Information
Evolutions is the thirteenth expansion of the English XY Series, and the fifth of XY BREAK. The set features a large number of Pokémon from Generation I and has modernized reprints of cards from Base Set, as well as a few promotional cards. The Expansion Pack, its Japanese equivalent, is a Concept Pack instead of a main set release.
The set continues to feature Mega Evolution as powerful Pokémon-EX. It was released in Japan on September 16, 2016, and on November 2, 2016 in English. Evolutions contains 113 cards, while Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary has 103 cards.
It was released on September 29, 2016 in Korea. Its Korean release, BASE PACK 20th Anniversary, is a unique combination of both English and Japanese releases. For example, its name is a combination of Base Set and its Japanese set name (Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary), referencing how the TCG was originally released and maintained by Wizards of the Coast, along with its English counterpart at the time, but is now released and maintained by Pokémon Korea, which is closer to its current Japanese counterpart. Furthermore, while the set icon and rarity for this set is based on the Japanese version, the set list is a combination which includes both cards that were listed in the English set but not Japanese (for example Slowbro-EX) and vice versa (for example Pikachu-EX). the only difference between the Korean and both English and Japanese set lists is that the Korean set doesn't include any Secret Rare (English) or Uncommon (Japanese) secret cards except Here Comes Team Rocket!, which is included as part of the main set instead (#90/100). Base Pack contains 113 cards.
Both Evolutions and Base Pack has 12 new Pokémon-EX, including 5 Mega Evolution Pokémon, and 4 new Pokémon BREAK cards.
