About Sword & Shield
What Sword & Shield is
Sword & Shield is the first main expansion of the Sword & Shield Series, released in English on February 7, 2020 and built from the Japanese Sword and Shield dual sets of December 6, 2019. It has 202 cards in the numbered set plus 14 secret rares, 216 in total, and it is the first set to feature Generation VIII Pokémon, Pokémon V and Pokémon VMAX, with Zacian V 138 and Zamazenta V 139 at its center and Snorlax VMAX 142 among 17 Pokémon V and 6 VMAX.
The set carried rule changes for the whole Series: the Fairy type was retired into Psychic, Poison Pokémon moved to Darkness and the player going first could no longer play a Supporter on the first turn. The full arts run from Dhelmise V 187 to the Supporters Bede 199, Marnie 200, Professor's Research 201 and Team Yell Grunt 202, and the secret rares are rainbow prints from 203 to 210, gold Zacian V 211 and Zamazenta V 212 and gold Items from 213 to 216.
What makes Sword & Shield different
- The League Pikachu A League stamped Pikachu 65 leads the chase list in PSA 10, with the Reverse Cosmos Holo, reverse holo and regular prints of the same card all in the top fifteen.
- Snorlax VMAX Snorlax VMAX ranks in the set's top ten in both its regular print 142 and its rainbow secret rare 206, with Snorlax V 141 and the reverse holo Snorlax 140 close behind.
- Gengar in three prints Gengar 85 ranks in the top seven as a holo, a reverse holo and a Prize Pack print, a rare holo outranking most of the set's Pokémon V.
How Sword & Shield arrived
Sword and Shield released in Japan on December 6, 2019, and the English Sword & Shield followed on February 7, 2020, fourteen weeks after Cosmic Eclipse on November 1, 2019, with Prerelease events from January 25 to February 2, 2020 that introduced the Build & Battle Box. It launched with the Rillaboom, Cinderace and Inteleon Theme Decks and two Elite Trainer Boxes for Zacian and Zamazenta, and Rebel Clash followed on May 1, 2020.
Sword & Shield products
Sword & Shield was sold in booster packs, booster boxes, three Theme Decks, two Elite Trainer Boxes, Build & Battle Boxes and blisters. The sealed table above tracks them.
Collecting and grading Sword & Shield
The League stamped Pikachu 65 leads the chase list in PSA 10, with the Prize Pack Gengar 85 tracked beside it, then the reverse holo Snorlax 140, the Reverse Cosmos Holo Pikachu 65, the regular Sobble 54, the Gengar 85 holo, Snorlax VMAX 142 and the rainbow Snorlax VMAX 206. The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value.
As a heavily printed modern set, raw prices are low and PSA 10 rates are high, so value concentrates in stamped prints, reverse holos of popular Pokémon and the Snorlax VMAX prints. Sealed Sword & Shield is widely available, and the sealed table above tracks what boxes, packs and blisters trade for today.
