The Best of XY

Series: Sun & Moon Series

Release date: April 21, 2017

Cards: 171 (17 secret)

Set code: XY

Packs held fifteen cards instead of the usual five, with a Pokémon-EX, an M Pokémon-EX or a Pokémon BREAK guaranteed in each, plus a Reverse Starlight Holofoil. The list is mostly reprints of what mattered across the XY and XY BREAK years, with a few new cards and a block of full arts added on the end. Ten special Energy close the numbered run, one for every type in the game at the time bar Colorless, from Herbal to Double Dragon. Seven of the seventeen cards past that total are Supporters, N, Hex Maniac and Karen among them, and Shaymin-EX takes the last number. Sun and Moon had already begun when it arrived, and it stands as the final subset of the Japanese XY BREAK era. The Best of XY (XY) was released on April 21, 2017 in the Sun & Moon series, with 171 cards plus 17 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Yveltal EX #187, at $592.91 (median of 5 sales over 90 days, September 19, 2026).
