This set introduces Pokémon VSTAR. Like Pokémon VMAX, Pokémon VSTAR evolve from basic Pokémon V. However, unlike Pokémon VMAX, Pokémon VSTAR give up just two prize cards when knocked out. Additionally, these Pokémon have a VSTAR Power—a once per game attack or ability similar to GX Attacks from the Sun & Moon era.

 
 

Trainer Gallery Subset

The set description for Brilliant Stars mentions that it contains “a special Trainer Gallery subset of 30 cards with artwork featuring fan-favorite Trainers and Pokémon.” With this and the very high count of Full Art rarity and higher cards from the Japanese set VMAX Climax in mind, not all of the special cards from VMAX Climax will appear in Brilliant Stars. The cards that did not make it into Brilliant Stars’ Trainer Gallery will likely appear in future sets as part of their Trainer Gallery. To see cards that may be included in future Trainer Galleries, see the Trainer Galleries article.
