Pokémon China TCG 太晶盛聚 (Terastal Gathering): Nine Eeveelution SAR Cards and China-Exclusive Swap

ACE SPEC: Smoliv Itchy Pollen and SAR Trainer Cards

The set introduces Smoliv (含羞苞, 004/208) with an ACE SPEC attack called 癢癢花粉 (Itchy Pollen). It requires zero energy and deals only 10 damage, but the effect is what matters: the opponent cannot play Item cards from their hand on their next turn. The card also retreats from the active spot without discarding energy, making it flexible to reposition. ACE SPEC is a single-copy-per-deck restriction, so this is a high-commitment item lock.

Five trainer cards appear as Special Art Rares: Crispin (赤松, 249/208), Drayton (杜若, 251/208), Iono (紫竿, 252/208), Lacey (纳莉, 254/208), and Penny (小彩), each illustrated in a distinct lifestyle scene. These sit alongside the Eeveelution ex SARs as the other primary high-rarity pull targets.

Eevee ex: Rainbow Factor Ability

Eevee ex (140/208) is the mechanical keystone of the Eeveelution line. Its ability 彩虹因子 (Rainbow Factor) allows Eeveelution ex Pokémon evolved from Eevee to be placed directly onto an Eevee in hand during your turn — bypassing the usual bench-to-active evolution restriction. This means you can evolve Vaporeon ex, Jolteon ex, Flareon ex, and others in the same turn you play Eevee from hand.

The attack 石英闪耀 (Quartz Flash) deals 200 damage, making Eevee ex a usable backup attacker. It also appears as a Special Art Rare above the base 208 numbering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nine Eeveelution ex Special Art Rares

The set includes nine Eeveelution ex cards as Special Art Rares, each with a unique full-art crystal Terastal illustration. The lineup covers every evolved form: Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon, plus Eevee ex as the mechanical anchor of the lineup.

These SAR cards are numbered above the 208-card base and are the primary collector targets. Each captures its Eeveelution in a crystalline Tera Stellar environment with a distinct color palette.

How to Get 太晶盛聚

The set launches June 12, 2026 at 10:00 China standard time on pokemon.cn. Physical booster packs are available through authorised Pokémon Center retailers in China at 30 CNY per 10-card pack.

The China-Exclusive Swap: Glaceon ex and Sylveon ex

In Japan's SV8a Terastal Festival ex, the two signature Tera Stellar ex cards are Ogerpon ex and Terapagos ex. Pokémon China made a deliberate regional call: those two slots are replaced in 太晶盛聚 by Glaceon ex and Sylveon ex as Tera Stellar variants, giving the Chinese set a distinct identity anchored entirely in the Eeveelution family.

The 208-card set carries a Tera Stellar focus throughout, with Tera-type Pokémon and crystal-themed artwork appearing across multiple rarity tiers. The nine Eeveelution ex cards span all evolved forms, with Eevee ex itself carrying the ability that makes the whole line synergistic in play.

Smoliv Card Print Variants

Smoliv (含羞苞, 004/208) appears in three distinct print treatments within 太晶盛聚: a standard non-holo version, a holofoil version, and a special rainbow art variant. All three carry the same 癢癢花粉 (Itchy Pollen) attack and the Terastal floral field illustration, but the foil finish escalates from clean matte to holofoil shimmer to full rainbow treatment across the three prints.

For competitive play the variant is irrelevant — any copy of the card has the same effect. For collectors completing a full print-tier run of the set, all three are separate pulls. The Smoliv print trifecta sits below the Eeveelution ex SAR line in pull priority but is a meaningful completionist target for players who want every card in every finish.

Sylveon ex: Fairy Board Control

Sylveon ex SAR (234/208) is the other China-exclusive Tera Stellar variant, replacing Terapagos ex from the Japanese edition. Its attack 魔法魅惑 (Magic Charm) deals 160 damage and forces the affected opponent's Pokémon to deal -100 damage on their next attack — a significant defensive modifier stacked onto the attack damage.

The second attack 天使石 (Angel Stone) lets you select two of your opponent's Pokémon to remain; all others are returned to the opponent's hand along with their attached cards. This board-reset tool can deny bench damage targets or set up pivots. Sylveon ex also appears as a second full-art variant at card 076/208.

Vaporeon ex: Sweeping ex Damage

Vaporeon ex (036/208) pairs a targeted main attack with a board-sweeping support move. Its attack 疾风骤雨 (Swift Storm) deals 60 damage to all opposing ex Pokémon simultaneously — not just the active, but each benched ex as well. The damage ignores weakness and resistance. Against a board loaded with ex Pokémon, a single Swift Storm spreads significant chip damage across the opponent's entire field.

The constraint is that Vaporeon ex cannot use attacks the following turn after the high-damage attack 海蓝宝石 (Aquamarine) is used, requiring positioning. Vaporeon ex is the China-exclusive replacement for Ogerpon ex from the Japanese edition.
