Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the Sun & Moon era.
Guardians Rising arrived on May 5, 2017 as an expansion in the Sun & Moon era and series of the English-language Pokémon TCG, carrying the set code GRI. It lists 145 official cards, with 24 secret rares numbered above that count. The set is built around GX Pokémon, and its repeated names show it: Oricorio appears in four printings, while Alolan Ninetales GX, Drampa GX, Kommo-o GX and Lycanroc GX each appear three times. Water, Fighting, Psychic and Colorless are the types it leans on most, which gives the card list some variety rather than a single dominant type.
The pull ladder in Guardians Rising runs from commons, uncommons and rares up to 26 ultra rares and 24 secret rares, 50 chase-tier cards in all, with the secret rares sitting past the printed 145. The most valuable cards are Sylveon GX as a secret rare, Alolan Ninetales GX as a secret rare, the ultra rare Sylveon GX, and the secret rare Primarina GX, all illustrated by 5ban Graphics, who has 47 cards in the set. Value is moderately concentrated: the top five cards hold 40 percent of the set's total card value, so the chase cards matter but the rest of the list still carries real weight.
Guardians Rising was released May 5, 2017.

Its cards first appeared in the Japanese sets SM2K: Islands Await You and SM2L: Alolan Moonlight.
