Pokémon TCG Releases Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest Today

A new Pokémon TCG set arrives on shelves today. Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest, previously only available at tournament-official hobby shops, will be available at all participating retailers, big box stores, and hobby shops. The set features Alolan Vulpix and Lugia as VSTARs and is set to close out the Sword & Shield era as the last main series set. Packs of this new Pokémon TCG set can be found in Elite Trainer Boxes including eight packs, Booster Bundles including six-packs, Booster Boxes including 36 packs, Build & Battle Boxes with four packs and a promo, three-pack blisters with a promo, and one-pack blisters with a promo. The main chase card of Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest is agreed to be Lugia V Alternate Art, but the expansion comes with many cards worth going after. These include Alolan Vulpix and its Rainbow Rare equivalent, Lugia VSTAR in all of its forms, including standard and Rainbow and Gold, and of course, the Trainer Gallery hits.
