2007 English edition almanac

This page covers the four sets printed outside Japan in 2007 — 494 cards. The Japanese edition of the same year is a different shape: 382 cards across four sets, plus a fifth product, World Champions Pack, which is the Japanese printing of the first set on this page. English began the year still in the EX era and ended it three sets into Diamond & Pearl, and two of Japan's 2007 sets never appear here at all — they became 2008's Great Encounters and Majestic Dawn.

One last EX set, then a whole Japanese year in eight months

February closed a four-year era; May opened the next one. EX Power Keepers, 108 cards on 14 February, is the sixteenth and last EX-era set: eight Pokémon-ex, the old yellow frame, and no LV.X anywhere. Eighty-six days later Diamond & Pearl arrived with 130 cards, the new frame and three LV.X (Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon), and from then on the year keeps a rhythm of one set every three months — August, then November.

English 2007 is Japan's 2006–07 compressed and re-cut. Diamond & Pearl is Japan's November 2006 pair — 117 and 119 cards — merged into one 130-card set. Mysterious Treasures is Japan's March set almost card for card, plus one secret. Secret Wonders is Japan's July set plus thirteen cards Japan never had in it, minus Darkrai. And the October pair — Moonlit Pursuit and Dawn Dash, seventy cards each — is not here at all: English would not reach those until February and May 2008.

Each set opens with what it was and when it landed, then every card in set order. LV.X is marked as its own rarity, apart from ordinary holofoil rares — it is a card you stack on another card rather than one you evolve into, and it gives up two Prizes when it is Knocked Out. Where a card was printed under a different name in Japan, the comparison block inside each set spells out which names went where.

About the pictures. Every card face on this page is the English printing, taken from the card database. The interesting comparison is inside each set: a fold-out block counting exactly which names this set has that Japan's does not, and which of Japan's are missing here — computed from the two card lists, not copied from a summary.

What happened this year

7 entries

02-14
EX Power Keepers, 108 cards — the sixteenth and last EX-era set. Eight Pokémon-ex: Absol, Claydol, Flygon, Metagross, Salamence, Shiftry, Skarmory and Walrein, with Salamence ex at 160 HP. No LV.X, no new frame. It is built from Japanese sources scattered across 2006 rather than from one Japanese expansion.
05-23
Diamond & Pearl, 130 cards — Japan's 30 November 2006 pair, 117 and 119 cards, merged. Three LV.X: Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon, and Torterra at 160 HP. Poison Pokémon move from Grass to Psychic, exactly as they had in Japan five and a half months earlier.
07-05
Japan gets these same Power Keepers cards as World Champions Pack, 108 cards, in fifteen-card packs to pre-orders only — five months after English, and deliberately so, so Japanese players would have them before the World Championship.
08-22
Mysterious Treasures, 123 cards plus one secret. Japan's March set card for card, with Time-Space Distortion added: the first Trainer card printed with a holofoil border, and before this only a Japanese Battle Road promo. Held items arrive in English with it.
10-26
Japan sells Moonlit Pursuit and Dawn Dash, 70 cards each, on one day. Neither becomes an English set this year, or under those names at all.
11-07
Secret Wonders, 132 cards, closes the year. Japan's July set plus thirteen cards Japan did not have in it — and without Darkrai, which Japan had printed four months earlier for the tenth movie.
12-31
The year ends with 494 English cards against Japan's 382 — the widest gap between the two editions since 2004, and the first year in which English took more than it gave.

Promos, handouts & prizes

not itemised

Why this is empty. The English 2007 promotional cards sit in several strands — the DP Black Star Promos, the prerelease and league stamps, the theme-deck exclusives, and the championship and magazine distributions. Card faces for many exist, but our sources do not pin each card to a single distribution date and condition. The cards are real and they are 2007; the individual release facts are what is missing.

EX 16 · Power Keepers

2007-02-14108 cardsHOLO 27

14 February 2007. 108 cards and the last EX-era set: eight Pokémon-ex — Absol, Claydol, Flygon, Metagross, Salamence, Shiftry, Skarmory, Walrein — 37 rares, 31 uncommons, 32 commons, and six basic Energy. Colourless 13, Psychic 12, Fighting 10, Fire 9, Metal 8. Salamence ex at 160 HP is the biggest body; nothing in the set is an LV.X, because LV.X does not exist until the next set.

The only English set of this era that came first. Japan had no equivalent expansion in February: the cards were pulled together for English from Japanese promotional and constructed-deck material, and Japan only received them on 5 July as World Champions Pack. That set is not itemised in this almanac — see the Japanese page for the year — so this is the one set here with no Japanese counterpart to compare against. It is also the last set to print the set symbol in the corner of reverse-holofoil cards.

DP 1 · Diamond & Pearl

2007-05-23130 cardsHOLO 20

23 May 2007. 130 cards — the first Diamond & Pearl set, and the first English set with the new frame: three LV.X (Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon), 17 holofoil rares, 25 rares, 38 uncommons, 47 commons and eight basic Energy. Psychic 19, Grass 19, Colourless 18, Fighting 14, Water 13. Torterra at 160 HP is the biggest card in the set.

This is Japan's November 2006 pair in one box. Space-Time Creation was sold in Japan as two sets on one day — Diamond Collection, 117 cards, and Pearl Collection, 119 — and English merged them into 130, dropping what did not fit. The Japanese half is not itemised anywhere in this almanac yet: neither collection is listed card by card on the 2006 page, for the reason written there. It is the single largest known gap in this book.

