Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield - Brilliant Stars Build & Battle Stadium (2 Decks, 12 Boosters & more)

Product Information

Unlike the last three sets ( Brilliant Stars, Astral Radiance and Lost Origin) there is nothing new to report mechanic wise – like I said, the Lost Zone seems to have done one in this set, which doesn’t mean that you won’t be facing up against endless Comfey/Cramorant/Giratina VSTAR decks, because you will be so… best just sigh audibly and carry on. Starting with Togedemaru, who can be KOd for no prizes on a coin flip, onto Dedenne, who does 60 damage and paralysis and ending with either Morpeko, who can do 60 damage to all your opponents Pokemon, or Pikachu, who can do 200 damage – all for one lightning energy each. While Aerodactyl VSTAR harnesses this distorted power, Magnezone, Drapion, Hisuian Goodra, and Hisuian Zoroark also appear as Pokémon VSTAR to show off their own astonishing skills, joined by Kyurem VMAX.

Either way, this is the sort of card that will really annoy those players who have invested hundreds of pounds in Giratina VSTARs. The first thing you have to know about Wailord is that he is big – 200HP on a Stage One Uncommon is HOOOGE.

That’s not to say that this set isn’t crammed with potential, because it is, it’s just that there’s no specific counter for what is now the new Mew VMAX/Genesect V/Meloetta deck.

The two effects that the card can ‘either/or’ have are discard up to three (but at least one) cards and draw up to five or switch one of your opponent’s benched Pokemon V with their active Pokemon. In my pre-release deck I sadly got the Sunflora, but I did manage to pull the Mawile V trainer gallery card (a very nice-looking card and did well for me in my games) and a holo Crobat (which I couldn’t play but does have a very cheeky attack – 30 damage, but if you KO one of your opponents pokemon with this, take two extra prize cards. Decks included one of four specially stamped Prerelease cards for the expansion: Moltres, Lucario, Liepard, and Bibarel.

And this card is the new Kirlia (though the Gardevoir has the same ability, but there are better Gardevoirs/Galades out there).Each box also included six random Supporter cards from the following, with no more than two copies of a particular card. The final new staple card from Silver Tempest is Serena, whose Japanese full art is pulling down big dollar dollar bill, y’all. The other VSTAR of note (there are also VSTARs for Unown, Mawile and Serperior, which have their moments, and Regieleki has a VMAX – you can check them out for yourselves) is Regidrago VSTAR. As you continue your adventure of becoming a Pokémon Trainer, the first command you were ever given remains the same: “You gotta catch ‘em all”. Each box contains two pre-release kits, as detailed above, but also comes with four extra boosters and a set of damage dice, a coin dice and plastic effect and VSTAR tokens.

Yes, he may have been missing from Lost Origin (but there is hope for the Wailord from that set being in Crown Zenith… just saying) but here he is, front and centre in Silver temp… what, he’s an Uncommon? For a fire, a grass and a colourless, the attack copies the attack of any Dragon-type card in your discard pile.There are then a series of games where players can either play their 40 card decks unadulterated or, depending on what they pull from their four boosters, upgraded with some of the cards they drew. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646). Each box included two of the following four different groups of Pokémon cards, with one group always coinciding with the Prerelease promo. Silver Tempest is the twelfth and also the final big set from Sword and Shield and combines the Japanese sets Incandescent Arcana, Paradigm Trigger, a smattering of Lost Abyss and Dark Phantasm and a further dollop of Trainer Gallery cards from VMAX Climax (I will never not find this subset title amusing) – the big chase cards from this subset this time around are the gold Rayquaza VMAX and Duraladon VMAX cards. There were only 5 good pulls for me, and the the box is damaged a bit around the corners, despite it being delivered in bubble wrap.

So Lugia VSTAR can set up the Archeops to charge up the Lugia’s attack – 220 damage, plus discard the stadium if you want.

Silver Tempest is a bit of a mop up set and does weigh in at a heft 195 cards plus 30 Trainer Gallery cards and 23 super-duper rares – this is still one less than Lost Origin and nearly two thirds smaller than Fusion Strike, so I can’t really complain. The ability also allows you to dump your top seven cards into the discard pile and retrieve any two cards from the discard pile.
