Set Details
The Vivid Voltage Pokémon Set charges into the Sword & Shield Series as the fourth main expansion, unleashing a storm of new mechanics and dazzling artwork. Released in Japan on September 18, 2020 (as Amazing Volt Tackle) and in English on November 13, 2020, this set features Generation VIII staples—Pokémon V and Pokémon VMAX—and draws inspiration from the Galar region’s electrifying battles. By combining its Japanese counterpart with the Legendary Heartbeat subset, Vivid Voltage offers fans over 200 cards, including fresh Full Art prints and powerful Trainer staples to supercharge any deck.
At the heart of the Vivid Voltage Pokémon Set lies the debut of Amazing Pokémon cards, a groundbreaking new rarity showcasing Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in fully edge‑to‑edge art. These cards—like Zacian, Zamazenta, Mew, and Lugia—burst off the page with kinetic holo treatments, making every pull feel like striking gold. Alongside these, Gigantamax Pikachu emerges with its own Pokémon VMAX form, while fan‑favorite staples such as Dragapult V, Blacephalon V, and Blaziken VMAX deliver knockout attacks that keep opponents on their toes.
Beyond the thrill of gameplay, the Vivid Voltage Pokémon Set is packed with collector lore. Early Elite Trainer Boxes in Taiwan and Hong Kong marked the first time the Chinese TCG matched Japanese set composition, sparking excitement across Asian markets. A few miscut Amazing Rare cards—where energy symbols drifted into the border—became instant legends among error‑card hunters. And no discussion of Vivid Voltage is complete without mentioning how Gigantamax Pikachu VMAX packs ignited social‑media frenzy, with box‑opening videos racking up millions of views as fans raced to snag the cutest yet mightiest VMAX of them all.
