XY is the name given to the first main expansion of the XY Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In Japan, it was released as the Collection X and Collection Y dual expansions that make up the first expansion block in the Pokémon Card Game XY Era. It is based on Pokémon X and Y, featuring Generation VI Pokémon and the two game Legendary PokémonXerneas and Yveltal. The English expansion was released on February 5, 2014, while the Japanese expansions were released on December 13, 2013.
XY introduced M Pokémon-EX, a variant of the Pokémon-EX. M Pokémon-EX are Mega Evolved Pokémon which were a new feature introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Unlike in the core series games, Pokémon-EX does not require a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve, however a player's turn ends when it becomes a Mega Evolution Pokémon. M Pokémon-EX have only one attack and its name was featured in the artwork (Japanese and Korean prints displayed English text, while international prints displayed Japanese text). It also introduced the Fairy type. This is the first pack to change the TCG's requiring age from 10+ to 6+.
In Collection X and Collection Y, Pokémon-EX were given a new rarity symbol, RR, which also applies to M Pokémon-EX.
The pack artworks for the XY expansion were illustrated by 5ban Graphics. The XY logo was designed by Eric Medalle.[1]
