8 𝔍 Dark Gengar (Secret Rare) – $210.00

Sneaking In From The Shadows

Gengar is frequently found among the most valuable chase cards in the Pokemon TCG, whether as a modern chase card in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sword & Shield's best sets or as a vintage banger like the Dark Gengar. Unlike the Shining cards, Gengar keeps its original color palette here and the dark background allows the purple to pop.

The color and lighting choices here give this card a visual distinction from the other expensive Neo Destiny cards, but its unusual appearance isn't enough to push Gengar into the top tier.

7 ♏ Shining Kabutops (Secret Rare) – $220.00 🌠

Historic Fossil Art

While it's not the most popular Pokemon of all time, Kabutops boasts some exceptional vintage cards, not least of which is the triumphant art featured in this Shining Kabutops.

A Stunning Shiny Legendary

Mewtwo makes its mark as one of the most valuable Pokemon to collect in the TCG, appearing with this fantastic Shining to follow up on its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:iconic base set card. This Shining M🀅ewtwo artwork and its powerful pose are fitting for such a powerful and elegant🦄 Pokemon.

While Mewtwo's color palette remains similar, the Shining Holo pattern gives it a shadowy, veiled appearance that has become an undeniable hallmark of this set.

5 🔯 Shining Celebi (Secret Rare) – $259.98

A Perfect Pink Makeover

Celebi features in some incredible card art from Generation Two but had a long period of relative dormancy until emerging with another 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:gorgeous depiction in Fusion Strike.

While it doesn't boast the long list of variations that a popular Pokemon like Charizard does, Celebi's cards are often highly valued and sought after by collectors.

As one of the best Celebi cards you'll find, the Shining Celebi from Neo Destiny boasts strong, solid value that earns it a spot among the best Neo Destiny cards.

4 Shining Steeꦆlix (Secret Rare) – $269.99

A Golden Touch

Steelix returns after also appearing among 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the most valuable cards in Neo Genesis, as the giant Generation Two metal snake slithers into another top spot, this time landing among the upper echelon in Neo Discovery.

Steelix's gold color swap is a gorgeous makeover for this usually silver snake, though the dark background makes it very difficult to appreciate without holding the card. Aside from that, Steelix's depicted lunge toward us is striking and gives this card an intimidating edge.

3 Shining Tyranitar (S꧒ecret Rar♔e) – $392.99

Seeking The Crown

The Shining Tyranitar is a gorgeous example of muted, darker colors working together to give this Pokemon an incredible Shining card, worthy of being one of the most expensive cards in Neo Destiny.

Unfortunately, it's hard to appreciate this card unless you see it in person, as the subtle colors benefit from natural light that illuminates Tyranitar more fully.

Tyranitar is used to seeing solid demand, as it remains a popular chase card across generations, even appearing among 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:t🐭he most valuable cards in Ancient Origins, which is primarily focused on Hoenn's legendary Pokemon, like Groudon and Kyogre.

2 Shining Raichu (Secret Rare) – $399.99 ♈

Gliding Into Our Hearts

Shining Raichu features perhaps the most vibrant color palette of any Shining Pokemon in Neo Destiny, as most of these Secret Rares feature darker Holo patterns on the Pokemon. When combined with somewhat similar backgrounds, certain Shining Pokemon get lost in the art, but not Raichu.

This Electric-type Pokemon benefits from the yellow border and background of the card's main area, while the bright blue backdrop behind Raichu is the perfect contrast to help its darker shading pop, giving this card a huge amount of visual appeal, even as a digital image.

1 Shining Charizard (Secret Rare) – $6📖02.33

A Dark Dragon Rises

Shining Charizard features one of the most recognizable Charizard artworks ever, as this incredible card sticks out as the most expensive in Neo Destiny. As one of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the most valuabಌle Charizard cards ever, this Shining variant brings added hyp🍨e to the most popular Pokemon in the TCG.

There aren't many superlatives that this card doesn't deserve; it's one of the best examples of 'less is more' as this design lacks small details, but captures such a rare moment, as we see a Shining (aka Shiny) Charizard flying away from us, like a cryptid fleeing from sight.
