New Cards Revealed from S9 'Star Birth' Japan! This year will be interesting

Pokemon Card Game Japan just revealed another new card from the upcoming set S9 ‘Star Birth’ in their Official YouTube Channel. 

 

The set will be released on January 14, 2022, and will be priced at 4950 Yen per box. It will be featuring a new mechanic, VSTAR Power that is similar to the GX attack.

 

The booster box will contain 30 Booster Pack. The set will be having 100 cards before SR, HR, etc.

 

Here are the new cards:

What do you guys think? With Ultra Ball coming back to the rotation this year, many possibilities emerge especially when making Single-Prize decks. I think they can have a chance in the meta or can be a secondary attacker/helper in our already meta decks.
