Pokémon XY Ancient Origins — Sealed Booster Box (2015)

A factory-sealed booster box of Ancient Origins, the XY-series expansion released in 2015 and the most thematically distinctive set of the era. Its subject is Pokémon mythology — primal forces, legendary titans and the ancient world — and the design language of the set follows it throughout.

The box holds 36 packs of 10 cards, sealed in the original packaging. Ancient Origins is remembered for two things above all: the introduction of Ancient Trait cards, printed with a border treatment unique to this set and never repeated in the same form, and an EX line-up of unusual depth, with Hoopa EX in its Unbound Form, Mega Sceptile EX, Primal Groudon EX and Primal Kyogre EX alongside Tyranitar EX, Lugia EX and Giratina EX.

Sealed boxes from the XY period have become progressively harder to find intact, and Ancient Origins is among those with the strongest identity: a set whose mechanics, artwork and mythological framing make it recognisable at a glance. For a collection built around the XY era, it is both a sealed position and a coherent piece of the set's design history.
