Sun & Moon Series

The Sun & Moon era, which ran from 2017 to late 2019, was defined by the introduction of Pokémon-GX. These powerful Pokémon (which could be Basic, Stage 1, or Stage 2) featured high HP and gave up two Prize cards.Their unique feature was the "GX Attack"—a powerful, game-changing move that a player could use only once per entire game. This era later evolved with the introduction of Tag Team-GX cards, which featured two or three Pokémon on a single, powerful Basic card.These had enormous HP and devastating attacks but came at the high risk of giving up three Prize cards. For collectors, the Sun & Moon era is famous for popularizing the "Rainbow Rare" (Hyper Rare) card and dramatically expanding the "Alternate Art" style, especially for the iconic Tag Team cards.
