The XY series starts in October 2013 with XY Black Star Promos and the Kalos Starter Set, then the main expansion XY in February 2014, and runs to Evolutions in November 2016. Along the way it includes the 34-card Double Crisis, BREAKthrough and BREAKpoint, and Generations, which prints a set size of 83 but lists 117 cards. BREAKthrough has the largest printed size at 165. Several sets also list cards past the printed number, so use the checklist rather than the card number alone.
