As the Pokémon Trading Card Game introduced new changes for Generation IV with the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl Series, new products were made available to accompany the main expansions released. Over the course of this Series, a new collection of promotional cards and other merchandise were available in items such as Collector's Tins and various Value Boxes. Below is a chronological list of all the items released during the Diamond & Pearl Series of the Trading Card Game.
2007 Spring Collector's Tins
The Spring Collector's Tins for 2007 are unusual in two ways. The first is the difference between the North American and international release. The North American tins begin the Diamond & Pearl Series by introducing the first Generation IV Pokémon to the TCG: Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. The tins released internationally however, feature three Pokémon-ex from Pokémon Organized Play promotional expansions: Tyranitar, Celebi, and Ho-Oh. This was primarily due to the difference in release schedule for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The second is the design of the tins themselves relative to the promotional card featured. In the previous EX Collector's Tins and all subsequent Collector's Tins, the Pokémon on the front of the tin matches the promotional card featured in the window. For these tins, this is only true for the international Tyranitar tin, with the other designs featuring Camerupt and Milotic. The contents of the tins remain the same however, with each tin containing two EX Power Keepers booster packs, one EX Dragon Frontiers booster pack, and one EX Delta Species booster pack.
Promotional cards:
- Turtwig (Diamond & Pearl 103; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Chimchar (Diamond & Pearl 76; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Piplup (Diamond & Pearl 93; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Tyranitar ex (POP Series 1 17; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Celebi ex (POP Series 2 17; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Ho-Oh ex (POP Series 3 17; Cosmos Holofoil)

Rayquaza Blister Pack
A limited release in May 2007. Stores such as Target began selling Rayquaza Blister Packs, which feature a Cosmos Holofoil Rayquaza promotional card, previously available in prior EX Series merchandise, as well as one EX Deoxys booster pack, and one EX Crystal Guardians booster pack.
Promotional card:
- Rayquaza (POP Series 1 3; Cosmos Holofoil)
Diamond & Pearl Theme Decks
Theme Decks are often the best opportunity for players new to the Trading Card Game to gain some experience in learning how to play the game. Accompanying the Diamond & Pearl expansion, the first of the Diamond & Pearl Series, were three Theme Decks featuring the final evolutions of the Generation IV first partner Pokémon. Terra Firma features Torterra, Inferno Zone features Infernape, and Royal Frost features Empoleon. All of these decks contain the essentials for any player; including a rulebook, damage counters, status counters, a coin, and single-player mat.

Diamond & Pearl Blisters
Released in late May 2007 shortly after the release of the Diamond & Pearl expansion were a number of Blister Packs. The Three Pack Blisters came in three varieties: each one containing either one of the three Generation IV first partner Pokémon as promotional cards. These Blisters also included two Diamond & Pearl booster packs, one late EX Series booster pack, and a coin featuring Palkia. There were two types of Two Pack Blisters made available. The first, released more sparsely than the other, came in two varieties: one with Bidoof and Buizel cards, and one with Combee and Shinx cards. All of these cards available were reverse holofoil versions, and could be obtained normally in the main expansion. These Two Pack Blisters also came packaged with two Diamond & Pearl booster packs and a Palkia coin in the same packaging as the Three Pack Blisters. The second type of Two Pack Blister included a Pachirisu promotional card, one Diamond & Pearl booster pack, and one POP Series 2 booster pack.
Promotional cards:
- Bidoof (Diamond & Pearl 70; Mirror Reverse Holofoil)
- Buizel (Diamond & Pearl 72; Mirror Reverse Holofoil)

Special Edition Blisters
These packs were distributed internationally and available in June 2007. Due to the difference in content of the 2007 Spring Collector's Tins, these packs were conceived to make the Cosmos Holofoil variants of Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup available in Western countries outside North America. The Blister packs also come packaged with a mixture of three late EX Series booster packs and an Energy coin in varying colors.
Promotional cards:
- Turtwig (Diamond & Pearl 103; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Chimchar (Diamond & Pearl 76; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Piplup (Diamond & Pearl 93; Cosmos Holofoil)

Enhanced Value Pack
Quietly released in stores such as Target during June 2007, and subsequently available via several online retailers, the Enhanced Value Pack contains Cosmos Holofoil versions of Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon from POP Series 3. All three could be obtained in separately packaged Blister Packs during the EX Series. The pack also contains two booster packs, both from a selection of late EX Series expansions.
Promotional cards:
- Flareon (POP Series 3 2; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Jolteon (POP Series 3 3; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Vaporeon (POP Series 3 6; Cosmos Holofoil)

Mysterious Treasures Theme Decks
Like many expansions, the Mysterious Treasures expansion was accompanied by two Theme Decks: Armor Fortress and Skull Charge, featuring the Shield Pokémon Bastiodon and the Head Butt Pokémon Rampardos, respectively. Both decks take inspiration from the Japanese Bastiodon the Defender and Rampardos the Attacker constructed Half Decks, which were released alongside Mysterious Treasures's Japanese equivalent, Secret of the Lakes.

