Brilliant Illusions will be China’s eighth Scarlet & Violet era set, headlined by Milotic ex from Surging Sparks. The set is scheduled to release on March 13. As usual, booster packs will be available in both 5-card and 20-card versions.
China has been releasing compilation-style sets since 2022 to catch up with international releases, beginning with the Sun & Moon era. Brilliant Illusions continues this trend by pulling cards from Twilight Masquerade, Shrouded Fable, and Surging Sparks.

Carmine will receive a brand-new Special Illustration Rare in this set that has not been released anywhere else in the world. Like other Chinese-exclusive alternate artworks introduced since 2022, this version is expected to remain exclusive.

The bonus card included in the bundle can be one of several reverse holo cards or Double Rares. Reverse holos come in two styles:
The inclusion ratio between Poké Ball and Master Ball reverse holos is 99:1, making Master Ball versions extremely difficult to pull.
Each bundle also includes a collectible coin. The standard coin sets share equal pull rates, while the gold coins are 99 times rarer, making them premium chase items for collectors.
Collectors will also be able to purchase a Milotic-themed coin album capable of holding up to 30 coins, designed specifically for storing coins from this series.
