Description
Buy the Japanese Star Birth Booster Box from Obsidia TCG and open the set that introduced Pokémon VSTAR. Star Birth (s9) was released in Japan on 14 January 2022 as the ninth Sword & Shield expansion, with a strong Sinnoh theme.
What’s in the Japanese Star Birth Booster Box
- 30 Star Birth booster packs
- 5 cards in each pack
- Cards featuring Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, including Arceus, Shaymin, Whimsicott, Lumineon and Raichu
- Packaging option: Shrink or No Shrink
See the card list on Serebii’s Star Birth page. Packs are random, so no particular card is guaranteed.
Why Star Birth Stands Out
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. The set also includes the Special Energy Double Turbo Energy, and Sinnoh favourites appear throughout the list. Because it launched a new mechanic, Star Birth appeals to collectors who like to own the first appearance of a card type.
Star Birth and Brilliant Stars
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 English Brilliant Stars packs hold ten. The Japanese cards can’t be used in English tournaments, but a sealed Star Birth box is a great gift for collectors of the Sword & Shield era.
Some Japanese stores remove shrink wrap upon purchase to prevent resale, so we offer both Shrink and No Shrink boxes.
