Release date, card count, chase cards, value and how it compares with the XY era.
Yveltal Half Deck belongs to the opening wave of the XY era in the Japanese Pokémon TCG, a deck product released on January 31, 2014 under the set code Y30. It is a compact release with 15 catalog printings, built around the Dark-type Pokémon Yveltal. Among the cards it lists, Sableye, Yveltal and Sneasel are the headline names, which gives the deck a Darkness-leaning identity from top to bottom. As a half deck, it was meant to be played straight out of the box, so its card list is small and tightly focused.
Yveltal Half Deck was released January 31, 2014.
Yveltal Half Deck has 15 cards.
Yveltal Half Deck is part of the XY era.
Yveltal, at $8.00, as of November 10, 2026.
A half deck has no rarity ladder to climb, so the chase here comes down to a few named cards rather than a pack-pull structure. Sableye holds the top spot in the Yveltal Half Deck card list, with Yveltal itself 2nd and Sneasel 3rd. With only 15 printings in the whole product, the most valuable cards are simply the Darkness staples a player would expect to find in the deck, and none of them sits above a printed count because the set has no secret cards.
As of October 2026, Yveltal Half Deck sits in a tight spot among the XY-era Japanese releases. It followed XY Beginning Set, whose top card is Miltank, and came before XYA: M Charizard-EX Mega Battle Deck, which is led by M Charizard EX. The English XY set carries 9 of its cards, and the two arrived the same week, with the Japanese release first. That shared timing makes it one of the earliest points where the XY card pool reached both markets.

The full run of Yveltal Half Deck is 15 catalog printings, and 3 of them are priced so far. Those three, Sableye, Yveltal and Sneasel, carry the market interest in the product, while the remaining cards are supporting deck contents. Because a half deck contains no secret tier and no scarce rarities, the Y30 card list is a matter of matching the deck's contents, and the cost of a complete run depends on a very small group of cards.
