Overview

Unbroken Bonds is a 234-card expansion from the Sun & Moon series, released on May 3, 2019. The set features GX and Tag Team GX cards alongside the standard mix of Pokemon, Trainer, and Energy cards. Notable cards include Celesteela GX, Persian GX, Whimsicott GX, Gardevoir & Sylveon GX.

Best for

  • GX-era collectors tracking full arts and rainbows
  • people attempting a wide Unbroken Bonds master set who will split base numbers from high-number / special rows
  • buyers who already know Celesteela GX / Persian GX is the expensive row in Unbroken Bonds

Skip this path if

  • you want SV-only rarity language and nothing earlier
  • you want a weekend master set — Unbroken Bonds is 234 cards; budget the chase tier alone

Common mistakes

The expensive mistake on Unbroken Bonds is pricing rainbow / full-art secrets like regular GX holos. Set code sm10 (2019) is the membership test — character name alone will not save a bad buy. Budget Celesteela GX / Persian GX as priority singles; the other 232 cards are not the same project.

What to check first

Pull up Celesteela GX / Persian GX first — number, finish, and surface — then decide if the ask is real. Parallel check: full collector number (including secret IDs), GX vs full art vs secret. Only after that does the full Unbroken Bonds checklist tell you what is left.

Top of the chart

Most valuable cards

The top chase cards from Unbroken Bonds include Celesteela GX, Persian GX, Whimsicott GX. Full art, secret rare, and alternate art variants carry the highest premiums. Other collectible cards include Gardevoir & Sylveon GX, Lucario & Melmetal GX, Honchkrow GX. Condition matters — near-mint copies command significantly higher prices than played cards.

Tips to finish the set

At 234 cards, Unbroken Bonds is a large set that requires patience to complete. Buy singles for the rarest cards rather than chasing them through sealed product. Start with the common and uncommon base, then work through the holo rares. Secret rares and full arts are best purchased individually.
