The Coolest Pokémon Sun And Moon – Burning Shadows Cards We Pulled From Booster Packs
The third Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion from the Sun and Moon games hits today and introduces a bevy new cards featuring classic monsters and new beasts spanning all seven generations. In addition to including more of the Guardian creatures from Sun and Moon, Burning Shadows also gives us new cards of fan favorites like Charizard and Ho-oh.
We were sent nearly 20 booster packs, as well as both decks from the expansion and the two trainer tins featuring Guardians Tapu Bulu and Tapu Koko. We pulled the ones that were either the coolest or most powerful from the packs we opened and featured them in the gallery you see below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
