BREAKpoint

Series: XY

Release date: February 3, 2016

Cards: 122 (4 secret)

Set code: XY9

Greninja BREAK is the card this expansion is remembered for, and it never has to attack: Giant Water Shuriken discards a Water Energy from your hand and puts six damage counters on any Pokémon the opponent has. Puzzle of Time sits beside it, an Item that does almost nothing alone and pulls two cards back out of the discard pile when a second copy is played in the same turn. Shiny colouring runs right through the release, and every Gyarados-EX print in it uses that palette. Espeon-EX and Darkrai-EX sit in the Full Art run behind the two Gyarados, both drawn by Ryo Ueda. Only one card is numbered past the end of the list. Japan had the cards in December 2015 as Rage of the Broken Heavens, with a wrapper painted by PLANETA Otani. BREAKpoint (XY9) was released on February 3, 2016 in the XY series, with 122 cards plus 4 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Gyarados EX #123 (Secret Rare), at $115.50 (median of 17 sales over 7 days, October 1, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $2,424.68 (median of 5 sales over 90 days, August 30, 2026).

It answers the attacker rather than helping its holder.

The balloon is then discarded at the end of the opponent's turn, whether it triggered or not.
