Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Astral Radiance (Japanese: タイムゲイザーTime Gazer and スペースジャグラーSpace Juggler) is the name given to the tenth main expansion of cards from the Sword & Shield Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game (the Sword & Shield Era in Japan). The expansion continues support of the Pokémon VSTAR mechanic introduced in Brilliant Stars and features Pokémon from the Hisui region that were introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Information
Astral Radiance is the tenth main Sword & Shield Series expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and is set to release on May 27, 2022. In Japan, it is set to release as the dual Time Gazer and Space Juggler on April 8, 2022, which together form the tenth expansion of the Pokémon Card Game Sword & Shield Era. Astral Radiance is expected to consist of cards sourced from the Japanese Time Gazer and Space Juggler expansions, the Battle Region subset, and some remaining cards from the VMAX Climax subset.
Astral Radiance introduces Sparkling Pokémon, which function similarly to Shining Pokémon from the Neo Series and Pokémon ☆ from the EX Series. Sparkling Pokémon are all Basic Pokémon that portray the Shiny form of a species and have a Rule Box stipulating only one copy can be included in a deck. The expansion also features another Trainer Gallery subset, which comprises more Full Art reprints of a Pokémon alongside a Trainer. Each Astral Radiance booster pack contains ten cards from the expansion, a code card for use with the Pokémon Trading Card Game Live, and either a basic Energy card or a VSTAR marker card. Each Time Gazer and Space Juggler pack contains five cards from their respective expansion.
