A Brilliant Gleam: The Complete List of Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon TCG Pocket

In a thrilling development for collectors and players alike, Pokémon TCG Pocket has introduced Shiny Pokémon cards, bringing a new level of rarity and visual flair to the digital card game. These cards, which are functionally identical to their non-Shiny counterparts but feature a distinct, shimmering art style, were first added with the “Shining Revelry” expansion, and more have been released in subsequent sets. Chasing these coveted cards has become a major objective for many players, adding a fresh layer of excitement to opening booster packs and building a collection. Here is the most comprehensive list of all known Shiny cards and their rarities within the game’s various sets.

It’s important to note that the list of Shiny Pokémon is ever-expanding with each new set release. The following list is based on all currently released sets and includes both the standard “Shiny Rare” and the more powerful “Shiny Rare ex” cards that have been introduced. The rarity of these cards is a step above even the rarest of the standard set, making them incredibly difficult to acquire, similar to the “Shiny Vault” sets in the physical TCG.
