Star Birth [s9]

The birth of a new era — Sword & Shield Expansion Pack "Star Birth" is now available by the full BOX! Released on January 14, 2022, Star Birth is the set that introduced the brand-new VSTAR mechanic to the Pokémon TCG for the first time — a landmark release that changed the game forever.

The set contains 128 cards in total, with high-rarity highlights including 3 URs, 8 HRs, and 16 SRs. The top chase cards are Charizard V SA and Arceus V SA — two of the most iconic Special Art cards of the entire Sword & Shield era. Charizard V SA in particular commands extraordinary collector demand — with Charizard's enduring status as the most popular Pokémon of all time, this card is considered one of the most coveted pulls in the entire SS-era TCG.

Other top pulls include Charizard VSTAR HR — featuring a breathtaking rainbow holographic finish — alongside Cynthia's Ambition SR and Hyper Ball UR, one of the most useful Item cards ever printed in the TCG.
