The master set counts 128 Reverse Holofoil, 108 Holofoil and 108 Normal. It leaves out 23 Play Pokemon Stamp, 13 Play Pokemon Stamp Holofoil, 7 Normal sold outside booster packs, 5 Rikuto Ohashi and 26 more in 13 other printings.

Its Trainer Gallery (30 cards) is part of this expansion, listed on its own. Together they are 246 cards and 374 unique printings in the master set.

Sword & Shield—Astral Radiance travels to ancient Hisui, the setting of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia represent time and space, while Hisuian Decidueye, Typhlosion, Samurott, and other regional forms show familiar Pokémon adapted to the past. Villages, wilderness, and historical clothing give the artwork a clear visual separation from modern Sinnoh. It combines Japan’s Battle Region, Time Gazer, and Space Juggler, while its Trainer Gallery draws from VMAX Climax.

Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR and Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR provide the major legendary centrepieces, joined by Hisuian Pokémon VSTAR and alternate-art cards such as Machamp V. The expansion introduces Radiant Pokémon, shiny Basic Pokémon with powerful effects that are limited to one per deck. Radiant Greninja became especially important in competitive play. A 30-card Trainer Gallery continues the character-focused artwork begun in Brilliant Stars, featuring Hisuian characters and returning favourites. Astral Radiance succeeds as a regional history set: its mechanics remain modern, but its species, environments, and human relationships are firmly rooted in Hisui. That mixture makes it both a companion to the video game and a distinctive TCG expansion in its own right.
