Set Details
Fiery Battles and Deep Shadows!
What strange fires lurk in the shadows? Minions of Team Skull and a cavalcade of new Pokémon stand ready to battle in the dark of night and in the blazing sun! Slug it out with new titans like Necrozma-GX, Marshadow-GX, and Tapu Fini-GX, or battle with trusty allies from Machamp-GX and Charizard-GX to Darkrai-GX and Ho-Oh-GX. Fight for what’s right with the Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon—Burning Shadows expansion!
Burning Shadows Pokémon Set is the third main expansion of the Sun & Moon Series, debuting in Japan on June 16, 2017 as To Have Seen the Battle Rainbow and Darkness that Consumes Light, and in English on August 4, 2017. As the 74th expansion of the Pokémon TCG, this set ushered in the next wave of Generation VII beasts straight from Alola, spotlighting the enigmatic Prism Pokémon Necrozma‑GX alongside a host of powerful Pokémon‑GX. Designed for both collectors and competitive players, Burning Shadows blends high‑stakes gameplay with the dual themes of light and darkness.
At its core, Burning Shadows Pokémon Set boasts an electrifying lineup of Pokémon‑GX—from fan‑favorite Charizard‑GX roaring with flame‑fueled fury to the stealthy Marshadow‑GX wielding shadowy might. Standouts like Ho‑Oh‑GX, Darkrai‑GX, Salazzle‑GX, and Machamp‑GX deliver game‑turning attacks and abilities, while Necrozma‑GX captures the set’s prism motif with “Prismatic Burst,” letting you draw cards for each Energy attached to it. Booster packs unveil stunning full‑art illustrations, each card shining behind the set’s signature Water‑Web holofoil that evokes Alola’s tropical seas and shifting skies.
Beyond its powerhouse mechanics, Burning Shadows is brimming with delightful surprises. The Japanese release was complemented by the Facing a New Trial subset—mirror‑holofoil reprints that add extra sparkle to beloved Pokémon like Alolan Ninetales and Acerola. Trainers will hunt down secret‑rare Rainbow Rares—keep an eye out for ultra‑shiny Necrozma‑GX and Salazzle‑GX—while themed tins, blister packs, and code cards bring a touch of Team Skull mischief to every pull. With its vibrant art, strategic depth, and a perfect balance of light and dark, Burning Shadows Pokémon Set remains a must‑own expansion in the Sun & Moon saga.
