Remaining cards from the Sylveon ex and Ceruledge ex Stellar Tera Type Starter Sets revealed in update on the official Japanese Pokémon TCG Site

Today, the Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game website revealed the full deck lists for the Stellar Tera Type Starter Sets, two preconstructed 60-card decks, each focusing on a Stellar Pokémon ex, set to be released on August 30th. Exact counts for each card are not yet known.

This reveal was initially handled rather quietly, with full card lists for both decks being uploaded onto the website without any other formal statement or announcement as of the time of writing. It's possible a more formal reveal may be made later this evening Japan time, in the usual weekday update on the Pokémon Trading Card Game's official Japanese YouTube channel.
UPDATE: A video has now been posted.


The Vulpix and Snorlax cards have previously been teased in the commercial that first revealed these sets. The Ninetales card has artwork by a debuting artist, Kamome Shirahama, a Japanese manga artist best known for her Witch Hat Atelier series. The Sylveon deck also contains a Pa'u Style Oricorio card, the first one since Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising.

But hold on a second, haven't we seen Zapdos before? Yes, Zapdos will be a card in the Sylveon deck and an SVP Black Star Promotional card available in the Surging Sparks Three Pack Blisters, which have been revealed yesterday with the expansion.

Apart from these new Pokémon cards, the remaining cards revealed today for both sets are reprints of existing Trainer cards: Super Rod, Pokégear 3.0, Switch, Nemona, and Professor's Research. Nemona is featured in her Pokémon Scarlet outfit on the Sylveon deck, and her Pokémon Violet outfit on the Ceruledge deck. Professor's Research features Professor Sada on the Sylveon deck, and Professor Turo on the Ceruledge deck.

Translations of all cards revealed today can be found in the table below, and will be added on Bulbapedia shortly.
