Pokémon VSTAR evolve from Pokémon V. Each Pokémon VSTAR has a VSTAR Power—an Ability or attack—with an extremely powerful effect that can decide the outcome of a battle. Players can use only one VSTAR Power per game, and those who use a VSTAR Power must flip over a VSTAR marker during the battle.
These Pokémon VSTAR have high HP and high-damage attacks, and they give up two Prize cards when Knocked Out.
Arceus, Charizard, Shaymin, and Whimsicott will appear as Pokémon VSTAR in the expansion. It will also include a special Trainer Gallery subset of 30 cards with artwork featuring fan-favorite Trainers and Pokémon.
Brilliant Stars will be made available in booster packs, the Elite Trainer Box, and special collections.
The Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Brilliant Stars expansion includes the following:
- 20 Pokémon V and 15 full-art Pokémon V
- Four new Pokémon VSTAR
- Three new Pokémon VMAX
- 22 Trainer cards and six full-art Supporter cards
- One new Special Energy card
