About Tidal Storm
What Tidal Storm is
Tidal Storm is one half of the fifth expansion block of the XY era in Japan, released on December 13, 2014 alongside Gaia Volcano. It has 70 numbered cards plus 10 secret rares for 80 in total. The block drew on Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and introduced Ancient Traits, special effects shown in a bar across artwork that fills three quarters of the card. Tidal Storm is the Kyogre side, with Kyogre EX and Primal Kyogre EX, Gardevoir EX and M Gardevoir EX, Wailord EX and the Hoenn Water starters. The English Primal Clash of February 4, 2015 combined both halves into 164 cards.
What makes Tidal Storm different
- Primal Kyogre EX The full art Primal Kyogre EX leads the hub, and the regular and full art Kyogre EX sit right behind it.
- Ancient Traits debut The block introduced Ancient Traits, and the three quarter artwork frame of those cards is unique to this era.
