XY8-Bb: Blue Shock is a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion from the XY era, released on September 26, 2015 and sitting between CP2: Legendary Shine Collection and XY9: Rage of the Broken Heavens. The set code is XY8-Bb, and the card list runs to 65 printings. Blue Shock is built around its EX cards, with Mewtwo EX printed three times and Brigette, Glalie EX and Mega Glalie EX each appearing twice across rarities. Gengar and Mega Glalie EX head the most valuable cards.

XY8-Bb: Blue Shock has 65 cards.
XY8-Bb: Blue Shock is part of the XY era.
The Blue Shock chase cards sit in three tiers: 6 Double Rares, 5 Super Rares and a single Ultra Rare, for 12 chase-tier cards among the commons, uncommons and rares that fill out the card list. The most valuable cards start with Gengar at Rare, then Mega Glalie EX at Super Rare, Mega Mewtwo EX at Double Rare and a second Mega Glalie EX at Double Rare. Value is concentrated, as the top five cards hold 63 percent of the set's total card value, so the rest of the card list carries comparatively little.
As of October 2026, XY8-Bb: Blue Shock holds the 15th highest total card value of the 21 comparable XY sets, about 0.8 times the era median, and ranks 135th across the whole game. Its single most valuable card ranks 14th in the era, and it places 16th for trading activity. It followed CP2: Legendary Shine Collection and came before XY9: Rage of the Broken Heavens, and both hold more total value. The English set BREAKthrough carries 58 of these cards, and the Japanese release came first, 6 weeks earlier.

The full Blue Shock run is 65 printings, and 47 of them are priced. Because the top five cards hold 63 percent of total card value, the cost of finishing the set is driven by a handful of cards, chiefly Gengar and the Mega Glalie EX printings, while the commons, uncommons and rares fill in around them. Blue Shock is a small set, so completing the card list is a modest task once those key cards are in hand.
