast checklist tell you what is left.
Most valuable cards
The top chase cards from Plasma Blast include Dusknoir, Virizion, Exeggcute. Full art, secret rare, and alternate art variants carry the highest premiums. Other collectible cards include Iris, Palkia-EX, Dialga-EX. Condition matters — near-mint copies command significantly higher prices than played cards.
