About XY
What XY is
XY is the first main expansion of the XY Series, released in English on February 5, 2014. It has 146 cards and no secret rares: 48 commons, 42 uncommons, 26 rares, 16 holofoil rares, eight Pokémon-EX and six full art Pokémon-EX from Venusaur EX 141 to Xerneas EX 146. It combines the Japanese Collection X and Collection Y, the dual expansions of December 13, 2013 that opened the XY era with 126 cards between them.
The set is based on Pokémon X and Y and is the first with Generation VI Pokémon, the Kalos Legendaries Xerneas and Yveltal and the Fairy type. It introduced M Pokémon-EX, Mega Evolved Pokémon that evolve from a Pokémon-EX and end the player's turn, printed here as M Venusaur EX 2 and M Blastoise EX 30, and it lowered the game's age rating from 10 and up to 6 and up.
What makes XY different
- The Kanto starter full arts The full art Blastoise EX 142 is the most valuable card in the set in PSA 10 by a wide margin, with the full art Venusaur EX 141 second and Xerneas EX 146 third.
- The LEGO Movie Pikachu A Cosmos Holofoil print of Pikachu 42 was given out at theatrical showings of The LEGO Movie, and it ranks fourth in the set in PSA 10.
- The first Megas M Venusaur EX 2 and M Blastoise EX 30 are the first Mega Evolution cards in the game, and both rank in the set's top ten in PSA 10.
How XY arrived
Collection X and Collection Y released in Japan on December 13, 2013, and the English XY followed on February 5, 2014, thirteen weeks after the Kalos Starter Set on November 8, 2013 and thirteen weeks before Flashfire on May 7, 2014. Prerelease events used a stamped Aegislash 86. The set launched with the Resilient Life and Destruction Rush Theme Decks, built around Cracked Ice Holofoil prints of Xerneas 96 and Yveltal 78, Xerneas and Yveltal Elite Trainer Boxes and six blisters with Cosmos Holofoil promos. Collector Pin blisters followed on February 19, 2014 and the XY Trainer Kit on March 12, 2014.
XY products
XY was sold in booster packs, booster boxes, two Theme Decks, two Elite Trainer Boxes and blisters. The sealed table above tracks them.
Collecting and grading XY
The full art Blastoise EX 142 leads the set in PSA 10, with the full art Venusaur EX 141 second, then Xerneas EX 146, the LEGO Movie Pikachu 42, Skarmory EX 145, Gourgeist 57, Yveltal EX 144, M Venusaur EX 2 and M Blastoise EX 30. The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value.
The full arts carry a wide premium in PSA 10 over PSA 9, and Cosmos Holofoil and reverse holofoil prints are graded and priced separately. Sealed XY remains obtainable, and the sealed table above tracks what boxes, packs and Elite Trainer Boxes trade for today.
