Shiny Pokémon Get a Fresh Rarity System
Paldean Fates introduces two new rarity tiers specifically for Shiny Pokémon: Shiny Rare and Shiny Ultra Rare. You can tell them apart by the sparkling stars in the bottom-left corner of each card — one star for Shiny Rare, two stars for Shiny Ultra Rare. It’s a clean, intuitive system that makes hunting these cards extra satisfying.
Standout Cards to Look For
Shiny Pawmi appears as a peaceful Illustration Rare, while Charizard shows up in shiny crystalline form surrounded by epic flames. Trainer cards also get the special treatment — Clive and Iono both receive Special Illustration Rares that lean into their distinct personalities.
