The expansion introduces and reintroduces several elements to the Trading Card Game. {{TCG|Prism Star}} cards are a brand new classification of cards and consist of more powerful Basic Pokémon, Trainer cards, and Energy cards that a player can only play one copy of in each deck. Additionally, the [[Lost Zone]] returns, with Prism Star cards going to the Lost Zone when discarded. This set also brings [[Fossil]] Pokémon into the Sun & Moon Series, having returned to the original mechanic of Evolving Fossil Pokémon from a shared Trainer card (this time known as {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}) which can be played as a Basic Pokémon. The Japanese Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon sets also began two trends which would be followed by the next several main expansions in Japan: basing the cards on a mix of [[Generation VII]] and an older generation and featuring two separate cards for every Basic Pokémon which evolves twice (typically one has greater utility at the cost of lower HP). | The expansion introduces and reintroduces several elements to the Trading Card Game. {{TCG|Prism Star}} cards are a brand new classification of cards and consist of more powerful Basic Pokémon, Trainer cards, and Energy cards that a player can only play one copy of in each deck.

Ultra Prism contains 173 cards, including 10 new {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}, 6 new Prism Star cards, and several Pokémon native to the [[Alola]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions. The Japanese equivalent Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon each feature 78 cards (excluding {{TCG|Secret card}}s), with Ultra Sun featuring Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} and Ultra Moon featuring Dawn Wings Necrozma. The English expansion brought together the release of the two Japanese subsets and the {{TCG|GX Battle Boost}} subset. | |||
Ultra | The Japanese set has the notable feature of only including certain types between the two halves. Ultra Sun features {{ct|Grass}}, {ct|Fire}}, {{ct|Darkness}}, and {{ct|Metal}} Pokémon, while Ultra Moon features {{ct|Water}}, {{ct|Lightning}}, {{ct|Psychic}}, and {{ct|Fighting}} Pokémon. {{ct|Dragon}} and {{ct|Colorless}} Pokémon are split between the two while {{ct|Fairy}} Pokémon are completely absent. This feature is lost with the English localization into one set and the addition of cards originating from GX Battle Boost. | ||
