For Pokémon fans, encountering a Shiny Pokémon in the video games is a rare and thrilling moment. This excitement translates directly into the Pokémon TCG, where Shiny Pokémon cards, featuring these alternate-coloured pocket monsters, are some of the most sought-after collectibles. Special “Shiny Vault” subsets within larger expansions have become a highlight of recent eras – and we assume them to stay in sets to come.
At We Love Collectibles, we understand the passion for shiny hunting! And, hopefully, in the future there will be a shiny pokémon card for every pokémon for those willing to collect them all. For now, why don’t you browse our very own “Shiny Vault” – Featuring sets like Paldean Fates, Hidden Fates, and Shining Fates.
The Japanese Source: Shiny Treasure EX
Many of our English special “shiny” sets originate from Japan’s popular year-end “High-Class Packs.” The recent Paldean Fates set, for example, is derived from Japan’s Shiny Treasure EX. For collectors who enjoy Japanese cards or want a different pack-opening experience, we have:
- Pokémon TCG Shiny Treasure EX Booster Box (£70.00): Each box contains 10 booster packs, and each pack guarantees a Pokémon ex. This set is packed with Shiny Pokémon from the Paldea region and beyond, offering a fantastic way to hunt for Japanese versions of your favourite shinies.
Paldean Fates: A Modern Shiny Extravaganza
Released early 2024, Paldean Fates brought the Shiny Vault concept to the Scarlet & Violet era, featuring over 130 “baby shinies” (regular Shiny Pokémon) in its extensive Shiny Vault subset, alongside powerful Shiny Pokémon ex.

Throwback Shiny Vaults: Hidden Fates & Shining Fates

- Hidden Fates (2019): The original English Shiny Vault! We sometimes get singles like the stunning Gardevoir-GX (SV75/94 – £25.00) or Ho-Oh-GX (SV50/94 – £23.00). Keep an eye out for “baby shinies” from this set too, like Noibat or Froakie.

We often have a great selection, from Shiny V and VMAX cards like Galarian Rapidash (SV048/SV122 – £7.50) or Toxtricity VMAX (SV113/SV122 – £6.00), to a wide array of “baby shinies” like Drakloak, Milcery, Snom, Impidimp, Lapras V, and many more
