Released on February 19, 2021, Shining Fates is a special expansion in the Sword & Shield series built around Shiny Pokémon, featuring a 122-card Shiny Vault subset alongside a 73-card base set. The crown jewel of the set is the Shiny Charizard VMAX in its Gigantamax form, which became one of the most iconic chase cards of its era. Shining Fates launched at the height of the Pokémon card collecting boom, making many products difficult to find at retail for months after release. Here are the 10 most expensive cards from this expansion.
