The Japanese Vmax Climax High Class booster
The Vmax Climax booster was released in Japan on December 3, 2021 and contains 284 possible cards. It can be categorized as High Class, so there are a lot of reprinted cards from the Sword & Shield era in it.
As is known from Japanese High Class packs, there are 10 packs in a box, with 11 cards per pack, so will enrich ourselves with a total of 110 cards if we open a box.
The English equivalent is Brilliant Stars, but the pull rate (the proportion of "more valuable, rarer" cards) is much better in Vmax Climax.

Why is Vmax Climax so popular? Is the pull rate really that good?
In short: yes, the pull rate is very good, guaranteed to be good!
Each package (i.e. out of 11 cards) has a fixed Full Art card (V, VMAX, V-UNION or SR and rarer).
This is just the bare minimum, there are many packages with two full art card also available.
In addition, there are so-called "God Packs," which are rare, but in these packs therea are only full art cards (and an energy)! This means 10 full art (Character Rare, Character Super Rare or Super Rare) cards in one pack!
In addition to full art cards, 1 Holo Energy, 1 Reverse Brick Holo or Character Rare is guaranteed in each package.
Rare cards, which one should you pay more attention to?
Obviously all the full art cards (and the new Character Rare types) are beautiful, but there are some more valuable ones within them.
