Überblick

Fusion Strike holds the record as the largest English Pokemon TCG set ever at 284 cards, released in November 2021. The expansion introduced the third battle style, Fusion Strike (combining Single Strike and Rapid Strike principles), centered around Mew VMAX. Gengar VMAX, Espeon VMAX, and Inteleon VMAX added competitive depth, while the sheer card count made collecting a marathon.

Wertvollste Karten

Gengar VMAX alternate art (#271) is the crown jewel at $100-200+ near-mint, depicting Gengar in a playful nightscape. Espeon VMAX alternate art (#270) commands $60-100+. Mew VMAX alternate art (#269) holds $40-70 with Mew floating among stars. The regular Mew VMAX (#114) is $15-25 as a competitive staple. Greedent VMAX alternate art is a surprise collectible.

Vervollständigungs-Tipps

At 284 cards, Fusion Strike is the most challenging SWSH set to complete. The massive card pool dilutes pull rates significantly, making chase cards harder to find. Many collectors focus on the alternate art subset rather than the full set. The Gengar VMAX and Espeon VMAX alternate arts justify singles purchases over pack openings.

Scan with Pokex

With 284 cards, manual tracking of Fusion Strike is impractical. The scanner catalogs your entire Fusion Strike progress instantly and identifies which of the numerous variants you own. It tracks the Fusion Strike style markers on cards and distinguishes between the standard and alternate art versions.

Q3 Is Mew VMAX competitive?

Mew VMAX was one of the strongest competitive decks in the 2022 format. Its Cross Fusion Strike attack copies any attack from your benched Fusion Strike Pokemon, giving it incredible versatility. The deck consistently placed in top tournament results.

Q4 Do the diluted pull rates affect Fusion Strike value?

Yes, the 284-card size means individual chase cards are harder to pull than in smaller sets. This actually increases the value of the top alternate art cards since fewer are pulled per box, but makes the overall set completion extremely time-consuming.
