Aside from that, Pokémon games and Pokémon Trading Card Games have been taking the spotlight now. That being said, Pokémon Trading Card Games were stirred with the entry of shining Pokémon and Shining Fates Cards.

P.S. I researched thoroughly to make an impressive list based on the popularity and worth of these cards. So, I won’t hold you back any longer, lez goo!!!
POKEMON SHINING FATES CARDS
20. Shiny Ditto V
Price: $2-$5
Pokémon Type: Normal
Card# SV118
As compared to others, Ditto V isn’t very famous. However, it still has a place in Shiny Fates cards set as a valuable card. Even in the game, Ditto V does not do much except for being a normal Pokémon!
Making its appearance as a regular Pokémon is one of the common characteristics of Ditto. This card lies more on the cute side because of its attractive printing. Still, it is worth a few dollars and has its name in the most valuable one among Shiny Fates cards.

19. Toxtricity VMAX
Price: $3-$5
Pokémon Type: Electric & Poison
Card# SV113/SV122
Among the most valuable Shining Fate cards, Toxtricity is gaining popularity and price due to its striking print and the Pokémon’s duality in battle. Its card comes in with a G-Max Riot attack with 160+ attack points.
This makes it a worthy candidate to be on the most valuable list, and it is.
18. Galarian Weezing
Price: $5-$7
Pokémon Type: Poison & Fairy
Card# SV077/SV122
It is yet another entry in the Shining Fate card set that is gaining its worth. It is also a mid-level evolved Pokémon that has made its way on the most valuable list. However, it is still on the side where it can be availed easily.
However AGAIN, a hike is expected at its price by the end of the year. The reason is that the card comes in with a convenient ability named Severe Poison. Even though Galarian Weezing is not a fighter type still, if this guy is in the game, the opponent’s active Pokémon will be poisoned and unable to fight.
17. Shining Grimmsnarl VMAX
Price: $4-$9
Pokémon Type: Dark Fairy
Card# SV117
This card was released in mid-2020. Its price is continuously changing—more like increasing day by day because of its popularity. It was initially a part of Darkness Ablaze and later was included in Shiny Fate cards, proving its worth.
Shining Grimmsnarl VMAX is a strong attack-type card. Its attack G-Max Drill adds 50 more damage on each darkness ball it shoots.

