Crimson Invasion
Set Details
Crimson Chaos Across Alola!
The mysterious Ultra Beasts have arrived, invading the Alola region as crimson-tinged Pokémon-GX: Nihilego-GX, Buzzwole-GX, Kartana-GX, and the ravenous Guzzlord-GX! Can Silvally-GX and the other allies of Alola defend the islands—or will the Ultra Beasts take control? Find out when you battle for the prize with the Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon—Crimson Invasion expansion!
Crimson Invasion Pokémon Set is the fourth main expansion of the Sun & Moon Series, arriving in Japan on September 15, 2017 as the dual blocks Awakened Heroes and Ultradimensional Beasts, and hitting English markets on November 3, 2017. Centered on the “red invasion” of Alola’s fearsome Ultra Beasts, this 124‑card set (111 base plus 13 Secret Rares) introduces the Synthetic Pokémon Silvally‑GX alongside an all‑star roster of Ultra Beast Pokémon‑GX. From the shimmering sands of Melemele Island to the depths of Ultra Space, Crimson Invasion Pokémon Set brings the next wave of Generation VII power to your deck.
At its core, Crimson Invasion Pokémon Set debuts Ultra Beast Pokémon‑GX—each distinguished by a fiery red GX logo and a red‑and‑black type bar beneath their HP. Heavy hitters like Nihilego‑GX (complete with “Acid Spray” to whittle away at Prize cards), Buzzwole‑GX (“Ultra Fist” lets you attach energy from the discard pile), Guzzlord‑GX, and Kartana‑GX turn the tide with explosive GX attacks that reward bold play. Rounding out the GX lineup are fan‑favorites like Gyarados‑GX, Alolan Golem‑GX, and the set’s star Silvally‑GX, offering versatile “Cross Impact” combos. Each pull gleams behind the sleek Water‑Web holofoil, making every card feel like a prized trophy.
Beyond battlefield dominance, Crimson Invasion Pokémon Set is packed with collector’s treats. The Japanese split ensures Awakened Heroes contains no Darkness‑ or Fairy‑types, while Ultradimensional Beasts omits Fire and Metal‑types—encouraging social trades to complete your collection. Both expansions were the first in the Sun & Moon Era to guarantee at least one Secret Rare (or better) in every booster box, making every box a high‑stakes hunt. Fun nods to Alola’s lore include reverse‑holo Beast Ring Trainer cards, a special “Devoured Field” Stadium that mirrors Ultra Wormholes, and striking full‑art profiles of Beast Boosters like Celesteela‑GX and Xurkitree‑GX. Whether you’re building an Ultra Beast deck or chasing that elusive Secret Rare, Crimson Invasion Pokémon Set delivers a seismic shake‑up to the TCG.
