Silver Tempest Set Guide

Overview

Silver Tempest is the twelfth and last Sword & Shield expansion: 195 cards up to the printed total and 20 secret rares above it (196 to 215). Crown Zenith followed in January 2023 as the series' closing special set.

Lugia VSTAR's Summoning Star puts two Colorless Pokémon without a rule box from your discard pile onto your Bench, and Forest Seal Stone, a Pokémon Tool, gives a Pokémon V a VSTAR Power of its own. Its Trainer Gallery is a 30-card companion list, numbered TG01 to TG30 and filed under its own catalog code, of Pokémon pictured with their Trainers and full-art Pokémon V and VMAX.

Cards and rarities

Silver Tempest has 215 cards. Every card shows its number over the printed total along the bottom, as in "001/195", next to the set code SIT.

The printed total is 195, so the 20 cards from 196 to 215 are secret rares. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set against its printed total and keeps the secret rares apart, so finishing the main set and chasing the cards above it read as two separate goals. How set completion works →

Headline Pokémon

A Pokémon VSTAR evolves from a Pokémon V and gives up two Prize cards when Knocked Out. Each has a VSTAR Power, an attack or Ability you can use only once in a game across all your VSTAR Powers. Three of this set's:

Lugia VSTAR

Silver Tempest #139

280 HP VSTAR. Summoning Star, its VSTAR Power, puts up to 2 Colorless Pokémon without a rule box from your discard pile onto your Bench. Tempest Dive does 220.

Regidrago VSTAR

Silver Tempest #136

280 HP VSTAR. Legacy Star, its VSTAR Power, discards the top 7 cards of your deck and puts up to 2 cards from your discard pile into your hand.

Regieleki VMAX

Silver Tempest #58

310 HP VMAX. Transistor: your Basic Lightning Pokémon's attacks do 30 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon.

Trainers worth knowing

Only the exact version is worth its price. The number at the bottom of the card and the rarity symbol beside it tell you which one you pulled. Reading the number and rarity symbol →

Chase cards and prices

The alternate full-art Lugia V leads, then the Trainer Gallery's Rayquaza VMAX. Nothing else reaches $40.

These are each card's headline TCGplayer market price on October 22, 2026. Prices can move a long way, most of all in a set's first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for every variant and its 90-day chart. How Pokémon card prices work →

What a complete set costs

One copy of every card in Silver Tempest, bought as singles, cost $914.69 on October 22, 2026, and its Trainer Gallery $459.56 more. Together that is the 7th most expensive of the seventeen sets in the Sword & Shield series.

The three most valuable cards, Lugia V, Lugia VSTAR and Unown V, come to $545.63, or 60% of the total. Without them the set costs $369.06. Of the 215 cards, 168 were under $2.00, together $49.50; the other 47 add up to $865.19.

The Trainer Gallery's 30 cards are priced separately, and 53% of their $459.56 is in its top three cards, Rayquaza VMAX, Blaziken VMAX and Blaziken V.

Each card is counted at its cheapest priced variant, a Normal copy rather than a Reverse Holofoil where both exist, at its TCGplayer market price. This is what it costs to buy the set as singles. It is not what opening packs returns, and not what a complete set would sell for, which after fees and the many cards worth cents would be noticeably less.

Playing it

Silver Tempest cards carry the D and F regulation marks, and Standard has allowed only H, I and J since April 10, 2026, so none is Standard-legal as printed. Every card in Silver Tempest is legal in Expanded, which takes every set from Black & White on.

A reprint with a legal mark makes older printings of the same card legal again, so check a card's name before you rule it out.
