About the Set
HS Unleashed centres on the Johto legendary beasts. Its three Pokémon LEGEND each pair two beasts — Entei & Raikou, Raikou & Suicune, and Suicune & Entei — filling cards 90 to 95 as six halves. Six Pokémon Prime sit at 84–89, and a secret-rare Alph Lithograph numbered TWO closes the set.
How LEGEND cards work: each LEGEND is a single card split across two halves, numbered separately. You need both halves in play together to use it, so each half appears as its own entry in the gallery below.
Prime, LEGEND & the Alph Lithograph
HS Unleashed had a single print run. Its chase cards are the three Pokémon LEGEND, the six Prime and the secret-rare Alph Lithograph.
| Type | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pokémon Prime (84–89) | Crobat, Kingdra, Lanturn, Steelix, Tyranitar and Ursaring — holo rares with their own foil treatment. |
| Pokémon LEGEND (90–95) | Three legendary-beast LEGEND cards, each split across two separately numbered halves. |
| Secret rare (TWO) | The Alph Lithograph, the second in the four-part HGSS series. |
Note: the gallery below covers all 96 cards. Each LEGEND appears as two entries, one per half.

Promo Cards

HGSS Black Star Promos use their own numbering (HGSS01 onward) and carry a black star where a set symbol would be.
Collecting & Where to Buy
HS Unleashed is out of print and trades on the secondary market. Common singles are inexpensive, while the three Pokémon LEGEND and the six Prime — Tyranitar especially — carry the strongest premiums.
Collector tip: LEGEND cards are sold as halves as often as pairs — confirm whether a listing is for the top half, the bottom half or the complete card before buying.
