Its Shiny Vault (122 cards) is part of this expansion, listed on its own. Together they are 195 cards and 241 unique printings in the master set.

Shining Fates is a special expansion devoted to shiny Pokémon, following the collector-focused model established by Hidden Fates. Its main set features Pokémon V and VMAX from across Galar, while the separately numbered Shiny Vault contains more than one hundred alternate-coloured Pokémon. Packs were distributed through boxed products and tins, making the release feel designed primarily around the excitement of discovering rare colour printings. It was largely adapted from Japan’s Shiny Star V, with modest changes to card selection and rarity distribution.

Shiny Charizard VMAX is the defining chase card, joined by shiny versions of Ditto VMAX, Lapras VMAX, Toxtricity VMAX, and many smaller Pokémon. Full-art shiny Pokémon V and baby shiny holographics create several levels of collecting, while Amazing Rare cards for Kyogre, Yveltal, and Reshiram add another colourful subset. The main checklist includes familiar competitive cards, but the Shiny Vault is the clear identity of the expansion. Shining Fates translates the video-game hunt for rare Pokémon into a large, rewarding card catalogue, offering frequent special pulls and a demanding master-set challenge centred on Galar’s shiny forms.