DP 2 · Mysterious Treasures

2007-08-22124 cardsHOLO 21

22 August 2007. 123 cards plus one secret, and the closest one-to-one in this whole almanac: Japan's Secret of the Lakes is 123 and this is the same 123 with Time-Space Distortion added. Holofoil rares 18, rares 24, uncommons 37, commons 42, three LV.X (Electivire, Lucario, Magmortar). Tyranitar and Slaking at 140 HP top the set.

Held items cross the ocean unchanged. The set's own invention — a Berry on a Pokémon working like a Poké-Body for as long as it stays in play — arrives in English exactly as Japan had it in March, along with the Skull and Armor Fossils. The one addition is the secret card at 124: Time-Space Distortion, which had only ever been a Japanese Battle Road promotional card, and which is the first Trainer printed with a holofoil border.

Japan vs English124 cards against Japan's 123 · 1 of them have no card in that Japanese set

Japan's set is 123 cards and this one is 123 plus a secret. Nothing was dropped and nothing was renamed: the extra line is Time-Space Distortion, and every other name in the two lists matches.

Not in this Japanese set (1 name): Time-Space Distortion

2007-11-07132 cardsHOLO 22

7 November 2007. 132 cards — Japan's July set plus thirteen, and only two LV.X (Gardevoir, Honchkrow): Japan's third, Darkrai LV.X, never reached this set. 20 holofoil rares, 24 rares, 41 uncommons, 45 commons. Psychic 23, Grass 21, Colourless 20, Water 19, Fighting 11. Salamence at 140 HP, and Charizard, Arcanine and Lugia all reach 120 damage.

The set that shows where the two editions actually diverged. Japan's Shining Darkness was built around a film — Dialga vs Palkia vs Darkrai — and carried Darkrai and three film LV.X. English kept the set and left the film out: Darkrai, Darkrai LV.X, Dialga LV.X and Palkia LV.X are all absent here, and the space is filled with reprints and new Trainers (Bebe's Search, Professor Rowan, Night Maintenance, PlusPower, Potion, Rival). Darkrai would not appear in English until Great Encounters in February 2008.

Japan vs English132 cards against Japan's 119 · 17 of them have no card in that Japanese set · 8 of those names turn up in another Japanese set that year · 4 Japanese cards are missing here

Japan's Shining Darkness is 119 cards and this is 132 — but the thirteen extra lines are not what makes the difference. Japan's four film cards (Darkrai, Darkrai LV.X, Dialga LV.X, Palkia LV.X) have no counterpart here at all, and English filled the set with reprints and Trainers Japan printed elsewhere.

Not in this Japanese set (17 names): Bebe's Search, Electabuzz, Electivire, Gardevoir, Gardevoir LV.X, Honchkrow LV.X, Magmar, Magmortar, Night Maintenance, PlusPower, Potion, Professor Rowan, Rival, Roselia, Roserade, Switch, Weavile

Only in the Japanese set (4): Darkrai, Darkrai LV.X, Dialga LV.X, Palkia LV.X

8 of those names also turn up elsewhere in Japan's 2007. That is a statement about names, not cards: the same Pokémon was often printed more than once, with different HP, attacks and art. The English edition never matched a Japanese set one for one, so a name missing from this Japanese set may still belong to a card Japan printed that year.

Compared with the Japanese cards of 2007.

What came next

2 entries

2008-02-13
Great Encounters, 106 cards — built mostly out of Moonlit Pursuit, which Japan had sold in October 2007, plus pieces of Dawn Dash. Darkrai finally reaches English here.
2008-05-21
Majestic Dawn, 100 cards — the rest of the October pair, and the point at which one English set stops corresponding to one Japanese set at all.

What 2007 leaves behind is 494 English cards against Japan's 382, eight Pokémon-ex and eight LV.X — and the end of the one-to-one era. From here on English builds sets out of two Japanese releases at a time, and the comparison blocks inside each set get longer every year.

Release dates and product identities are connected to the English edition release register by set code. Sources are printed per product so a reader can check the claim without trusting this page alone. Unmatched products say so instead of borrowing another edition’s citation.

About this data

All 494 cards are listed. Counts are the printed sets: 108 / 130 / 123 (+1 secret) / 132. Rarities are the printed rarities, and LV.X is kept as its own line rather than merged into holofoil rares.

Names are the English printed names. Where a Japanese card shares its art but not its name, the Japanese page carries the Japanese-era name; this page does not. That is why the two pages can disagree about a card without either being wrong.

The comparison blocks are computed, not copied. Each set's Japan-vs-English block compares the two card lists name by name and reports three numbers: how many cards each side has, how many names appear only here, and how many only in Japan. The names are printed in full underneath, so the claim can be checked card by card.

Two of Japan's 2007 sets have no English counterpart in this year, and one English set has no Japanese counterpart at all: EX Power Keepers is the only set here whose Japanese printing (World Champions Pack, 5 July 2007) is a separate product with its own release facts, and it is not itemised in this almanac.

Basic Energy cards have no illustrator, which is why six of Power Keepers and eight of Diamond & Pearl show no artist. That is the card, not a missing field.

About the pictures. Every card face is the English printing, taken from the card database and resized to a 320-pixel display width. No card here is shown with a Japanese scan, so what you see is what the card you would own actually looks like.

Four sets, 494 cards, eight Pokémon-ex, eight LV.X — the year English finished the EX era and then raced through half of Japan's DP block in eight months. The thing to remember about 2007 is that the two editions stopped matching: Japan sold a seventy-card half-set in October that English would not see for another six months, and Japan printed a Darkrai in July that English would not print until February. What is here is what could be verified. The rest is marked.
