Pokémon TCG To Release Origin Palkia & Dialga VSTAR Collections
Were you wondering where the Full Art versions of Dialga and Palkia were in Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Astral Radiance? These cards were not included in the set because they will be SWSH Black Star Promos along with alternate versions of Dialga VSTAR and Palkia VSTAR. The Pokémon TCG will release Origin Forme Dialga Premium Collection and Origin Forme Palkia Premium Collection on October 7th. These $39.99 boxes will feature a Full Art V and VSTAR Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia respectively. Each of these are brand new SWSH Black Star Promos exclusive to these boxes.
In addition to this news, here is the upcoming slate of Pokémon TCG releases for the second half of 2022:
