M Gardevoir EX and Kyogre EX headline XY5-Bt: Tidal Storm, a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion from the XY era, released on December 13, 2014. The set code is XY5-Bt, and the card list runs to 80 catalog printings. Several names appear twice in the set, among them Archie's Ace in the Hole, Azumarill, Bidoof, Dive Ball and Eelektrik, which points to a set built around the water-themed Hoenn cards that Kyogre EX anchors. Its Mega Gardevoir lead card also ties it to the Mega Evolution mechanic that defined the era.
The pull ladder in Tidal Storm climbs from 32 commons and 23 uncommons through 9 rares to 16 chase-tier cards: 8 Super Rares, 6 Double Rares and 2 Ultra Rares. The two most valuable cards in the set are Double Rares, with M Gardevoir EX first and Kyogre EX second. Kingdra, a Rare, takes third, and the uncommon Ludicolo and common Bidoof follow, a sign that value reaches below the top rarities. The top five cards hold 41 percent of the set's total card value, a moderate concentration for a set of this size.
As of October 2026, Tidal Storm ranks 19th by total card value among the 21 comparable XY sets, with a master set worth about 0.6 times the era median, and 162nd across the whole game. Its most valuable card also ranks 19th in the era, though trading activity is stronger, at 11th. The previous set, XY4: Phantom Gate, and the next, CP1: Magma Gang vs Aqua Gang: Double Crisis, each hold more total value. The English Primal Clash carries 44 of its cards and came 8 weeks after the Japanese release on February 4, 2015.

A complete run of Tidal Storm is 80 printings, of which 54 are currently priced. With the top five cards holding 41 percent of total value, the cost of a full set rests mainly on a few Double Rares and the Kingdra rare, while the commons and uncommons add little by comparison. Sealed product is limited to a single booster box for the set, so this card list is reached mostly through singles.
