The Platinum sets
- Platinum (February 11, 2009) introduced Pokémon SP with Team Galactic's Pokémon, marked G.
- Rising Rivals (May 16, 2009) added the Pokémon of the Gym Leaders, marked GL, and of the Elite Four.
- Supreme Victors (August 19, 2009) added Pokémon belonging to Cynthia, the Champion, marked C, and to the Frontier Brains, marked FB.
- Arceus (November 4, 2009) printed Arceus in many types, and it was the last set to include Pokémon LV.X.
How to read an SP card
The letters after the Pokémon's name are part of its identity: Luxray GL and a plain Luxray are different cards, and so are Garchomp C and an ordinary Garchomp. When an SP Pokémon also has a LV.X card, the two are separate printings again. Read the full name, letters included, before you compare a value.
SP and LV.X at the top
The combination of SP and LV.X drives the top of our 2009 values. Rising Rivals' Luxray GL LV.X (#109) and Supreme Victors' Garchomp C LV.X (#145) were the two halves of "LuxChomp", the deck that dominated tournaments at the time, and they remain the most valuable 2009 cards in this guide. Below them, Arceus' Charizard (#1) and Rising Rivals' Arcanine (#1) are the strongest non-LV.X cards.
What people scan
Collectors' scans point somewhere else entirely: Platinum's Mareep (#82) is scanned in the app more often than any other 2009 card, ahead of Arceus' Croagunk and Charizard. Japanese cards from the year, such as those from Beat of the Frontier and Advent of Arceus, are listed separately from the English sets.
Pokémon LV.X began two years earlier, in 2007, and reached its height in 2008; after Arceus the game moved on to the HeartGold & SoulSilver sets of 2010.
