My first guess were pollens or spores, but they are flowers. Unless the artist did a cross-sectional, those are flowers.
One thing I didn't like is that Basculin has "hisuian" in it's name, but it's just white-striped form :T
Random translation thing, but Hisuian Typhlosion's VSTAR Power should probably be "Heat Haze Star", "Ephemeral Star", or something along those lines; the Japanese name is "Kagerou Sutaa", not "Kage Rousutaa", so basically anything but "Shadow Roaster" 
I thought the same thing too, but apparently it is officially a Hisuian form but is also referred to as "White-Striped" in order to tie it back to Basculin's original classification
Some of the arts are gorgeus, I hope CHR and CSR to be nice as well. Look how amazing Misdreavus artwork is this, by Akira Egawa. Probably one of the best arts for this Pokémon.
A lot of great art! Jynx, Ralts, Misdreavus.
Except for that Heatran, looks so dumb.

Will VSTAR Pokémon have alt/secret artworks ? Personally, I hope so
Does Hisuian Typhlosion VSTAR require the number of damage counter to be EXACTLY four? Or was that a mistranslation? This is very important, because if four is just a minimum, it could be a strong partner for Shadow Rider Calyrex V MAX as it is far more cost-effficient than Whimsicott Star and meshes well with Calyrex V's attack.
EDIT: the other sources I checked, Serebii and JustInBasil, say exactly 4.I
P.S. That Sparkling Heatran looks better than I would expect it to. In the games Shiny Heatran is almost unrecognizable from normal Heatran, but here, you can not only tell that it's shiny (the orange-red pops more), but it also looks as nice as Hawlucha. Also, nice to see a mixture of abstract and landscape backgrounds. Giving Sparkling Greninja a more sophisticated illustration was a smart move since we already have two shiny Greninja, both of which have abstract backgrounds. The crosshatching also looks nice. Am I the only one getting Minecraft vibes while looking at it?

Not reliable most of the time. Also, that card will rotate soon. So, nobody cares.
