Diamond & Pearl: Great Encounters is the name given to the fourth expansion of cards of the Diamond & Pearl era of the Trading Card Game.

Information

Great Encounters' name is based on the Moonlit Pursuit subset of Pokémon Card Game DP4 and begins the transition of the set into English-language sets. The set contains 100 cards from Card Game DP4, with two Dialga, two Palkia and two Darkrai (one of each a LV.X) being held back from Shining Darkness, completing the 106-card set. The cards from Card Game DP4 that were not included in Great Encounters were later printed in Majestic Dawn.

In order for the fifth Japanese set, Pokémon Card Game DP5, to be released closer to the eleventh Pokémon movie (Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin), the set's release was delayed by three months, making a six-month gap between the release of it and the previous set. In order to prevent such a large gap in the English-language releases, Moonlit Pursuit/Dawn Dash was separated between two sets: Great Encounters and Majestic Dawn.

Great Encounters is also the first set to include Darkrai, containing its Moonlit Pursuit card and both its Shining Darkness cards (including the LV.X variant). Cresselia is the only LV.X card in the set to originate from Moonlit Pursuit/Dawn Dash; Darkrai, Dialga and Palkia were held back from Shining Darkness.
