Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen is a card set based on the popular Nintendo video games of the same name. It was released on April 11, 2006 by The Pokémon Company as the ninth expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set contains 110 cards, including seven new Pokémon-ex, four new cards never before seen in other sets, and six new Pokémon LV.X. It features many of the same characters and Pokémon from the video game, including Blaziken, Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
The set is built around the FireRed and LeafGreen video games, bringing together characters and themes from both games. Many of the rarer cards in the set are based on the Team Rocket and Team Magma forces from the two games. Among these are special trainers like Professor Oak, Team Rocket Boss Giovanni, and Team Magma Leader Maxie, who can be used to draw from the opponent's deck or do other actions that may help the player win the game.