Mysterious Treasures Blisters
Available shortly after the release of the Mysterious Treasures expansion during the month of September 2007, were a variety of Blister Packs to promote the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Three Pack Blisters came in two versions: one with a Shieldon promotional card, and one with a Cranidos promotional card. These Blisters also included two Mysterious Treasures booster packs, one late EX Series booster pack, and a coin featuring either Shieldon or Cranidos. The Two Pack Blisters, like those released after the Diamond & Pearl expansion, had two distinct varieties. The first came in two versions: one with Snover and Bronzor cards, and one with Finneon and Croagunk cards. All of these cards were again Reverse Holofoil versions that could be obtained normally in the Mysterious Treasures expansion. These Two Pack Blisters also came packaged with two Mysterious Treasures booster packs and a Shieldon or Cranidos coin. The second type of Two Pack Blister also came in two versions: one with a Buneary promotional card, and one with a Cranidos promotional card—the same available in the Three Pack Blisters. Each of these Two Pack Blisters came packaged with one Mysterious Treasures booster pack, and one POP Series 3 booster pack.
Promotional cards:
- Snover (Mysterious Treasures 101; Mirror Reverse Holofoil)

Diamond & Pearl Collector's Tins
The Diamond & Pearl Collector's Tins were released in September 2007 and include alternate art reprints of the three Pokémon LV.X that debuted in the Diamond & Pearl expansion: Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon. Preliminary release material suggested that the tins were to include the non-LV.X versions of these cards, with no alterations to those found normally in the main expansion. The contents of the tins differed between the North American release and those released internationally. The North American release came packaged with two Mysterious Treasures booster packs, and two Diamond & Pearl booster packs. The international release however, included four Diamond & Pearl booster packs, due to the different release schedule of Mysterious Treasures outside North America.
Promotional cards:
- Torterra LV.X (DP Promo 9; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Infernape LV.X (DP Promo 10; Cosmos Holofoil)
- Empoleon LV.X (DP Promo 11; Cosmos Holofoil)

The kit also contains two booklets to guide players through the game, game counters, a Manaphy coin, play mat, and an EX Series or Diamond & Pearl Series booster pack.

Lucario Collector's Tin
As its name suggests, the Lucario Collector's Tin focuses solely on the Aura Pokémon Lucario, and is the first Collector's Tin to have a standalone release. Available during November 2007, the tin includes a promotional reprint of the Lucario LV.X card from Mysterious Treasures and four Diamond & Pearl Series booster packs from a selection of the first three expansions. The tin was re-issued in late 2008 and repackaged with a Cosmos Holofoil Lucario from POP Series 8, this time with only three booster packs. These boosters included two from late EX Series expansions, and one from a late Diamond & Pearl Series expansion.

Secret Wonders Theme Decks
Secret Wonders, like the majority of all Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions, features two Theme Decks. Lavaflow focuses on the Blast Pokémon Magmortar, while Powerhouse focuses on the Thunderbolt Pokémon Electivire. As with most expansions from the Diamond & Pearl Series, the Theme Decks take some inspiration from half decks or deck kits released alongside their Japanese counterparts. Due to the Japanese equivalent of Secret Wonders, Shining Darkness, containing Pokémon with ties to the then unreleased The Rise of Darkrai, the Theme Decks take inspiration from the Magmortar vs Electivire Deck Kit, released in the following Japanese expansion.

Secret Wonders Blisters

Available in early November 2007 were a series of Two Pack Blisters and Three Pack Blisters. The Two Pack Blisters, again, came in two distinct varieties. The first came in two versions: one with a Squirtle card, and one with a Carvanha card. These Blisters also included one Secret Wonders booster pack and one POP Series 4 booster pack. The second also came in two versions: one with Bulbasaur and Charmander cards, and one with Shellos East Sea and Shellos West Sea cards. These Blisters came packaged with two Secret Wonders booster packs, and a coin featuring either Magmortar and Electivire, or Energy symbols. The Three Pack Blisters came in four versions, with a choice of either a Flaaffy card, a Quagsire card, a Breloom card, or a Wartortle card. The packaged boosters included two from Secret Wonders, and one from either a late EX Series expansion or Mysterious Treasures.
