Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the Black & White era.
Plasma Freeze sits late in the Black & White era of the English-language Pokémon TCG, an expansion released on May 8, 2013 under the set code PLF. It follows Plasma Storm and comes before Plasma Blast. The set carries 116 official cards with 6 secret cards numbered above that count, for 122 catalog printings in all. Its identity rests on the EX Pokémon, with Deoxys-EX, Latios-EX, Latias-EX and Heatran-EX among its headline cards, and on a type spread of Psychic, Darkness, Water and Colorless. Bisharp, Cofagrigus, Deino and Eevee each appear in more than one version.
The Plasma Freeze card list runs from commons and uncommons through rares up to 14 chase-tier cards: 8 Ultra Rares and 6 Secret Rares that sit above the printed 116. The most valuable cards are the Secret Rare Ultra Ball, then the Ultra Rare Deoxys-EX, followed by the Secret Rares Garchomp and Empoleon, with Latios-EX close behind. 5ban Graphics illustrated the top two and also holds the most cards in the set, while Ayaka Yoshida illustrated the Garchomp and Empoleon secrets. The top five cards alone make up 64 percent of the set's total card value, so the most valuable cards define how the whole set is priced.

A full Plasma Freeze run is 122 catalog printings, and 119 of them are priced. Because the top five cards carry so much of the set's value, the cost of a complete set is driven by a handful of Secret Rares and Ultra Rares, while the commons, uncommons and most rares fill in cheaply by comparison. Five sealed products are listed for the set: a booster box, booster packs and decks. Deck builders will also find the EX Pokémon and the Psychic and Darkness lines the main draw among the playable cards.
