Collection: Brilliant Stars

About this collection

About Brilliant Stars

Brilliant Stars launched in February 2022 as the ninth main set of the Sword and Shield era, and it remains a favourite for collectors who recognise its place in Pokemon TCG history. The set introduced the VSTAR mechanic, giving each deck a single powerful VSTAR Power per game, and reshaped competitive play almost overnight. With 172 cards in the base numbering plus the debut of the Trainer Gallery subset, Brilliant Stars offers one of the deepest pull pools of the era.

Rarity tiers and chase cards

Shoppers browsing this collection will find the full spread of rarities. Holo and Reverse Holo commons and uncommons sit alongside V cards such as Entei V 022/172 and Lumineon V 040/172, while VMAX and VSTAR cards like Whimsicott VSTAR 065/172 anchor the higher tiers. Full Art trainers, Rainbow Rares, Gold Secret Rares and the Trainer Gallery alternate art subset round out the chase list. Arceus VSTAR 123/172 is the headline card for many collectors, and the Trainer Gallery prints featuring favourite characters in stylised art have become some of the most sought after pulls from the entire Sword and Shield run.

Condition and shipping

Every single from this collection is graded mint or better before it goes on the site, sleeved straight after pulling, and stored flat in our Brisbane shop. Orders ship Australia-wide with tracked postage, and we top-load and team-bag higher value cards as standard.
