Brilliant Stars is the ninth main Sword & Shield Series expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and is set to release on February 25, 2022.

​

The latest release for the trading card game, Sword & Shield - Brilliant Stars introduces a new mechanic with Pokémon VStar cards. These new Pokémon cards are an upgrade to the existing Pokémon V cards, which provide more powerful versions of standard - fully evolved - Pokémon. The Pokémon V cards, such as the Charizard or Pikachu V cards, have abilities and attacks that are stronger than the Pokémon’s original versions, but they grant opponents more prize cards if they are defeated.
