About Lost Thunder

What Lost Thunder is

Lost Thunder is the eighth main expansion of the Sun & Moon Series, released in English on November 2, 2018 under the set code LOT. It has 214 cards in the numbered set plus 22 secret rares, 236 in total, and combines the Japanese Super-Burst Impact, released on September 7, 2018 with 111 cards, with the Thunderclap Spark and Fairy Rise subsets of July 6 and August 3, 2018. The set is based on Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, visits the Johto region and features the Thunderclap Pokémon Zeraora.

The set holds 13 Pokémon-GX, from Shuckle-GX and Sceptile-GX to Blacephalon-GX, Zeraora-GX, Tyranitar-GX and Lugia-GX, with the Celebi and Ditto Prism Star cards among its Johto and Kanto arrivals. Its 33 ultra rares cover the regular GX prints, thirteen full art GX at 195 to 207 and seven full art Supporters at 208 to 214: Faba, Judge, Kahili, Mina, Morty, Professor Elm's Lecture and Whitney. The 22 secret rares run from 215 to 236 with rainbow rare prints of all thirteen GX and nine gold Items from Adventure Bag to Wait and See Hammer.

Grass is the deepest type in the set with 43 cards, and Ken Sugimori illustrated 19 of them, many of them Johto Pokémon returning in his original style.

What makes Lost Thunder different

Three Japanese sets in one Lost Thunder folds the Thunderclap Spark and Fairy Rise subsets into Super-Burst Impact, which is why it has 236 cards, 13 Pokémon-GX and 22 secret rares against a 111 card Japanese main expansion.
Mimikyu and Lugia at the top The rainbow rare Mimikyu-GX 226 and Lugia-GX 227 lead the set's market, with the full art Lugia-GX 207 and Mimikyu-GX 206 close behind, ahead of the mascot Zeraora-GX.
The Johto Gym Leaders Morty, Whitney and Professor Elm's Lecture join Faba, Judge, Kahili and Mina as full art Supporters, and Professor Elm's Lecture 213 became a staple that was reprinted as a Regional Championships and League promo.
Celebi and Ditto Prism Stars Celebi and Ditto appear as Prism Star cards, one per deck and sent to the Lost Zone when discarded, and the Ditto Prism Star 154 is a top ten card in the set.
Launch Display and snap bracelets The Lost Thunder Launch Display packed 36 packs with four of each Theme Deck and ten Poké Ball snap bracelets, a new addition to the product line.

How Lost Thunder arrived

Lost Thunder released in English on November 2, 2018, two weeks after the McDonald's Collection 2018 promotion on October 16, 2018 and three months before Team Up on February 1, 2019. In Japan, Thunderclap Spark released on July 6, 2018, Fairy Rise on August 3, 2018 and Super-Burst Impact on September 7, 2018, following Sky-Splitting Charisma and preceding Tag Bolt.

Prereleases ran on the weekends of October 20 and 21 and October 27 and 28, 2018 with Build & Battle Boxes of four packs and a 23 card Evolution pack carrying one of four stamped promos: Suicune, Raikou, Giratina or Tapu Lele, and the boxes reached retail on November 16, 2018. Launch day brought the Blazing Volcano and Storm Caller Theme Decks with Cracked Ice Holofoil Entei and Raikou, the Zeraora Elite Trainer Box with eight packs and 65 sleeves, single pack blisters with Rowlet or Salandit promos and three pack blisters with alternate art Alolan Exeggutor or Altaria.

Three card Mini Packs reached Dollar Tree stores from early December 2018.

Lost Thunder products

Lost Thunder was sold in booster packs, booster boxes, blisters, two Theme Decks, the Zeraora Elite Trainer Box and Build & Battle Boxes. The sealed table above tracks the products still trading today.

Collecting and grading Lost Thunder

The rainbow rare Mimikyu-GX 226 and Lugia-GX 227 lead the pack pulled cards, with the full art Lugia-GX 207 and Mimikyu-GX 206, the Ditto Prism Star 154, the full art Professor Elm's Lecture 213 and the rainbow Suicune-GX 220 and Tyranitar-GX 223 behind them. Low print variants also rank high, including the Cosmos Holofoil Giratina 97 from the Giratina Mini Album blister, the Cosmos Holofoil Suicune 59 and Typhlosion 42 and the Umbreon 120 whose Cosmos Holofoil came from Unified Minds blisters. The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value.

Sun & Moon rainbow rares are textured and scratch easily, so PSA 10 copies of Mimikyu-GX 226 and Lugia-GX 227 carry a wide premium over PSA 9. With 236 cards and a heavy print run, most of the set is cheap raw, and the market rewards the rainbow rares, the Prism Stars and clean copies of the variants.

Sealed Lost Thunder is a mid priced Sun & Moon era box, and the sealed table above tracks what boxes, packs, blisters, Elite Trainer Boxes and Build & Battle Boxes trade for today.
