Guardians Rising

Series: Sun & Moon

Release date: May 5, 2017

Cards: 145 (24 secret)

Set code: SM2

Two of Alola's four island guardians arrive as Pokémon-GX, Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele, and the second of them carries Wonder Tag, which fetches any Supporter card straight out of the deck the moment Tapu Lele is put on the bench. Twenty four cards are numbered past the end of the list. The English release is assembled from four Japanese products at once, the paired expansions Islands Await You and Alolan Moonlight, the Sun & Moon subset and the Rockruff Full Power Deck. Alolan Ninetales-GX, Metagross-GX, Sylveon-GX and Kommo-o-GX lead the rest of the GX run, every one of them rendered by 5ban Graphics. Kahuna Hala and Captain Mallow put the island trial roles onto Supporter cards. Japan had the two halves in March 2017, two months ahead of the English packs. Guardians Rising (SM2) was released on May 5, 2017 in the Sun & Moon series, with 145 cards plus 24 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Sylveon GX #158 (Secret Rare), at $99.50 (median of 5 sales over 30 days, October 1, 2026).
