The master set counts each of its 119 cards once, in any card. It leaves out 99 First Edition, 99 Unlimited, 20 First Edition Holofoil and 20 Unlimited Holofoil.

Shining Darkness brings together an unusually broad selection of legendary Pokémon and fully evolved favourites. Lugia, Ho-Oh, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune connect Sinnoh to earlier regions, while Gardevoir, Gallade, Flygon, and other popular evolutions give the set a varied, almost celebratory feel. The artwork moves between forests, ruins, skies, and cosmic settings, matching the expansion’s theme of wonders hidden throughout the Pokémon world. Gardevoir LV.X is one of the best-known cards, joined by Honchkrow LV.X, Electivire LV.X, and several legendary or high-stage Pokémon.

The set is also remembered for strong playable cards such as Gardevoir and for giving many non-legendary species substantial attention. Rather than following a single storyline, Shining Darkness works as a showcase of rare encounters and unexpected discoveries. Its large checklist, rich legendary lineup, and mixture of Sinnoh newcomers with established favourites make it an appealing expansion for collectors who enjoy variety and for players interested in the increasingly sophisticated strategies of the DP era. The English *Diamond & Pearl—Secret Wonders* closely follows this release but reorganises some cards, rarities, and numbering.
