  What's in it
  Unveiling the Stellar Tera Pokémon ex
  

  One of the standout features of this expansion is the introduction of the Stellar Tera Pokémon ex. These cards have a crystalline, gemstone-powered design and feature special "stellar attacks" that require three different types of Energy to use. The Stellar Tera Pokémon ex making their debut include:
  
  Terapagos: The Legendary Pokémon takes center stage with its powerful "Tera Starstorm" attack, which damages all opposing Pokémon.
  
  Cinderace ex
  
  Lapras ex
  
  Galvantula ex
  
  These Pokémon ex are considered Colorless type, but their attacks are treated as the new Stellar type. This new type introduces a fresh dynamic to the game, as Stellar-type moves can only be resisted by specific Abilities like Tera Shell and Wonder Guard.

  The Stellar Crown set also brings three new ACE SPEC rare Trainer cards. Known for their powerful effects, these cards are designed to shake up the game in exciting new ways. While their specific abilities are yet to be revealed, the anticipation is already building among fans.
