The Expanded format is one of two formats used for officially-sanctioned Play! Pokémon events, which was added to the Standard format in the 2014-2015 season. It allows a greater number of expansions than the Standard format but is not as unpredictable as the Unlimited format.

If a card in an Expanded-legal expansion is a reprint of an older card, all prints of the card can be played in a Expanded-legal expansion-legal deck (i.e. Base Set Potion, recently reprinted in Black & White). However, some cards significantly differ in wording between older prints and newer prints (i.e. Charizard from the Base Set compared to its Stormfront iteration); those cards require a reference outside the deck in order to use the older prints in a Expanded-legal deck. A reference must be either a new version of the card or a printout of the card's entry from the official Card-Dex.

Play! Pokémon requires players to play with cards printed in English or an area's local language (for example: players in the United States are restricted to English cards only, whereas players in Canada can also use cards in French).
