Eevee fans and players alike also LOVED Sylveon-GX, with the full art print ranking amongst my favourites. Thematically the set is probably one of the strongest, featuring two of the Alolan island guardians (Tapu Koko-GX and Tapu Lele-GX) making their debuts, and introducing us to a bunch more Sun & Moon Pokemon for the first time on beautiful cards such as Alolan Ninetales-GX, Lycanroc-GX.

Our second set on the list is also the second Sun & Moon series set released, Guardians Rising. Dedenne-GX sees play in a ton of decks, and the full art versions of Welder and Green's Exploration are absolutely stunning and are popular amongst collectors and players alike. The set contained the extremely popular pairing of Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX, as well many other favourites such as Greninja & Zoroark-GX and Lucario & Melmetal-GX.Īlongside the Tag Teams, Unbroken Bonds is also defined by some powerful (and occasionally beautiful) tournament cards. The third set on our list also contains another Charizard card in the form of Reshiram & Charizard-GX, but there is so much to love about Unbroken Bonds outside of the aforementioned fire-type. Cosmic Eclipse will definitely be a big seller when it gets its official release on November 2nd 2019. The final Sun & Moon series set also contains a ton of strong and beautiful looking GX cards including Reshiram & Zekrom-GX, Charizard & Braixen-GX (rainbow rare already selling for $150+), and Silvally-GX. Featuring a huge range of Pokemon alongside some of their famous trainers, these “secret rares” can be found in the reverse holo space in the booster packs, and will be popular amongst players and collectors alike. There is so much to love, but the full art Character Rare (CHL in Japan) cards are a good start. The most recent (and biggest of all time) set, Cosmic Eclipse, definitely deserves a place on this list. A whole ton of useful trainers in addition, made Lost Thunder one of my strong favourites. The name “Lost Thunder” is simple and effective and matches up with many of the Pokemon featured, such as lightning-type Zeraora who received his first card in the set (Zeraora-GX), as well as more popular Pokemon such as fan-favorite Lugia-GX.įrom the competitive side of the TCG, Lost Thunder had many incredible GX's including the beautiful Alolan Ninetales-GX, Ultra Beast Blacephalon-GX, and the previously mentioned Zeraora-GX. There is a lot to love about the last set before we begun the current Tag Team block. This list only will contain main series sets otherwise Shining Legends and Hidden Fates would definitely feature highly on this Top 5! This list is mainly focused on coolness, theme and value of the set for collectors, but will also have brief mentions of sets containing powerful cards for tournament players and other relevant pieces of information.

Since Sun & Moon base set was released in early 2017, we've had a whopping 11 more Sun & Moon series main sets, as well as many more subsets and mini sets. With Cosmic Eclipse being our final Sun & Moon series set, I thought it would be a great time to take a look back at some of the best (and worst!) sets from Gen 7, before we get our first Sword & Shield set next February!
