|
The release of the BREAKthrough expansion on November 4, 2015 marked the start of the XY BREAK Series, essentially a continuation of the XY Series with particular focus on the Pokémon BREAK mechanic that would go on to be a facet of the expansions that followed. An array of promotional boxes, play accessories, and other merchandise was made available to players and collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game alike. The following is a chronological list of all TCG related merchandise made available during this Series.
BREAKthrough Theme Decks
The first products made available for the XY BREAK Series were the two Theme Decks released for the BREAKthrough expansion on November 4, 2015. Featuring Raichu and Noivern respectively, the Burning Spark and Night Striker decks are loosely based on the Japanese Raichu BREAK and Noivern BREAK Evolution Packs. Burning Spark includes Fire-type and Lightning-type Pokémon, while Night Striker includes Psychic-type and Darkness-type Pokémon. Each Theme Deck also contained the typical damage counters, coin, playmat, deck box, and code card for the TCGO. The featured coins are of Mega Mewtwo.
