Since: 12 October 2013
The XY series made its debut in October 2013 as the card game's translation of the Kalos region, firmly rooted in the world of Pokémon X and Y — with the legendary Xerneas and Yveltal serving as the faces of this era. The most defining aspect of the series was the introduction of Mega Evolution: Pokémon-EX could transform into M Pokémon-EX with impressive HP and attacks, albeit at the cost of your turn. Additionally, the XY era introduced the Fairy-type and later the BREAK mechanic, which allowed the series to build serious collectible depth over several years that continues to prove its value to this day.
