Shining Legends

Series: Sun & Moon

Release date: October 6, 2017

Cards: 73 (5 secret)

Set code: SM3.5

Shining Pokémon come back here for the first time since the Neo Series, six of them, and each is printed as a Basic Pokémon whatever stage its species normally occupies. Shining Genesect, Shining Volcanion, Shining Mew, Shining Jirachi, Shining Rayquaza and Shining Arceus are the six, scattered through the numbered list rather than gathered at its end. Zoroark-GX is the other reason to open these packs, since its Trade Ability turns one unwanted card in hand into two fresh ones every turn. Four Pokémon-GX appear in all, Entei, Raichu, Mewtwo and Zoroark, and every one of them was printed more than once. The Japanese release came in July 2017, timed to the twentieth Pokémon film, and its list gathers the Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon of the films made up to that point. English packs followed three months later, with five cards numbered past the end of the list. Shining Legends (SM3.5) was released on October 6, 2017 in the Sun & Moon series, with 73 cards plus 5 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Mewtwo GX #78 (Secret Rare), at $669.84 (median of 15 sales over 30 days, September 30, 2026).
