GX cards feature powerful GX attacks that can only be used once per game, adding strategic depth. The set showcases Alolan regional variants and the legendary duo Solgaleo and Lunala from the Alola region.

Espeon GX Full Art (#140) and Umbreon GX Full Art (#142) are the top pulls at $25-50 each, driven by Eeveelution demand. Lunala GX Full Art (#141) and Solgaleo GX Full Art (#143) command $15-30 as box legendaries. The secret rare Lurantis GX (#150) and Ultra Ball (#161) gold card add chase variety.
Советы по завершению
Sun & Moon base introduced the secret rare tier above Full Art, including rainbow rare GX and gold Trainer cards. This means more chase cards spread across the 163-card set. The Alolan form cards make great thematic sub-collections within the set.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Q1 What is a GX attack in Pokemon TCG?
A GX attack is an extremely powerful move that can only be used once per game (not once per card). Once any of your Pokemon uses a GX attack, no other Pokemon on your team can use one for the rest of that game.
Q2 How are GX cards different from EX cards?
GX cards evolve from regular Pokemon (unlike Basic EX cards), have a one-time GX attack, and give up 2 Prize cards when knocked out. They replaced EX cards starting with the Sun & Moon era and featured new border designs.
Q3 What Alolan Pokemon are in the Sun & Moon base set?
The set includes Alolan Rattata, Raticate, Grimer, Muk, Meowth, Persian, Vulpix, and Ninetales among other Alolan variants. These regional forms feature different types and artwork from their Kanto originals.
Q4 What are rainbow rare cards?
Rainbow rare cards are the highest rarity tier introduced in Sun & Moon, featuring a multicolored rainbow foil pattern instead of standard artwork. They are numbered as secret rares and are the most difficult pulls in each set.
