BREAKthrough introduced Pokémon BREAK, a type of Pokémon. Pokémon BREAK are an additional type of Evolution.

There are no specific drawbacks when playing a Pokémon BREAK. Pokémon BREAK are printed horizontally. The Pokémon are featured in CGI and completely covered in gold, with sparks surrounding it, and a unique squared Holofoil pattern in the background. The illustration covers almost the entire card.
