A Supreme Connection of Stars and Pokémon!

At the apex of the Sun & Moon Series, the Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon—Cosmic Eclipse expansion boosts the connection of Pokémon and Trainers, and it launches TAG TEAM combinations to new levels! Jump into battle with Charizard & Braixen-GX, Venusaur & Snivy-GX, Blastoise & Piplup-GX, and Solgaleo & Lunala-GX, along with the triple TAG TEAM of Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX, plus many more! Feel the stellar power of Pokémon with the Sun & Moon—Cosmic Eclipse expansion!

The Cosmic Eclipse Pokémon Set shines as the grand finale of the Sun & Moon Series, bringing the curtain down on Generation VII with style and spectacle. Released in Japan as Alter Genesis on September 6, 2019, and in English on November 1, 2019, this twelfth and final main expansion is steeped in the lore of Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. From the moment you crack open a pack, you’re transported to Ultra Space, where legendary partnerships and cosmic clashes define the ultimate showdown.

At the heart of the Cosmic Eclipse Pokémon Set are the innovative TAG TEAM Pokémon‑GX cards—now featuring not just duos but triple‑partner lineups that share a common type for earth‑shaking GX attacks. These Basic TAG TEAMs boast colossal HP and award three Prize cards when Knocked Out, injecting every match with high‑risk, high‑reward drama. Complementing them are brand‑new TAG TEAM Supporter cards, each showcasing two iconic Trainers joining forces to supercharge your strategy. Look for the bold yellow TAG TEAM banner beneath the card name and prepare for game‑changing effects that only a united front can deliver.

Beyond raw power, Cosmic Eclipse dazzles with its Full Art Trainer Gallery subset, where beloved Trainers are paired visually with the Pokémon they’re most famous for. Imagine Ash & Pikachu, Lillie & Clefairy, and Brock & Onix rendered in sweeping, ultra‑detailed scenes that capture both character and bond. These cards aren’t just gorgeous—they celebrate the human‑Pokémon connections that fueled the entire Sun & Moon Era, making them prized display pieces as much as tournament staples.

But the real magic lies in the details. Cosmic Eclipse was the first set to spotlight three‑way TAG TEAM‑GX, unleashing combos like never before, and it quietly introduced secret miscut variants—think correctly centered holo crescents or border‑extending Mega Evolutions—that have obsessed collectors worldwide. Early Elite Trainer Boxes became hot tickets as fans realized this was the last chance to snag Generation VII’s ultimate GXs in fresh print. Even the set symbol—a triple orbit motif—hints at unity across worlds and types, tying together Alola’s spirit of teamwork in a final, unforgettable cosmic embrace.
