An example of a Pokémon Star

Pokémon Star (pronounced Pokémon Star[1]) are a type of Pokémon found in the Pokémon Trading Card Game that depict the alternate color variation of a Pokémon.

First introduced in the EX Team Rocket Returns expansion, Pokémon Star saw the return of Shining/Alternate color Pokémon after their brief appearance in the Neo Revelation and Neo Destiny expansions. While they were still bound by the 1-per deck rule, they no longer featured multiple energy-type attacks (with the exception of Latias, Latios and Rayquaza from EX Deoxys) and often had very beneficial attacks, making them much more playable.

Pokémon Star features part of the Pokémon out of the artwork window border and the rarity symbol is in gold foil. Various areas of the card have golden tinges added to it, such as the corners of the attack text box and artwork window; the shadows of these graphics are also holographic.

Like their predecessors, these cards were still difficult to obtain, the odds of finding one roughly 1 in 2 booster boxes, sending their prices soaring. By far the most valuable Pokémon Star are the Japanese versions of the Eeveelutions, which were awarded as tiered prize cards to members of the Pokémon Players Club. Complete sets and the higher tier cards still command high prices. Their subsequent English release in the EX Power Keepers expansion and POP Series 5 promotional set saw their initial demand decrease, though the Japanese World Champions Pack reprints of Vaporeon Star, Jolteon Star, and Flareon Star proved more popular than their original prints due to the distribution method of the set.

δ Delta Species Pokémon Star are always the type that their alternate-colored form takes on the color of. For example, Gyarados Star δ is a Fire-type because Shiny Gyarados are red.

All Pokémon Star are Basic Pokémon, and all Pokémon Star cards are illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda.
