Overview

Supreme Victors, released August 19, 2009, is the largest Platinum expansion with 153 cards. It introduced Champion (C) Pokemon SP alongside Frontier Brain (FB) Pokemon. The set featured an incredible roster of LV.X cards and became one of the most iconic sets of the entire DP/Platinum era.

Best for

People bridging EX into DP checklist habits
collectors pricing Supreme Victors (2009, 153 cards) as DP / Platinum era cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
people building around Blaziken FB LV.X / Charizard without pretending bulk pays the same

Skip this path if

you only shop modern illustration rares and will not learn DP numbering
you expect every card in Supreme Victors to carry similar resale (bulk is bulk)

Common mistakes

If you only remember one thing about Supreme Victors: Blaziken FB LV.X / Charizard is not interchangeable with every other print of those Pokemon. People still get burned by lumping every Diamond & Pearl–era set under one “DP” price sheet, then argue condition after they already overpaid. Confirm pl3 / the set symbol before comps — “DP / Platinum era lot” language is how wrong products get mixed.

What to check first

Verify set membership (pl3) and set symbol first — DP-era names get mangled in lots constantly. Condition pass on Blaziken FB LV.X / Charizard before negotiation. Finish with a checklist gap list so you are not “completing” only the bulk.

Most valuable cards

Charizard G LV.X (#143) is the crown jewel — one of the most valuable DP-era cards. Garchomp C LV.X (#145) was competitively dominant in the "LuxChomp" archetype. Rayquaza C LV.X (#146) and Blaziken FB LV.X (#142) are also high-value pulls. Multiple shiny secret rares add collectibility.

Tips to finish the set

At 153 cards, Supreme Victors is a massive collecting challenge. The set has numerous LV.X cards and secret rares. Budget for Charizard G LV.X separately as it commands a significant premium. Target the shiny secret rares (Milotic, Yanma, Relicanth) for master set completion.
