What are Team Plasma Pokémon cards?
Team Plasma cards are Pokémon and Trainer cards that belong to Team Plasma, the villains of Pokémon Black and White. They appeared in three sets in 2013: Plasma Storm in February, Plasma Freeze in May and Plasma Blast in August.
They are easy to spot. In English, a Team Plasma card has a blue border where other cards of the time had a yellow one.

Nine full art Pokémon-EX and two full art Supporters, Colress and Ghetsis.
How many Team Plasma cards are there?
There are 100 Team Plasma cards in the three Plasma sets: 38 in Plasma Storm, 40 in Plasma Freeze and 22 in Plasma Blast. Add a Lugia-EX in Legendary Treasures and 12 Black & White promos, among them Thundurus-EX, Deoxys-EX and Lugia-EX.
Not every card in those sets is Team Plasma. Victini-EX, Cobalion-EX, Latias-EX, Latios-EX, Kyurem-EX, Jirachi-EX and Virizion-EX have normal yellow borders, and so do their full arts.

How Team Plasma cards work
Team Plasma cards were built to be played together. Plasma Energy is a Special Energy that provides Colorless Energy, and several Team Plasma attacks need it or get stronger with it. Lugia-EX's Plasma Gale does 120 damage but has to discard a Plasma Energy, and its Overflow Ability takes one extra Prize card when its attack Knocks Out a Pokémon.
The Trainer cards speed this up. Colress Machine attaches a Plasma Energy from your deck to a Team Plasma Pokémon, Team Plasma Ball searches your deck for a Team Plasma Pokémon, and Team Plasma Badge turns any Pokémon into a Team Plasma Pokémon. Deoxys-EX adds 10 damage to the attacks of your other Team Plasma Pokémon with its Power Connect Ability.

Which Team Plasma cards are worth the most?
The full art Lugia-EX from Plasma Storm is the most valuable Team Plasma card. In late September 2026, the Cardmarket prices in Pooka had it at about €469, well ahead of the full art Articuno-EX at about €125. The Heatran-EX, Thundurus-EX and Tornadus-EX full arts were between about €45 and €75.
The regular Team Plasma cards cost far less than the full arts, so a blue-border collection does not have to be expensive. Pooka shows the daily Cardmarket and eBay price of every Plasma Storm, Plasma Freeze and Plasma Blast card, so you can see what a full art is worth before you buy one.
