Fans of the Shiny-themed collection have a lot to be excited for as it will be getting a sequel called Shining Fates in 2021. The upcoming cards will bring players a handful of Legendary ‘mon such as Reshiram and Kyogre, as well as the highly coveted Charizard VMAX from the Shiny Star V release which is currently only available in Japan.
