About the Series
The SWSH Black Star Promos cover the Sword & Shield era. It is the largest Black Star Promo series in the TCGdex catalogue.
The series carries every Sword & Shield headline mechanic: Pokémon V, VMAX, VSTAR and V-UNION.
Numbering & Identification
Numbers use a three-digit SWSH prefix, starting at SWSH001. This is the first Black Star Promo series to zero-pad its numbers.
Every Black Star Promo carries a black star where an expansion symbol would normally sit. That mark is what gives the series its name.
How to identify one: the black star contains a three-digit SWSH-prefixed number, and the card has no set symbol.
