Within the XY era, XY5-Bg: Gaia Volcano is a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion that came out on December 13, 2014, the Groudon-side half of a paired release. It carries 80 catalog printings under the set code XY5-Bg. The set is defined by its EX cards and by repeated names such as Aggron EX, Camerupt EX, Bunnelby and Electrike, each printed in two versions. Its top cards are led by Primal Groudon EX, which appears at two rarities, alongside trainer cards like Teammates and Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick. Anyone browsing the Gaia Volcano card list will see a Groudon-centred theme from start to finish.
XY5-Bg: Gaia Volcano was released December 13, 2014.
XY5-Bg: Gaia Volcano has 80 cards.
XY5-Bg: Gaia Volcano is part of the XY era.
The rarity ladder in Gaia Volcano runs from commons, uncommons and rares up to 16 chase-tier cards: 8 Super Rares, 6 Double Rares and 2 Ultra Rares. The most valuable cards are Primal Groudon EX as a Super Rare, then the Super Rare Teammates, Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick and Camerupt EX, with a second Primal Groudon EX at Double Rare in 5th. Value is heavily concentrated, since the top five cards hold 69 percent of the set's total card value. That makes the chase cards of this Japanese release far more important than the bulk that surrounds them.
As of October 2026, Gaia Volcano holds the 9th highest total card value of the 21 comparable XY sets, about 1.3 times the era median, and 90th across the whole game. Its most valuable single card ranks 5th in the era, and it also ranks 5th for trading activity. It followed XY4: Phantom Gate, which holds similar total value, and came before CP1: Magma Gang vs Aqua Gang: Double Crisis, which holds less. English collectors will find 43 of its cards in Primal Clash, which came 8 weeks after the Japanese release.

A full run of Gaia Volcano means 80 printings, of which 61 are priced. Because the top five cards carry 69 percent of total card value, the cost of a complete set is driven mostly by a few Groudon and Camerupt cards, while the commons and uncommons that make up much of the list add little. Sealed product is limited to a single booster box for the set, so the card list and the chase cards are where most collecting decisions get made.
