So I know the main sets in Russian are these:
XY Base Set
Flash Fire
Furious Fists
Phantom Forces
Primal Clash
Roaring Skies
Ancient Origins
BREAKthrough
McDonalds 2016 Promo Set
Whenever this subject gets brought up people always just say “There are Russian Promos” without ever saying which ones. So I’ve complied this list of what I have been able to find. Their is physical proof for each and every card in this list
XY Starter Set:
All 39 Cards - XY Starter Set
9 Cards (Starters and Evolutions) - XY Starter Set Exclusives (Sheen Holo Pattern)
3 XY Starter Set Errors (Poké Ball, Potion and Tierno have a varient without their set number)
XY Black Star Promos:
XY01 Chespin
XY02 Fennekin
XY03 Froakie
XY07 Xerneas EX
XY08 Yveltal EX
XY18 Chesnaught EX
XY19 Delphox EX
XY20 Greninja EX
XY28 Venusaur EX
XY29 Charizard EX (Error in Russian, all copies say XY28)
XY30 Blastoise EX
XY41 Kyogre EX
XY42 Groudon EX
XY53 Sceptile EX
XY54 Blaziken EX
XY55 Swampert EX
XY71 Hoopa EX
XY72 Latios EX
XY73 Rayquaza EX
XY149 Xerneas EX
XY150 Yveltal EX
XY151 Zygarde EX
XY173 Volcanion EX
XY174 Pikachu EX
XY175 Magearna EX
Ancient Origins (4)
12/98 Virizion - XY Ancient Origins Theme Deck Exclusive Non-Holo
21/98 Gyarados - XY Ancient Origins Theme Deck Exclusive Non-Holo
40/98 Regirock - XY Ancient Origins Theme Deck Exclusive Cracked Ice Holo
49/98 Metagross - XY Ancient Origins Theme Deck Exclusive Cracked Ice Holo
Now for the questions. Any promos I missed or variants of the normal cards like theme deck exclusives? My other question is, does anyone actually have proof of BreakPoint being a thing? They are the only set I could not find any cards or proof for. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Also Gonna tag @quuador since he is all knowing
I’m not that knowledgeable about Russian cards. You already gave a lot more info than I knew myself, so thanks for sharing!
Based on my Pikachu collection, I knew it started with XY, and XY BREAKthrough is the last set containing a Pikachu, because XY Generations wasn’t printed anymore. It’s very likely I falsely assumed XY BREAKpoint was printed, and they stopped at XY Generations, but if you aren’t able to find any XY BREAKpoint proof, then it might very well be XY BREAKthrough being the last set printed, and they stopped at XY BREAKpoint.
About the promos, I only knew about the Pikachu 42/146 and Froakie XY03. Also very cool that you’ve been able to find errors, like the three Trainers lacking set numbers, of the XY29 Charizard being printed as XY28.
So thanks a lot for sharing, but you already know much more about them then I do myself.
Hi! So my question is, besides the white Vivillion variant, what cards if any have images unique to the Russian language cards? Thank you for putting this together!
@queendrifloon
I think it’s just the varient you mentioned. Besides that I can’t thinknof any other card, however I will let you know if I find new information!
I honestly don’t know. You could use the search to look for some of the earliest Russian related posts perhaps.
