BREAKpoint
Set Details
BREAKpoint Pokémon Set is the ninth main expansion of the Pokémon TCG’s XY Series, released in Japan on December 11, 2015 as 破天の怒り (Rage of the Broken Heavens) and in English on February 3, 2016. Anchored in the world of Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, this set brings together Generation VI Pokémon alongside fan‑favorites like Pokémon‑EX and M Pokémon‑EX. As the second release in the XY BREAK Era, BREAKpoint builds on the momentum of BREAKthrough, delivering fresh gameplay twists and collectible thrills for both casual battlers and competitive trainers.
At the heart of BREAKpoint Pokémon Set lies the Pokémon BREAK mechanic: horizontal Evolutions that you overlay on matching Pokémon to grant extra HP and powerful new attacks—without changing their original Weaknesses, Resistances, or Retreat Cost. Each BREAK card dazzles in full‑card gold CGI, surrounded by a unique squared holofoil pattern, making cards like Greninja BREAK and Luxray BREAK instant standouts. Meanwhile, staples such as Mega Gyarados‑EX storm the scene with game‑turning “Mega Impact” attacks, and heavy hitters like Gyarados‑EX, Ho‑Oh‑EX, and Scizor‑EX anchor decks with raw power and strategic depth.
Collectors will treasure the chase: 122 standard cards plus one shimmering Secret Rare (123 total) hide within each booster box, and the Japanese title evokes the image of the heavens tearing apart in a burst of primal energy. BREAKpoint Pokémon Set also serves as the curtain call for M Pokémon‑EX in the XY Series, giving M Gyarados‑EX and M Scizor‑EX a spectacular final showcase. From trading to complete your BREAK lineup to hunting that elusive mirror‑foil secret, BREAKpoint remains a landmark expansion where every pull promises a burst of pure TCG excitement.
