What makes these pulls especially exciting is the placement of the Shiny Vault subset cards. I'll cover the specifics of the Bolton V Tin, Pikachu V Box, and Mad Party Box in dedicated reviews, but here is a run-down of my major pulls from these packs. Of course, everyone's mileage may vary, but I had terrific pulls from my Elite Trainer Box and other products. This makes for a fun pack opening experience in multiple ways, because the design of some of the later-introduced Shinies is still new to me and also because pulling a classic Pokémon such as Ditto, Lapras, or Charizard in their Shiny form is a bit rarer due to how few of the O.G.s are in the set. It's very much a "Hidden Fates for the now," in that its predecessor focused mostly on Shiny Pokémon from early generations while Shining Fates focuses largely on newer Pokémon.

These have historically been some of the most beloved promo cards in the game, with Hidden Fates offering the incredible stained glass window Tag Team card featuring the Legendary Birds of Kanto and Champion's Path featuring Charizard V. One of the major perks of "special sets" (or, "holiday sets" as some call them) like these in contrast to regular expansions is that the special Elite Trainer Boxes come with a promo card in addition to the normal content. Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Elite Trainer box. First, we're tackling the product that offers the most bang for your buck: the Elite Trainer Box. Let's dive in and see if this set is worth the hype. Shining Fates products will begin to release tomorrow, February 19th, but the Pokémon Company International was nice enough to send me some of this set's products in exchange for fair reviews. ![]() The product line features an Elite Trainer Box, tins, boxes - pretty much the same treatment that Hidden Fates got. This highly anticipated set is the sequel to the smash hit Hidden Fates, and features a standard set of 72 cards and a subset of over 100 Shiny Pokémon. Shining Fates is setting the Pokémon TCG fandom on fire.
