Your Pokémon Trading Card Game collection is about to get a powerful boost with the Pokemon TCG: Sword and Shield Expansion Pack Star Birth Booster Box from Japan!

In Japan, it was released as Star Birth on January 14, 2022 and is the ninth expansion of the Pokémon Card Game Sword & Shield Era. Brilliant Stars consists of cards sourced from the Japanese Star Birth expansion, the Start Deck 100, and the VMAX Climax subset. Each Star Birth pack contains five cards.

The expansion centers on the Alpha Pokémon Arceus, which supports the Pokémon V and new Pokémon VSTAR mechanic. Like their predecessors, evolve from a requisite Pokémon V.

Each one also has an attack or Ability called a VSTAR Power that, much like GX attacks in the Sun & Moon Series, can only be used once in a game. Other Pokémon supporting the VSTAR mechanic in the expansion include Charizard, Shaymin, and Whimsicott.

Gotta catch them all! The Pokemon TCG: Sword & Shield - Star Birth expansion has more than 100 new cards to collect!
