About VSTAR

VSTAR looks to be an alternate option for evolving Pokémon V outside of VMAX cards and will feature powerful abilities called VSTAR Power. These VSTAR Power abilities will only be usable once per game, meaning that a lot of them could potentially be game-winning or at least generate a major advantage for a player when used.

Arceus VSTAR will have the VSTAR Power Starbirth, which will allow a player to search for any two cards from their deck and add them to their hand during their turn. If that ability is anything to go off of, VSTAR will become a massively powerful mechanic in the TCG and players will transition almost entirely to featuring at least one usable evolutionary line in their decks.
