Rising Rivals is the English-language Pokémon TCG expansion that anchors the Platinum series within the Diamond & Pearl era, led by Snorlax LV.X, Surfing Pikachu and Infernape E4 LV.X among its most valuable cards. The release date was May 16, 2009, and the card list runs to 111 official cards plus 9 secret cards, 120 printings in all under the set code RR. Munchlax and Snorlax each appear in two versions, and the set leans on Psychic, Fighting, Water and Lightning Pokémon.
Rising Rivals builds its pull ladder from commons, uncommons and rares up through 13 holo rares to the Rare Holo LV.X tier, which holds 9 chase-tier cards and is the set's top rarity. Snorlax LV.X, illustrated by Shizurow, is the most valuable card, followed by the Rare Surfing Pikachu, Infernape E4 LV.X, a Mitsuhiro Arita Pikachu and Alakazam E4 LV.X. Value is concentrated: the top five cards hold 57 percent of the set's total card value, so the Rising Rivals chase cards define the whole market for it.
