Release period
Radiant Energy Vol. 2 (Chinese: 专题包 辉耀能量 第二弹Theme Pack: Radiant Energy Vol. 2) is a special subset from the Simplified Chinese Sword & Shield Era, released exclusively in mainland China.
Information
The second Radiant Energy subset provided more Simplified Chinese-language cards that had not been released in any other localized sets. Three of the four regular cards originated as Japanese S-P Promotional cards, including the initial print of the Celebratory Fanfare player reward. These cards were printed on Mirror Holofoil paper with a glitter Holofoil inlay. The remaining 19 cards were classed as Secret and mostly comprised Full Art cards sourced from Japanese subsets, including VMAX Climax, Dark Phantasma, Incandescent Arcana, and VSTAR Universe. Exceptions to this were the Full Art print of Gym Trainer, which was previously exclusive to the Silver Tempest expansion outside Asia, and the gold Ultra Rare-style print of Battle VIP Pass, which was new and exclusive to Chinese audiences.
As with the first subset, each booster pack contains two cards. One slot will be one of the regular cards, while the other slot will be one of the Secret cards. Radiant Energy Vol. 2 packs were not sold in booster display boxes and could only be found in certain products. Six of these were available fom July 12, 2024:
