What is in Genetic Apex?
If you are researching Genetic Apex, start with the checklist, then use the pack and tournament signals to decide which Genetic Apex cards belong in your collection.
Genetic Apex (A1) was released on October 30, 2024. Its published checklist has 286 cards: 226 in the numbered set and 60 additional rarity or art variants.
The expansion is split across 3 packs—Mewtwo Pack, Pikachu Pack, and Charizard Pack. Their card pools are not identical, so the individual pack pages show which cards are exclusive and which are shared before you spend pack resources.
The searchable grid on this page maps all 286 cards in the published checklist.
