When Will the Expansion Be Released?

It’s important to note that these Shiny variants are not just alternate-colored versions of the original cards. Many of them will feature retrained abilities, offering new moves and mechanics compared to their standard versions. Additionally, Shiny Pokémon will have an exclusive rarity category, making them unique collectibles.
