A 30-card subset, numbered TG01 to TG30, of mostly full art cards that show a Pokemon with its trainer.

What are the pull rates for Brilliant Stars?
No one has published a large pack-opening study for Brilliant Stars. One community count of 1,004 packs found a Trainer Gallery card in about 1 in 8 packs, roughly four or five per 36-pack booster box, but it mixes the site's own pulls with outside data, so treat it as a rough guide. In that count the Charizard alt art turned up once and the rainbow Charizard VSTAR not at all, so nobody has a reliable figure for one card. A sealed box was $537.43 on Oct 29, 2026; see the Brilliant Stars sealed product page for today's prices.
When did Brilliant Stars come out?
February 25, 2022, as the ninth main expansion of the Sword & Shield series. It came after Fusion Strike and before Astral Radiance. It is built mostly from the Japanese set Star Birth, plus cards from Start Deck 100 and the character rares of VMAX Climax, which became its Trainer Gallery.
