GX Ultra Shiny

Series: Sun & Moon Series

Release date: November 2, 2018

Cards: 150 (100 secret)

Set code: SM8b

A hundred of the two hundred and fifty cards in this High Class Pack are secrets, which at the end of 2018 made it the largest set the game had printed in any language. Packs were sold with ten cards rather than the usual five to cover them. Eighty three of those secrets are shiny Pokémon in two tiers, a plain one that received fresh artwork and one of Pokémon-GX whose earlier Full Art prints were simply recoloured. The official card list left every one of them off it, and told buyers to go and find them instead. Ten Supporter full arts open the secret block at 151, four of those by Kagemaru Himeno, and seven gold Pokémon-GX close it at 244. The West lifted the whole shiny block the following year and appended it to Hidden Fates as the Shiny Vault. GX Ultra Shiny (SM8b) was released on November 2, 2018 in the Sun & Moon series, with 150 cards plus 100 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Rayquaza GX #240 (Shiny Super Rare), at $362.51 (median of 4 sales over 90 days, October 1, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $792.54 (median of 7 sales over 90 days, September 26, 2026).
