What defined the era

The Diamond & Pearl sets ran from 2007 to Stormfront in late 2008 and introduced LV.X cards, levelled-up Pokémon placed on top of the Pokémon they name. Garchomp LV.X from Majestic Dawn, along with the Leafeon and Glaceon LV.X cards from the same set, lead the era. This was also when secret rares became a regular feature, with cards numbered past the set total, and when Pokémon-ex gave way to a plainer rare holo chase. Prices across the era are modest next to the sets either side of it, which makes it one of the cheaper places to complete a vintage-adjacent set, with the LV.X cards and a handful of promos such as Tropical Wind the exceptions.
