Sun & Moon Starter Set

Series: Sun & Moon Series

Release date: December 9, 2016

Cards: 59

Set code: SMA

Three decks share this numbering, one for each Alola first partner, and each was sold on its own the day the era opened. Decidueye-GX, Incineroar-GX and Primarina-GX head them, and the publisher guaranteed two Pokémon-GX in every box while leaving part of the sixty cards to chance. A GX marker came in each one, to show that the once a game attack had been used, along with a coin, a playmat, a player's guide and a rulebook. None of the fifty nine cards carries a rarity symbol. Toys R Us sold a box holding all three decks together with a Pikachu and a Mimikyu promo that came with nothing else that day. Sun & Moon Starter Set (SMA) was released on December 9, 2016 in the Sun & Moon series, with 59 cards. Its most expensive card is Primarina GX #14.
