Silver Tempest is the final expansion of the Pokemon TCG Sword and Shields series set to release later this year. It will be the 12th expansion of the series, which started all the way back in February 2020 with the release of Sword & Shield main set.

Silver Tempest will be released on November 11th 2022 and will be the final set released for the 2022 year. Although no card images have been released just yet, we do know that the set will contain Radiant Jirachi and Radiant Alakazam. It will also see the return of VSTAR cards, with the legendary Pokemon Lugia featuring as a VSTAR!

From the Pokemon Press:

Aug. 25, 2022 — Today, The Pokémon Company International unveiled the latest expansion of the best-selling Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), Sword & Shield—Silver Tempest, coming to participating retailers around the world starting on Nov. 11, 2022.
 
Sword & Shield—Silver Tempest will introduce more Radiant Pokémon—such as Radiant Jirachi and Radiant Alakazam—which are Shiny Pokémon, illustrated in etched artwork, that often have a powerful Ability or attack. The expansion will also highlight more Pokémon VSTAR, including Lugia VSTAR and Regidrago VSTAR, plus the first Pokémon VSTAR in the Pokémon TCG to not be fully evolved: Alolan Vulpix VSTAR.

This set may become very popular due to it being the last in the Sword and Shields series and leading to the build up of the new Scarlet and Violet series!

The following early release details have also been released via Pokemon.com:

  • Over 190 cards

  • 3 brand-new Radiant Pokémon

  • 6 awesome Pokémon VSTAR
