Sword & Shield Brilliant Stars (SWSH09) was released in February 2022. Its 216 cards break down into 172 main-set cards, 14 secret rares and 30 Trainer Gallery cards. As the first set with Pokémon VSTAR, it also introduced VSTAR Powers, powerful effects that can be used only once per game.

VSTAR Pokémon in Brilliant Stars

Arceus VSTAR leads the set, supported by Charizard VSTAR, Shaymin VSTAR and Whimsicott VSTAR. Because each VSTAR Power can be used only once per game, these cards reward careful timing, and the mechanic went on to appear in later sets such as Astral Radiance and Lost Origin.

Brilliant Stars also includes Gigantamax Mimikyu VMAX, Gigantamax Aggron VMAX and Gigantamax Kingler VMAX, so VMAX fans have plenty to look for in Brilliant Stars booster packs too.

The Charizard V Alternate Art

The main chase card is Charizard V Alternate Art 154/172. Charizard is one of the most collected Pokémon of all, so this card is the reason many fans open a Pokémon Brilliant Stars booster box in the first place. Keep a top loader ready, just in case.

Charizard VSTAR is in the set as well, so one box can deliver more than one version of the Flame Pokémon. Beyond Charizard, the 30-card Trainer Gallery adds another subset to chase alongside the 14 secret rares, which keeps every pack interesting right to the end of the box.

Planning your Brilliant Stars opening

Before you start, decide whether you are opening to play, to collect or both. Players can set aside VSTAR Pokémon and Trainer cards for deckbuilding as they appear, while collectors may prefer to sort by card number so the Trainer Gallery and secret rares are easy to track. Either way, a few spare top loaders for the Charizard cards are a smart idea.

A great gift for Pokémon fans

A full booster box makes a memorable present for a birthday or Christmas, especially for a fan who loves Charizard or Arceus. The 36 packs can be opened all at once or handed out over a few weeks, which stretches the fun much further than a single pack ever could.

Brilliant Stars or Astral Radiance?

Brilliant Stars introduced VSTAR, and the following set, Astral Radiance, added Radiant Pokémon to the mix. Choose Brilliant Stars if you want the set where VSTAR began, or Astral Radiance if Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia are more your style. Plenty of collectors who buy Brilliant Stars Booster Box AU stock pick up both.
