Pokemon TCG Pocket Shiny cards, aka Shinies, have been growing in number for several expansions now, with new variants coming out regularly. Shinies in PTCGP aren't functionally any different to regular cards in how they play, but they're a rarer version that's good for bragging rights on your collection. Not to mention that a lot of the cards that do get Shiny treatment are those known for being popular and powerful! We've got the full list of Shinies in PTCG Pocket below, what expansion they're a part of and what rarity they are, updated for the Secluded Springs expansion.

To be clear, none of these function differently to non-shiny versions - they're just an aesthetic variation that gives you bragging rights on the battlefield. And yes, non-shiny versions of these cards will also be present in the expansion set, so it's still fairly easy to get them if they turn out to make up the new Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks.

How to get Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Shiny cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Shiny Pokemon Cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket can be obtained from booster packs, but not just any Booster Pack. They're specific to booster sets from Shining Revelry onwards, and it seems like they'll be the norm going forward. However, they are rare drops, with low offering rates.

When you open a pack, there are two tiers of Shiny Card, with different drop rates. Assuming you don't get a Rare "God Pack", the chance of getting any Tier 1 Shiny Cards is 3.571%. The chance of getting the better Tier 2 Shiny Cards is 1.666%. With that being the case, you'll have to keep opening packs to get a wide range of them.

There are two exceptions to this, specific Shiny cards which are earned in different ways:

  • Shiny Mewtwo ex: A promo card and part of the Paid Poke Gold Package in the shop. You'll have to pay money to obtain it - right now there's no other option.
  • Shiny Cyclizar: A promo card reward as part of the ex Starter limited-time event, which you could earn by collecting 50 cards before April 27, 2025. If you're looking at these missions, we have a guide on the Pokemon TCG Pocket best ex Starter deck, though it has now expired.

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at Eurogamer, Gfinity, USgamer, SFX Magazine, RPS, Dicebreaker, VG247, and more.
