2010-2011 Modified Format Legal Card List

[PokePop]

The following is the updated version of all English released cards that are legal for the Modified Format, 2010-2011 season starting September 1st, 2010. The Modified format only permits cards from the most recent Pokémon Trading Card Game sets, however these sets sometimes contain reprinted cards from older sets, making those older cards also legal in the Modified Format.

Updated August 29th 2010 with Undaunted and newly legal cards from older sets reprinted in Undaunted.

Modified Format Legal Card List

If you are playing a card that has had text modified in later printings, you must have either a copy of the official Card Dex (available at http://www.pokemon.com/us/trading-ca...cial-card-dex/) or a card with the most recent printing outside your deck available as a reference for your opponent.
Older cards that will require this reference are marked in the list below with this: Major text change. Requires reference.

Deck Building Reminders
You cannot use cards from the World Championship decks. These are pre-packaged decks which have extremely powerful and expensive cards based on winning competitive decks available at a very low price. These cards are identified by a silver/grey border on the front, a signature in the lower right hand corner of the picture on the card and a unique card back. None of these cards can be in a deck in a Pokémon Organized Play event; this includes the basic Energy cards from these decks.

Cards marked “NOT TOURNAMENT LEGAL” in the lower left hand corner of the card cannot be used in Pokémon Organized Play events.

Note that starting with this tournament season, you may not have any Foreign cards, including Japanese and energy cards, in your deck.

If you sleeve your deck, you must sleeve your deck completely with identical sleeves. Note that only clear or solid color sleeves or official Pokemon sleeves with solid colored edges are legal sleeves for Premiere tournaments, with the exception of Prereleases.

Finally, a listing of all sets and their set symbols may be found in the Reseaching Tower here: http://pokegym.net/tower/
Images of all legal cards may also be found there.

Below is an attached PDF file of this set symbol list in a full page format for you!

[PokePop]

Updated for Unleashed and Undaunted.

Updates for the new season, starting in September, will follow shortly.

[PokePop]

update to 2010-2011 is in progress

[PokePop]

OK, this has been updated for the new season starting next week.

If I've missed adding a valid reprint or missed taking out a card that is no longer legal, please let me know so that I can update this.
Note, Neo Genesis Sneasel was not reprinted in Undaunted. The W&R is different so the old print is not legal for Modified.

[smacktack15]

Are Dialga Lv.X, Palkia Lv.X, Darkrai Lv.X Promos legal?

How is Dialga/Palkia DP legal?

Just wondering :/

Did you post a list of promos legal or did I miss something

Thanks for the help :)

[PokePop]

Those cards were reprinted as promos in the legal series of DP promos.
Yeah, it's a bit surprising that they are still legal.

The legal promos are noted toward the end of the list.
Take a look.
They're there.

[bullados]

'Pop, it might be useful to re-start this topic for each new season. Some of the posts in here make zero sense given the new rotation, and could mislead newer players just logging on here for the first time.

[PokePop]

Well, one reason we keep it in this topic is because this is our number one link into the site from search engines.
Possibly we could soft delete the older posts.
How would people feel about that?

[SD PokéMom]

yes, i agree with soft-deleting obsolete posts, to keep the thread managable...

'mom

[DukeFireBird]

Ill third the motion there, and also we may need to rename the title to 2010-2011

[rivershock]

POP2 Pikachu is still legal.

You missed the accent on Poké Ball in Unseen Forces and Crystal Guardians.
You misspelled Super Scoop Up (Diamond/Pearl) and Premier Ball (Great Encounters).
You missed the apostrophe in Professor Oak's Visit (Secret Wonders).


Also, just out of curiosity, why is no reference required for Base Set/2 Full Heal, since they don't mention Burn, which Expedition and on can remove?

[PokePop]

Fixed and you're correct, a ref should be required for those.

[Jason]

Does Defender still needs a reference?

[TheGeneral]

Fossil Excavator 111/123 Uncommon MT

Is this really still legal??

[RB Golbat]

Reprinted in Platinum: ARceus, so yeah it is

Edit: Sorry, it's in Majestic Dawn

[TheGeneral]

Lol, arceus? Wanna toss me a link it then please?

[PokePop]

How about you go look in the researching tower yourself?

And, actually, not reprinted in Arceus, but in Majestic Dawn.
We got it two sets in a row!

How about uhhhhhhh NOPE

I asked because I did look on the gallery on my favorite site PokeBeach and didn't find it under Arceus like that poster said, so I asked for a link. Is that a problem???????????????????

[ProfessorJacob7]

asking for a link isnt, but being a jerk about him suggesting you look in the RT and responding like THAT sure is.

That's your problem. It would have been much easier to check on the PokeGym's Researching Tower.

[bobakitty]

So is Roseanne's Research legal or not? It's OP8 but I don't see it on this list... it is in the Research Tower though... confused.

Look again. It is not in the research tower and is not legal.

I guess soooo, I just prefer to look on a site where people aren't telling me a card came out almost a year and a half after it really did. But thankssssssssssssss

[bobakitty]

Umm yeah it is
http://pokegym.net/tower/rtmodified.php
Look to the right it's listed alphabetically on the modified list.
http://pokegym.net/forums/view.php?p...&imageid=40062
