Shiny rare card (TCG)
Shiny rare is a type of rarity in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introduced in the Hidden Fates expansion, though the rarity was heavily redefined in the Paldean Fates expansion. Shiny rare cards are a variant of holographic cards that showcase Pokémon in their shiny forms. These cards are also Secret cards and can be identified through having a hollowed out gold stars () as their rarity symbol. Before the Scarlet & Violet Series, this rarity was referred to as "Rare Shiny" in the Hidden Fates expansion and "Shiny Rare" in the Shining Fates expansion; in both of these expansions this rarity was denoted with the () rarity symbol.
The Asian equivalent of this rarity is the shiny rare rarity denoted by the () rarity symbol, these cards are limited to being found in select High Class expansion sets.
