Pokemon Card Game Paradigm Trigger BOX Sword & Shield Expansion Pack (Japan)

Product Information

Zeraora - first thing I see this, this Zeraora could be a tech against Palkia. You'll run Eleki anyway. 4 Paradigm Trigger will continue to utilize Pokémon TCG’s newest VSTAR mechanic, as it has been confirmed the set will include Regidrago VSTAR and Regieleki VMAX. Paradigm Trigger will also feature Pokémon that haven’t been printed in a while, proving that the Pokémon TCG is expanding its reach to include even more Pokémon, and not just reprint after reprint. Art released in promotion of Paradigm Trigger has revealed multiple evolution lines - Omastar, Armaldo, Stunfisk, and Stonjourner - that will be included in the set, though their official cards have not been revealed yet. Including these ancient Pokémon is another hint that the set has been inspired by Fossil and Neo Discovery. That being said, the following is every card revealed so far:

Stage 1 – Evolves from Hatefulsoreloserwholosttheelectionandtriedtodestroydemocracytoholduphisfragileego-goose Wow. This Lugia V is a complete show-stopper, forgoing the overdone computer-generated style of this card type for a stunning illustration. Mitushiro Arita is best known for illustrating what may be the most iconic trading card ever produced: the Base Set Charizard. Now, he brings his skills to Lugia decades later for a card that is so beautiful that, were it the Alternate Art Lugia, it would be the definitive chase card of the set. Instead, it'll be an easy-to-pull Pokémon-V that will go down as one of the most gorgeous cards in this set. Once during your turn, you may put up to 2 Colorless Pokemon that don't have a Rule Box from your discard pile to your Bench. (You can't use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) Other upcoming Japanese releases include a “Special Battle Set Charizard VSTAR vs. Rayquaza VMAX” in November, a “Jumbo Card Collection” in December featuring Lapras, Mew, and Latias, and VSTAR Universe in December.You may use this during your turn. Choose up to 2 [C] Pokemon from your discard pile, except for Pokémon with a Rule Box, and put them on your Bench. (Pokemon V, Pokemon-GX, etc. have Rule Boxes). (You can’t use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) C][C][C] Star Gravity (VSTAR Power): Put damage counters on all of your opponent’s Pokemon V until they each have 100 HP remaining. (You can’t use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) Regieleki V/VMAX - Both are good anyway. VMax boosting the V for all-out Palkia KO (Palkia runs Kyurem anyway, so yeah). 4/4-5 We are in the final phase of Sword & Shield. The Pokémon TCGis now releasing information about the final few sets coming to Japan, which will later be adapted to English. So far, we know that the Hisuian Zoroark-themed Dark Phantasma will be adapted along with the Origin Forme Giratina-themed Lost Abyss to make the English-language Sword & Shield – Lost Origin. That leaves us with two more Japanese sets and one more English set. Japan's Alolan Vulpix-themed Incandescent Arcana and the (until now) mysterious Paradigm Trigger set will combine to make that final as-of-yet untitled Sword & Shield set. So what will Paradigm Trigger feature? Logo. Credit: Pokémon TCG Releasing on October 1st in Japan, it has been confirmed that Paradigm Trigger will focus on Lugia, Regidrago, and Regieleki. It is likely that Lugia will get a VSTAR as it is thought to be the mascot of the set. This is also likely the set where Regidrago and Regieleki, who have previously only gotten their own holo cards, will finally be featured on Pokémon-V.

R] Assist Flame: 20 damage. Attach up to 2 [R] Energy from your discard pile to your Pokemon in any way you like. Once per turn, you can use this ability if there is no Supporter card in the discard pile. Attach a Fighting Energy from your Discard Pile to one of your Pokemon. We discovered Lost Abyss in November, which should feature Giratina and possibly the Lost Zone. We’ll likely see it in April or May. C][C][C] Star Cypher (VSTAR Power): Until this Pokemon leaves play, it gains an Ability that has the effect “All of your opponent’s Pokemon’s Weakness is now [P]. (The amount of Weakness doesn’t change.)” (You can’t use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can't play this card.If this Pokémon is in your hand when you are setting up to play, you may put it face down as your Active Pokémon.

C][C] Cell Fork: 60 damage. Choose 2 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon and put 3 damage counters on each of them. Eerie Cry: Put 3 damage counters on each of your opponent’s Pokemon that has any damage counters on it. Earthen/Forest Seal Stone - well, Forest one is not just a very good tool card, but also a counter to Path to the Peak. 3/5 Incandescent Arcana: Releasing on September 2nd, this set will lead with Alolan Vulpix VSTAR. It is rumored that it will include a Character Rare featuring popular Alola-based Trainer Lillie with her Alolan Vulpix.
