FAQ
What is a Tag Team GX card?
Tag Team GX cards feature two or three Pokemon combined into a single powerful card with elevated HP and a GX attack. Introduced in the Sun & Moon era, Tag Teams like Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX became some of the most valuable and competitive cards in the format. SM12A Tag All-Stars reprinted the best Tag Team cards with alternate art treatments.
Is Tag All-Stars the same as Cosmic Eclipse?
No. SM12A Tag All-Stars is a Japan-exclusive High Class Pack that reprints popular Tag Team GX cards from across the SM era with new artwork. While some cards overlap with the English Cosmic Eclipse set, Tag All-Stars is a curated "best-of" reprint set with 10 cards per pack and higher pull rates for premium cards.
