5 facts about this card
This Brilliant Stars Empoleon is a Stage 2 Water-type with the comeback-style Ability Emergency Surfacing, letting it leap from the discard pile to your Bench when your hand is empty and immediately refill you with cards.
Empoleon is officially known as the Emperor Pokémon, and this card’s flavor text highlights its regal pecking order by noting that the leader has the biggest horns.
Empoleon appears in Sword & Shield—Brilliant Stars, the expansion that introduced Pokémon VSTAR to the TCG and launched on February 25, 2022, giving this reverse holo a place in one of the era’s headline sets.
The artwork is by Kouki Saitou, a longtime Pokémon illustrator known for dynamic, animation-like compositions and a massive body of TCG work that makes his cards especially recognizable to veteran collectors.
Empoleon’s royal image is still strong in modern Pokémon media, with Pokémon.com spotlighting it as a 'royally powerful' 7-star Tera Raid boss in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in 2026.
