Pokémon TCG: Black & White—Noble Victories is the third main expansion of the Black & White Series, launching on November 16, 2011 in English (and previously as Red Collection on July 15, 2011 in Japan). Building on the momentum of its predecessors, Noble Victories brings Generation V Pokémon into sharper focus—most notably the Victory Pokémon Victini—while weaving in fan-favorite trainers and powerful new strategies. Whether you’re a collector hunting for Rare pulls or a competitor sharpening your deck, this set delivers a rich blend of nostalgia and innovation right from the Unova region.
At its core, Noble Victories compiles all the cards from Japan’s Red Collection, every card from the exclusive Victini Decks, plus a curated selection from Psycho Drive and Hail Blizzard. This combination means you’ll find everything from sweep‑ready Psychic Pokémon to chilling Ice-type attackers, ensuring diverse deckbuilding options. A standout mechanic in this expansion is the introduction of Restored Pokémon: to bring a Fossil Pokémon into play, you first attach its corresponding Fossil card, then search the bottom seven cards of your deck for the Pokémon and bench it directly. This thematic twist on Fossil cards adds both a strategic deck‑thinning element and a fun nod to the “digging up” concept from the video games.
Beyond its core gameplay features, Noble Victories is sprinkled with delightful surprises that keep players exploring its depths. For the first time in the Black & White era, you can collect full‑art versions of Victini and other Ultra Rares showcasing lush, vibrant artwork. The set is also notable for spotlighting iconic Unova legendaries—like Zekrom, Reshiram, and the Swords of Justice trio—in dynamic foil treatments that catch every light flicker. And although it doesn’t have a direct Japanese “main” expansion counterpart, its Red Collection roots mean collectors on both sides of the globe share in the thrill of pulling these powerful cards.
Whether you’re drafting Noble Victories in your next local tournament or carefully hunting for that perfect Restored Fossil, this expansion remains a fan-favorite for its blend of Generation V charm, strategic depth, and stunning visuals. Its influence rippled through subsequent sets—paving the way for more thematic mechanics—and cemented Noble Victories as a cornerstone chapter in the ever‑evolving story of the Pokémon TCG.
