'''Ultra Prism''' is the name given to the fifth main expansion of the ''Sun & Moon Series'' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In Japan, it was released as the '''Ultra Sun · Ultra Moon''' dual sets that make up the fifth expansion block in the Pokémon Card Game Sun & Moon Era. It is the first expansion to be centered around [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], which was released about one month beforehand.

The English expansion was released on February 2, 2018, while the Japanese subsets were released on December 8, 2017. | ||
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). | |||
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 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.
