Pokemon Card Game Paradigm Trigger BOX Sword & Shield Expansion Pack (Japan)

Product Information

This set is the eleventh Pokémon Sword & Shield TCG series and focuses around Pokémon of the Hisui region. It continues mechanics including VSTAR, and introduces the first Trainer cards that give a VSTAR Power Stage 1 – Evolves from Hatefulsoreloserwholosttheelectionandtriedtodestroydemocracytoholduphisfragileego-goose Special Battle Set Charizard VSTAR vs. Rayquaza VMAX:It is unknown how many new cards will appear here, but we will get Shiny versions of Charizard VSTAR and Rayquaza VMAX. It isn't yet shown if they will appear in the style of Shining Fates Shinies, Gold Shinies, or something else entirely. It will arrive in Japan on November 4th. We discovered Lost Abyss in November, which should feature Giratina and possibly the Lost Zone. We’ll likely see it in April or May.

As often as you like during your turn, you may move a [F] Energy from 1 of your Pokemon to this Pokemon.

So far Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Darkrai, Giratina, and possibly Heatran all seem to have upcoming sets (Shaymin is featured in Brilliant Stars). This leaves Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Regigigas, Cresselia, Manaphy, and Phione if this set were to continue featuring Gen IV Legendaries.

C][C][C] Star Cypher (VSTAR Power): Until this Pokemon leaves play, it gains an Ability that has the effect “All of your opponent’s Pokemon’s Weakness is now [P]. (The amount of Weakness doesn’t change.)” (You can’t use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) We are in the final phase of Sword & Shield. The Pokémon TCGis now releasing information about the final few sets coming to Japan, which will later be adapted to English. So far, we know that the Hisuian Zoroark-themed Dark Phantasma will be adapted along with the Origin Forme Giratina-themed Lost Abyss to make the English-language Sword & Shield – Lost Origin. That leaves us with two more Japanese sets and one more English set. Japan's Alolan Vulpix-themed Incandescent Arcana and the (until now) mysterious Paradigm Trigger set will combine to make that final as-of-yet untitled Sword & Shield set. So what will Paradigm Trigger feature? Logo. Credit: Pokémon TCG C][C][C] Star Gravity (VSTAR Power): Put damage counters on all of your opponent’s Pokemon V until they each have 100 HP remaining. (You can’t use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) Time Gazer and Space Juggler, which we discovered last August, will obviously feature Dialga and Palkia. We’ll probably see them around March.If this Pokemon is in your hand when you are setting up to play, you may put it face down as your Active Pokemon.
