What’s inside the Japanese Star Birth Booster Box

• 30 Star Birth booster packs
• 5 cards in each pack
• Cards featuring Arceus, Shaymin, Whimsicott, Lumineon and Raichu
• Packaging option: Shrink or No Shrink

The first Pokémon VSTAR set

VSTAR Pokémon carry a VSTAR Power, a move or Ability that can be used only once per game, and Star Birth was the first set to bring them in. It also includes the Special Energy Double Turbo Energy, with Sinnoh favourites throughout; Serebii’s Star Birth page has the full card list. Because it launched a new mechanic, the set appeals to collectors who like to own the first appearance of a card type.

Who the Japanese Star Birth Booster Box is for

In English, Star Birth’s cards form the core of Brilliant Stars, which also takes cards from the Start Deck 100 and the VMAX Climax subset. Japanese packs hold five cards, whereas Brilliant Stars packs hold ten, and the Japanese cards cannot be used in English tournaments, so this sealed box is best suited to Sword & Shield collectors or as a gift.

Some Japanese stores remove shrink wrap at purchase to prevent resale, which is why both versions are offered.

Order your Japanese Star Birth Booster Box from Vision TCG

Both versions contain factory sealed packs. Prices are in pounds and every box is dispatched from the UK, so import fees will not reach your door. Each order is packed with care and paid for through a secure checkout. Choose your packaging and add it to your basket, or browse more Japanese booster boxes and Japanese Pokémon cards.
