Pokémon TCG Japan: VSTAR Universe Preview: Deoxys VSTAR SAR

|

After a few revealing leaks, Pokémon TCG Japan’s high-class set VSTAR Universe has finally been released. VSTAR Universe, which is available in Japan and locations that sell Japanese products, is the basis for the early 2023 English-language special set closing out the Sword & Shield era, Crown Zenith. Like previous special sets VMAX Climax and Shiny Star VVSTAR Universe is primarily a reprint set with a large Secret Rare section of chase cards. Among these chase cards are what we initially thought were Alternate Art VSTARs, but which we can now reveal as a new card rarity entirely. Pokémon TCG Japan has revealed new Art Rares and Special Art Rares which riff on Character Rares and Alternate (or Special) Arts. Art Rares are Full Art cards without texture that paint a beautiful unique scene using Pokémon. They are essentially Character Rares without Trainers present. Then, Special Art Rares take the same concept and add the V or VSTAR mechanic. This set also includes Special Art Trainer Supporters and, for the first time ever, Gold Alternate Art VSTARs. It is expected that this will be the final set with Pokémon-V and VSTARs, as 2023 will see the launch of the Scarlet & Violet era which returns to the Pokémon ex mechanic. Today, let’s take a look at another Special Art Rare from the set.

Deoxys fans are really eating in VSTAR Universe. Deoxys gets not only a Special Art Rare VMAX which we previously spotlighted and an Art Rare which we’ll spotlight tomorrow, but also this stunningly vibrant Special Art Rare VSTAR. This beautiful card shows Attack Forme Deoxys soaring through the cosmos, its body glowing with a brilliant aura illustrated by DOM. DOM has been contributing to the TCG since this year’s Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars, making them a relatively new addition. Dom’s most notable card so far is the electrifying Jolteon Character Rare from that very set.

Japanese sets often give us early ideas of what the English-language sets may include, so be sure to keep an eye on our coverage. You can stay tuned for previews of VSTAR Universe cards as well as updates on everything Pokémon TCG right here at Bleeding Cool.
