‘Brilliant Stars’ Officially Revealed, Will Contain Character Rares from ‘VMAX Climax!’

[Water Pokémon Master]

We revealed the first information about Brilliant Stars over the past few weeks, and now Pokemon has officially revealed the set!

The set will feature Arceus VSTAR, Charizard VSTAR, Shaymin VSTAR and Whimsicott VSTAR. As we found out last night, Pokemon VSTAR can have an attack or an Ability as their VSTAR Power. Only one VSTAR Power can be used per game since they’re extremely powerful.
The press release mentions Brilliant Stars will have “a special Trainer Gallery subset of 30 cards with artwork featuring fan-favorite Trainers and Pokemon.” This is almost certainly referring to the Character...

The set will feature Arceus VSTAR, Charizard VSTAR, Shaymin VSTAR and Whimsicott VSTAR.

we do not deserve this level of power but they will give it to us anyway

Will alternative artwork cards still be around? Cause if yes I’m assuming this means we can anticipate at least Arceus V and Charizard V to receive the alt Art treatment. Would be nice if Whimsicott and Shaymin did as well.

 

[Yaginku]

Actually looks extremely nice. New energies, too.

 

[JaxuTCG]

New basic energy look quite nice actually!

 

[breadvox]

the art on the Vstar cards reminds me a lot of lv.X! looking forward to this set, hopefully the pull rates wont be too bad...

 

[Dragon]

Ok, so they have pretty much forgotten that Garchomp is a thing.

 

[ApricornNut]

HELLO, CHARIZARD. We meet again. It's a good thing you're only being used to show off a new mechanic this time, otherwise I'd be even more off-put by your commanding presence.

Let's just hope TPCI doesn't try to pull anything fancy with you this time!

Ok, so they have pretty much forgotten that Garchomp is a thing.

Calling it now, Garchomp will be one of the stars of a set in the next year.

 

[Snowy Lilacs]

Ohhh I hope Shaymin will get a VStar card, the colors will go so well with the white

 

[dineinunes]

"3 new Vmax"
So Kingler from the 100 decks, and perhaps we may be getting the Hatterene and Machamp (or Melmetal) gigantamaxes forms as well?

Also this new special energy and Acerola-like trainer: time to buy Togekiss and Tornadus!

Well, we already know that at least Arceus V has an alternate art.

doesn't matter, it'll still be $100+ upon release.

Shaymin VSTAR and Whimsicott VSTAR are confirmed for Brilliant Stars.

 

[ApricornNut]

Yeah, that's what scares me XD

 

[beatbox2000]

There's way more than 30 CHR cards in VMAX Climax though.

Unless CSR don't count. Blaziken CSR to Blissey CSR is already 39 cards.

 

[shaman]

Can we have another triple energy of some kind to make the Stage 2 Orbeetle engine good again? Pretty please?

 

[Dragon]

Calling it now, Garchomp will be one of the stars of a set in the next year.

Thx for understanding my feelings. Will be looking forward for it.

 

[Mimikeon]

Now that the theory that VSTAR will only be Sinnoh/ Hisui Pokemon is dead and buried, I pray for an Espeon or Mimikyu VSTAR that's actually good.

 

[Ilexon]

Does anyone know if the 20 Pokemon V include the character arts? it seems like a lot of Vs otherwise for the set size
