Have you been collecting the Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising cards? If you’ve been checking off your cards via the official checklist, you’ve probably noticed that there are 145 cards in the collection. Well, it turns out that number isn’t entirely accurate—there are actually 24 secret cards in the expansion that are numbered beyond those initial 145, for a grand total of 169!
These cards are exceptionally rare, and most are different versions of more common cards, so you might miss them if you’re not paying close attention. In the Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising expansion, look for full-art Pokémon-GX in the amazing rare Rainbow style, where the Pokémon are outlined against a cool reflective rainbow background. And other secret cards might look like other cards you’re familiar with—including basic Energy cards—with a telltale gold border to let you know they’re cards to look out for.
These cards are obviously huge for collectors, with alternate designs and a special numbering system to make them worth seeking out. But they’re also great for players, as these cards are often selected because of their usefulness in battle! Let’s take a look at some of the awesome secret cards in the Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising expansion.
Powerful Pokémon-GX Get the Rainbow Treatment
A while ago, we highlighted some of the best Pokémon-GX cards that are available in Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon. Now, some of those cards are getting cool updates. The final Evolutions of Alola’s first partner Pokémon, Decidueye-GX, Incineroar-GX, and Primarina-GX, are among the secret cards in the Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising expansion.

Whether you’re competing or collecting, here’s your chance to snag the secret, rainbow versions of some of the hottest cards out there.
These Pokémon-GX cards are not only rare and powerful, but they’re sure to stand out in your collection thanks to their beautiful, multicolored sheen.
Golden Items Enhance Your Deck
Any good deck needs a nice variety of Trainer cards to provide support for your Pokémon, and if you’re giving support, why not give it in style? The secret cards in Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising include a selection of classics (such as Rare Candy and Double Colorless Energy) as well as a few new cards (like Aqua Patch and Field Blower). These cards feature a gold border and a glamourous shiny surface. These cards have become a major factor in a variety of competitive decks as well, making them valuable in play in addition to being simply good looking.
Energize Your Deck in Style
The Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon expansion included basic Psychic and Metal Energy cards with the shiny gold border of a secret rare. The trend continues in the Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising expansion with the secret release of brilliant Grass, Lightning, and Fighting Energy cards. Does this mean that future expansions will contain more secret Energy cards? We can’t say for sure, but this is a prime opportunity to add some more of these golden Energy cards to your deck. These particular cards will probably be in high demand due to the fact that they are guaranteed to always be legal in tournament play.
