Astral Radiance

Released: 27 May 2022

Astral Radiance (Sword & Shield, May 2022) takes you to the ancient Hisui region from *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*, populated by Hisuian forms of familiar Pokémon and the mythical Origin Formes of Dialga and Palkia as VSTAR cards. The most sought-after chase cards are the alternate full-art versions of Origin Forme Dialga and Origin Forme Palkia, while the Trainer Gallery subset — featuring a striking Starmie V with Misty among others — showcases why this set is considered one of the strongest periods in modern TCG history. Additionally, the set introduces the Radiant Pokémon mechanic: shimmering shiny cards with a distinctive holo pattern that offer collectors a subtle yet lasting distinction.
