In addition to the above, Shining Fates promises to be a memorable set because of the fact it won’t technically be a “standard” expansion. While it won’t be the long-awaited 25th Anniversary Set either, it will be something particularly noteworthy. Much like the wildly popular “Champion’s Path” expansion, which features Galar’s Gym Leaders and the Charizard VMAX Rainbow/Secret Rare card, Shining Fates will actually be considered a special expansion set. This means that Shining Fates booster packs will not be available for individual purchase – players will only be able to find Shining Fates packs in special collecti
