The last Sword & Shield set. Lugia V Star Alt Art, Regidrago V Star, Alolan Vulpix V Star — here's what every slot is worth in Silver Tempest breaks.
Silver Tempest released November 2022 as the final main Sword & Shield set, bridging the gap before the Scarlet & Violet era. It brought 5 Alternate Art cards, a strong Lugia V Star centerpiece, and enough Gold Secret Rares to keep break value competitive. If you're looking at SWSH-era breaks, Silver Tempest is consistently one of the more balanced options.

Card 211/195 (Lugia V Star Alternate Art) is the set's centerpiece. Lugia has one of the strongest collector fanbases in Pokemon — the Legendary Bird is perpetually in demand. This Alt Art features dynamic artwork that collectors have consistently valued above average.
Current market: Raw NM $80-150 · PSA 9 $150-280 · PSA 10 $300-600+
The regular Lugia V Star (non-alt) also pulls decent value at $15-35 raw. Colorless slot holds two Lugia targets plus any Colorless-type commons.
Dragon slot's main pull. Regidrago V Star Alt Art (card 215/195) is more niche but holds $25-60 raw. Dragon collectors and Regi-set completionists drive demand. Not Rayquaza-tier but a real hit for Dragon slot holders.
The Psychic slot's highlight — Alolan Vulpix Alt Art (card 209/195) is a fan-favorite design at $30-70 raw. Ice-type aesthetics and Alolan variant demand keep it moving on the secondary market.
Silver Tempest uses V Star cards instead of VMAX (which ended with Evolving Skies era). V Star cards are slightly smaller in physical size and tend to have lower pull rates for Alt Arts than VMAX-era sets. The trade-off: Lugia V Star Alt Art is one of the cleanest Alt Art compositions in all of SWSH, which sustains its premium price.
Silver Tempest includes Gold versions of Items and Supporters (cards 196-203). These are typically assigned to a "Trainer" slot if the break host offers one, or distributed as a bonus pull to whoever's slot type is listed on the card's typing. Always confirm the Gold card rules with your host before joining.
