Sylveon VMAX - SWSH09: Brilliant Stars Trainer Gallery (SWSH09:TG) Pokemon
The Sylveon VMAX — TG15/TG30 — Brilliant Stars Trainer Gallery is one of the most visually striking and collector-coveted pulls from the entire Sword & Shield era. Numbered out of just 30 cards in the Trainer Gallery subset, it belongs to a format-defining release: Brilliant Stars (SWSH09, February 25, 2022) was the set that debuted the Trainer Gallery concept in the English Pokémon TCG — a "set within a set" that hadn't been seen since Cosmic Eclipse. This Sylveon VMAX lands in the Character Super Rare tier, meaning it pairs the full VMAX card mechanic with textured, full-art Character Rare treatment — a combination introduced for the very first time in this release.
- Card: Sylveon VMAX · TG15/TG30 · Character Super Rare · Holo
- Artwork: Illustrated by sui, featuring Sylveon's signature pastel palette in an enchanting, full-bleed scene with deep textured holofoil finish
- On-card stats: 310 HP, Precious Touch (attach Energy + heal 120 from a Benched Pokémon), and Max Harmony — dealing 70+ damage scaling with team diversity
- Market: Raw NM copies trading around $78–$80 in August 2026; PSA 10 Gem Mint copies have sold in the $115–$120 range
Sylveon is a perennial Eeveelution favorite with sustained collector demand, and the Trainer Gallery format — pulled from the reverse holo slot — made these cards harder to land than standard secret rares. With the VMAX mechanic phased out of the main set starting with this very release, this card represents the final generation of VMAX Character Super Rares in the Sword & Shield lineup. Raw copies are clean submission candidates; a PSA 10 on this textured holo is a genuine showcase piece for any Sylveon, Eeveelution, or Brilliant Stars binder.
