The curvy strips between the Pokémon's name and the HP were removed. The Stage and Evolution area received new graphics.

Sun & Moon also introduced an updated card design, which included numerous changes. Rainbow Rare prints have the exact same artwork as Full Art prints but were fully silver (including the Pokémon) and have a rainbow reflector finish. Full Art prints have a shard-like diamond background.

The whole card was Holofoil and had a glossy finish. Regular prints featured the artwork covering most of the card with the Pokémon out of the card border. The Pokémon-GX rule box took the place of the Pokédex entry. The GX attack's energy cost, name and damage were written in a blue and black bar with silver border.
