Candela SWSH228

This is Candela SWSH228, a Trainer card from the Sword and Shield Black Star Promo line. Candela is the leader of Team Valor in Pokemon GO, a character collectors recognise from the mobile game's three rival teams. As a Trainer card, Candela is played from the hand to provide a supporting effect, and character cards like this one hold appeal for fans who enjoy the personalities tied to each game.

Promo cards sit outside the numbered main sets and are distributed through special channels such as collection boxes, tins and other promotional products. The SWSH prefix marks this as part of the Sword and Shield era promo run, and the black star symbol identifies it as a promotional release. Collectors look for promos like this Candela to complete themed displays, particularly those built around the Pokemon GO crossover and its team leaders, and to add cards that were never part of a standard booster set.
