What’s in the base Sun & Moon set?
The base Sun & Moon set (172 cards, February 2017) started the era. It’s best known for its Eeveelution GX cards. The chase card is the secret-rare Umbreon GX (#154), usually the most valuable single in the set. Next come Espeon GX (#152) and the Lillie full-art trainer. Not sure which set a card belongs to? Our guide to reading a card’s set symbol and number walks through it. See the full ranked list, with each card’s live value, on the Sun & Moon card list.
Which Sun & Moon set is worth the most?
Value concentrates in a few places across the era, and set size does not predict it. The money sits in these pockets:
- Shiny Vault cards in Hidden Fates and the shining Pokémon in Shining Legends. Small sets, big chase cards.
- Rainbow and gold secret rares in the large late-era sets: Unified Minds and Cosmic Eclipse.
- Alternate-art and full-art trainers across every set.
A 69-card set like Hidden Fates can hold pricier singles than a 271-card set. If you are deciding between eras to open, our take on which Pokémon set is worth opening covers the trade-offs. The only reliable way to know a card’s worth, though, is its current market price.
