Alter Genesis

Series: Sun & Moon Series

Release date: September 6, 2019

Cards: 95 (22 secret)

Set code: SM12

This is where the Sun and Moon era ends in Japan, the twelfth and last main expansion before Sword and Shield took over. Supporters joined the TAG TEAM mechanic here, with Cynthia & Caitlin, Mallow & Lana and Red & Blue each pairing two characters and each offering a bonus paid for by discarding cards. Only one of the three TAG TEAM trios the game ever printed is in it, Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX. Naganadel & Guzzlord-GX and Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff-GX are the other two teams, and Volcarona-GX, Oricorio-GX and Flygon-GX are the single Pokémon-GX. It reached shops on the first Friday of September 2019, a month before the Tag All Stars retrospective closed the block. Cosmic Eclipse took it abroad that November, absorbing the Remix Bout and Dream League subsets on the way. Alter Genesis (SM12) was released on September 6, 2019 in the Sun & Moon series, with 95 cards plus 22 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX #100 (Super Rare), at $591.82 (median of 3 sales over 90 days, August 26, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $448.32 (median of 12 sales over 90 days, September 26, 2026).
