Steam Siege
Set Details
Dual Powers Clash!
Long years of stability come to an end when Shiny Mega Gardevoir-EX lays siege to the mighty Gear Palace with a host of greedy forces. The Mythical Steam Pokémon Volcanion must wield the dual powers of fire and water to stop them! As the battle rages, Xerneas BREAK and Yveltal BREAK face off in the Pokémon TCG: XY—Steam Siege expansion!
Steam Siege Pokémon Set is the eleventh main expansion of the Pokémon TCG XY Series, released in Japan on June 17, 2016 as the dual expansions Fever‑Burst Fighter and Cruel Traitor, and in English on August 3, 2016. Drawing inspiration from Pokémon X & Y, this set spotlights the Steam Pokémon Volcanion‑EX alongside Generation VI VIPokémon, classic Pokémon‑EX, powerful M Pokémon‑EX, and the ever‑dynamic Pokémon BREAK cards. As the final release of the XY BREAK Era in Japan, Steam Siege Pokémon Set delivers a fitting crescendo of mechanics and artwork for both collectors and battlers.
One of the standout features of Steam Siege Pokémon Set is its introduction of dual‑type Pokémon: each card displays the creature’s two types via a bold diagonal stripe, with one half of the background tinted to represent its primary type and the other half indicating its secondary type. This visual innovation pairs perfectly with the Shiny art treatment on select GX and EX cards, making pulls feel like uncovering hidden treasures in a steam‑powered battlefield. Volcanion‑EX’s fiery attacks and robust HP make it a formidable centerpiece, while BREAK cards continue to enhance your Basics with extra HP and new attacks without changing their underlying Weaknesses or Retreat Cost.
Beyond gameplay, Steam Siege Pokémon Set is packed with delightful details that keep fans coming back. Look for special display tins featuring Volcanion‑EX promos, as well as blister packs that include pin badges and online code cards. Keep an eye out for secret‑rare variants—like the mirror‑foil Volcanion‑EX—that shimmer with molten energy. The set’s art direction, blending industrial gears and volcanic eruptions, evokes a steampunk spirit that ties back to Volcanion’s lore. Whether you’re drafting at league night, fine‑tuning a dual‑type deck, or hunting that elusive Shiny Volcanion, Steam Siege Pokémon Set offers an unforgettable finale to the XY BREAK saga.
