Top Pokémon TCG Pocket Set Picks: Sun & Moon FOMO

Oct 14,25

Inferno Dragon Gains Evolution Upgrade in Clash Royale After Nine Years

The Extradimensional Crisis trailer instantly transported me back to Pokémon's Sun & Moon era - when I first noticed how creatively bizarre the TCG could become. Seeing Ultra Beasts emerge in Pocket with their chaotic designs reminded me of opening Crimson Invasion packs, bewildered by these interdimensional creatures. Messy? Absolutely. Perfect? Strangely, yes. Let's revisit Alola through some Sun & Moon era highlights.

Top Sun & Moon Pokémon Cards

Umbreon GX 154/149 $58.99 at TCG Player

Espeon GX 152/149 $36.69 at TCG Player

Sylveon GX 158/145 $194.00 at TCG Player

Charizard GX 150/147 $350.00 at TCG Player

Mewtwo GX 78/73 $373.99 at TCG Player

This new set weaves together elements from across that experimental era - Buzzwole, Nihilego, and Lusamine's peculiar energy effects create nostalgic synergy. It captures Forbidden Light's unpredictability, Ultra Prism's flair, and Hidden Fates' shimmering excess.

Cosmic Eclipse Highlights

Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff GX $170.00 at TCG Player

Blastoise & Piplup GX $264.99 at TCG Player

Cosmic Eclipse culminated the Sun & Moon era spectacularly with Character Rares. Seeing the Arceus/Dialga/Palkia GX card displayed at a trade table was breathtaking. Rosa's Full Art radiated quiet strength, while the Pikachu Character Rare's heartwarming artwork stood apart from standard releases.

Hidden Fates: Shiny Vault

Mewtwo GX SV59 $64.00 at TCG Player

Espeon GX SV60 $100.00 at TCG Player

August 2019's Hidden Fates redefined hype. The Shiny Vault overflowed with treasures, crowned by Charizard GX. Witnessing someone pull it locally created stunned silence. While I only got a shiny Rowlet, every pack felt potentially explosive with Umbreon GX, Mewtwo GX, and the legendary birds trio awaiting discovery.
