Burning Shadows sits in the middle of the Sun & Moon era, an expansion in the Sun & Moon series that arrived on August 4, 2017 under the set code BUS. It carries 147 official cards plus 22 secret rares, which brings the catalog to 169 printings. The set is built around GX Pokémon, and Alolan Muk GX, Darkrai GX, Gardevoir GX, Golisopod GX and Machamp GX each appear in three versions. It leans on Fighting, Grass, Psychic and Water types, and the Charizard GX secret rare headlines the card list.
The Burning Shadows pull ladder runs from commons, uncommons and rares up to 30 ultra rares and 22 secret rares, 52 chase-tier cards in all, with the secrets numbered past the printed 147. The most valuable cards start with the Charizard GX secret rare, followed by the Fairy Energy secret rare, the Wicke ultra rare and the Darkness Energy secret rare. Darkrai GX is the fifth most valuable card. Charizard GX is illustrated by 5ban Graphics, who has the most cards in the set. The top five cards hold 60 percent of the set's total card value, so a complete set is mostly the price of a few cards.
