The Silver Tempest: Trainer Gallery Pokémon Set arrives as the elegant climax to the Sword & Shield Series’ final expansion, Silver Tempest, released on November 11, 2022 (Japan’s Paradigm Trigger on October 21). Slipping an exclusive 30‑card Trainer Gallery subset into regular boosters, this collection offers borderless Full Art reprints that pair iconic Trainers with their signature Pokémon. Each card captures the storm‑tossed elegance of Silver Tempest’s theme, making every pack rip feel like unveiling a museum‑quality print.
Within the Silver Tempest: Trainer Gallery Pokémon Set, you’ll find dynamic duos brought to vivid life—Professor Burnet & Lugia, Elaine & Alolan Vulpix, and Cynthia & Regidrago among them—each set against swirling silver‑white backdrops that echo the expansion’s tempest motif. Even powerhouse VSTAR legends join the parade: look for Lugia VSTAR & Professor Burnet and Regidrago VSTAR & Korrina, rendered in sweeping holo patterns that highlight every intricate detail. These cards retain full playability, complete with original effect text and rarity symbols, so they’re as deckworthy as they are display‑worthy.
Collectors unearthed plenty of hidden delights in this Trainer Gallery subset. Secret Rare variants—chief among them Lugia VSTAR & Professor Burnet rainbow‑foil cards—became instant chase targets, with secondary‑market prices spiking overnight. A few miscut prints, where Regidrago’s breath or Lugia’s spectral aura drifted into the border, instantly ascended to prized “error” status. And eagle‑eyed fans spotted the micro‑printed easel icon tucked into each card corner—a subtle signature celebrating this set’s art‑forward tribute to Galar’s greatest heroes.
Beyond the art, Silver Tempest: Trainer Gallery hints at deeper lore. This is the first time VSTAR Powers appear on Trainer cards, depicted as ancient relics tied to Paradigm Trigger’s story of a hidden island where fossil and origin Pokémon dwell. The fusion of dramatic visuals, strategic text, and collector nods make this subset a fitting farewell to the Sword & Shield saga—where art, gameplay, and story converge in one final, breathtaking storm.
