Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield

Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Brilliant Stars

You won't need to wish on a star with the latest Pokémon TCG expansion introducing a shining new gameplay mechanic, brilliantly beautiful cards, and Pokémon with star power.

The shining stars of this Pokémon TCG expansion are undeniably the Pokémon VSTAR. Each one has a VSTAR Power, a special attack or Ability that can drastically alter the course of a battle. But choose your moment wisely, because each player can only use one VSTAR Power during the entire game!

Trainer Gallery Cards

Celebrate the incredible connection between Trainers and their Pokémon with the Trainer Gallery subset. Among the star Trainers are two of the Pokémon world's favourite rivals—Blue and his electrifying Jolteon, and N and Zekrom. Karen of the Elite Four also puts in an appearance with the mysterious Moonlight Pokémon, Umbreon VMAX.

Deck Hints and Tips

Try Triskaidekaphobia

With this spooky combo, you can play Acerola’s Premonition and then use Mimikyu VMAX’s Ominous Numbers attack to put 13 damage counters on your opponent’s Pokémon however you like for just 2 Energy. What’s more, you can use the new Double Turbo Energy card to instantly power up the attack, and because you’re placing damage counters directly, you can ignore the downside of Double Turbo Energy causing you to do 20 less damage!

Sweet Rainbow Swirl

This delicious combo speaks for itself—it’s up to you to pick the spectrum of Pokémon you want to use! Alcremie will lead the way, doing up to a mouthwatering 330 damage with Rainbow Flavor while you power up any type of Pokémon you like with Café Master. Sweet victory is yours to taste with Alcremie!

Pachirisu’s Power Tools

Pachirisu is the leader in this partnership, using support from Honchkrow V’s Boss Pockets Ability to unleash a full toolbelt and then some in a devastating blow to your opponent’s Pokémon! Each Honchkrow V you have in play can hold up to 4 Pokémon Tools, so be sure to jam your deck full of nifty gadgets! Then, suit up Pachirisu with the powerful Choice Belt to take down your opponent’s formidable, high-HP Pokémon V with Windup Thunder.
