The expansion will be released around the world on Feb. 19 and will include nine shiny Pokémon V and seven shiny Pokémon VMAX, like the highly collectible Shiny Charizard in its Gigantamax form.

Shining Fates will also introduce three more Amazing-type Pokémon, each featuring a legendary or mythical Pokémon illustrated with “vividly rainbow backgrounds that extend outside of the frame.”

With a total of more than 30 Pokémon V and Pokémon VMAX, trainers will be able to play with popular competitive Pokémon TCG cards from the Sword and Shield series.
