XY8-Br: Red Flash is a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion from the XY era, released on September 26, 2015 under the set code XY8-Br. Its card list holds 65 printings, small by modern standards. The set is built around Mewtwo EX, which appears in three versions, with Giovanni's Scheme and Houndoom EX each printed twice. Mewtwo EX also holds the top spot among the most valuable cards, so the set reads as a Mewtwo release with Houndoom as the supporting Mega line.

A complete run of Red Flash means 65 printings, of which 53 are priced. With 66 percent of the set's value sitting in five cards, the Mewtwo EX and Mega Houndoom EX versions account for most of what a finished collection represents, while the commons, uncommons and rares that fill the bulk of the list carry comparatively little of it. Because the set is compact and the English BREAKthrough shares 59 of its cards, the two card lists can be compared side by side when deciding which edition to follow.
