Paradigm Trigger

Series: Sword & Shield Series

Release date: October 21, 2022

Cards: 98 (27 secret)

Set code: S12

Two Pokémon Tools in this expansion carry a VSTAR Power, which until then had only ever sat on a Pokémon VSTAR. Forest Seal Stone pulls any card out of the deck and Earthen Seal Stone attacks, but a player still gets only one VSTAR Power for the whole game, so only one of them can ever be used. It closed the Japanese Sword and Shield Era as the twelfth and last of its main expansions. Regieleki takes the only VMAX in the list, while Lugia, Unown and Regidrago each get a VSTAR. The publisher set the release on a remote island where Pokémon live undisturbed, which is why Fossil species and Pokémon of murky origin crowd the numbering. It also teased that the Unown scattered through the Unown V artwork spell something once they are put in order. Paradigm Trigger (S12) was released on October 21, 2022 in the Sword & Shield series, with 98 cards plus 27 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Lugia V #110 (Super Rare), at $537.69 (median of 5 sales over 30 days, September 29, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $142.15 (median of 9 sales over 30 days, September 26, 2026).