16. Shiny Oranguru
Price: $6-$9
Pokémon Type: Normal & Psychic
Card# SV098/SV122
Oranguru is a basic Pokémon. Still, in the Shining Fate card series, it is gaining popularity. It started from $2, and now the current value reaches $9. This card allows you to whip a card from the deck with one from your hand.
It increases your playability by a lot. Its Whap Down ability lets you use the best card at hand for the said battle. This has become a reason for its popularity and increasing worth.
15. Shiny Ditto VMAX
Price: $7-$10
Pokémon Type: Normal
Card# SV119
In the Shiny Fate Cards set, there are two cards for a single Pokémon, Ditto V, and Ditto V-MAX. Card traders typically opt for Ditto V-MAX. Even though Ditto V-MAX does not display the originality of the Pokémon, it is still more valuable compared to Ditto V.
Players opt for this card, knowing that it comes with an attack Max Transform. That allows your Pokémon to use your opponent’s attack as yours.
14. Koffing
Price: $7-$10
Pokémon Type: Poison Type Darkness
Card # 041/072
Koffing Shining Fate card was released along with Yamper in Feb of 2021. It is a common card with basic Pokémon characteristics among card traders. Koffing is a battler Pokémon with levitating as a primary ability.
In the beginning, it was included as both a regular and shining card in the Shining fate set. Later, surprisingly, its card made it all the way to the top 20 valuable shining fate cards.
13. Shiny Eternatus V
Price: $5-$12
Pokémon Type: Dragon & Poison
Card# SV121
Talk about aesthetics, Eternatus takes the crown. It is genuinely one of the few most attractive cards. Originally it was a part of Darkness Ablaze in Japan. Later, it occupied its position in the Shining Fate cards set when reprinted.
This card comes in with a solid and effective attack that the card traded would love to have. Dynamax Cannon has the upper hand on VMAX opponents as it does 120 more damage to them than a regular one.
12. Galarian Zigzagoon
Price: $10-$13
Pokémon Type: Normal & Dark
Card# SV078/SV122
Galarian Zigzagoon is the next one on my most valuable Shining Fate cards list. I choose this solely because of its striking art. However, it is getting popular and valuable with each sale, slowly making its way to the top 10.
Zigzagoon’s Shining card art is highly notable and striking. The card comes in with the Surprise Attack, and just to let you know, this one is tagged rare. So, you better get your hands on this one ASAP.
11. Yamper
Price: $14
Pokémon Type: Electric
Card # SV039/SV122
Released in early 2021, the Yamper Shining Fate card took the internet by its cuteness. Yamper is an electric type Pokémon. This puppy Pokémon is like a fur ball and has lightning around its tail.
Even though Yamper is more famous for herding than a battler, its Shining Fate card is popular and valuable. The Yamper Fate card has two characteristics, Basic Pokémon and holographic variation.
10. Shiny Eternatus VMAX
Price: $11-$15
Pokémon Type: Dragon & Poison
Card# SV122/SV122
Etranatus VMAX is another popular and most valuable entry on our list. The black and gold combination in printing is the spell caster and the reason for its popularity. Regrettably, the shape of this Pokémon on its VMAX card is so messed up that it doesn’t look half like the legendary Eternatus.
Shiny Eternatus VMAX comes in with the ability named Eternal Zone. Surprisingly, this ability works too well for the player’s darkness-type Pokémon and gives them an upper hand in the game. A strong ability worthy of being the reason for its higher value!
09. Shining Lapras VMAX
Price: $8-$16
Pokémon Type: Water
Card# SV111/SV122
Lapras is a strong battler in water. Lapras VMAX was initially released as part of the Sword & Shield Expansion. It was released in Japan at first and printed twice with an added shiny version. Lapras VMAX became a part of Shining Fate cards in 2021.
It is among the most valuable cards in the Shining Fate set. Lapras has come a long way from the 90s, gradually making its place in our hearts. Its water energy attacks add 30 more damage in each go.
08. Galarian Rapidash
Price: $2-$17
Pokémon Type: Psychic & Fairy
Card# SV048/SVI22
Galarian Rapisdash is a rare card so having one is genuinely your luck. It was released back in 2021. In Pokémon games, Rapidash has the ability, Pastel Veil. It is considered a solid defense as it blocks all the incoming attacks.
Being a psychic type truly adds to Rapidash’s value. His psychic attack adds 30 more damage to the opponent’s active Pokémon. Some of the played/used Galarian Rapidash cards are available for a minimum of $2.
07. Shiny Inteleon
Price: $15-$18
Pokémon Type: Water
Card# SV027/SV122
Inteleon is a water-type Pokémon and gained its popularity only after its evolution. Shinny Inteleon takes its place in the most valuable Shining Fate cards. Its current sale price equals a set of regular game cards.
This card comes in with Shady Dealings ability and a strong attack. The Aqua bullet is a rare attack that can affect the opponent’s benched Pokémon and the active one. It does a 20 damage to the opponent benched Pokémon, worthy of having for $15.
06. Marnie
Price: $30-$39
Card Type: Trainer
Card# SWSH121
This card is yet to debut in Shining Fate in the West. Marnie is a fan-favorite character, and her card made its first appearance in the Shining Star V set. Like Skyla, this one is also a full art trainer card.
Even in Shining Star V, Marnie’s card was tagged rare. It is expected that she will soon be making her debut in the Shining Fate series because her worth is increasing daily along with its popularity.
05. Skyla
Price: $33-$40
Card Type: Pokémon Trainer
Card# 72/72
Skyla’s card has its place engraved in the list among the cards with the highest prices. It comes out as one of the most beautiful trainer cards of the Shining Fate card set. The shiny Skyla Fate card is tagged as the Rare Holo EX card.
For the record, Skyla is a pilot and a Pokémon trainer that took a lot of screen time in Pokémon Black & White. Her card value increases day by day, yet you can always find a few used cards at a lower price.
04. Galarian Ponyta
Price: $20-$46
Pokémon Type: Psychic
Card# SV047/SV122
Galarian Ponyta breaks the stereotypes by taking its place in the most valuable Shining Fate cards. Typically only the final evolved form of a Pokémon has this honor. However, Ponyta is an exception as it is in its base form and still selling for a better price than the evolved versions.
Its card comes in with the Psy Bolt ability and paralyzes the opponent’s active Pokémon. It is available for $20 minimum, given that it will be used. However, the brand new one has the latest price tag of $46, much more valuable than Galarian Rapidash.
03. Drizzile
Price: $57-$60
Pokémon Type: Water
Card# SV026/SV122
For the middle form of a three-stage evolutionary Pokémon to get a Shining Fate card is a rare occurrence. If it’s selling at a better price than the final form, then it’s a miracle. Drizzle is the Pokémon crowned with these features.
Its Shining Fate card’s price is increasing with each purchase. Plus, how Drizzle is posing in a battle-ready form makes it a lot cooler than many others in their final evolved form. Drizzle Shining Fate card comes with Shady Dealings and Water Drip attack ability.
02. Shiny Suicune
Price: $128-$140
Pokémon Type: Water
Card# SV022/SV122
Legendary Pokémon are always a treat for the eyes. Their existence itself is a miracle. This reputation increases their card value as well. In other words, the Shining Fate card of a legendary Pokémon will always be highly valuable.
The Suicune Shining Fate card was only $30 when it debuted in 2021. However, now you won’t find it any less than $128, given that it is used. If you are looking for a brand new one, you better buy one ASAP.
Its card comes in with Water Splash and Aurora Loop attacks. This dog Pokémon Shining card is genuinely graceful, making it a worthy attraction.
01. Shiny Charizard VMAX
Price: $180-$210
Pokémon Type: Fire
Card# SV107/SV122
Now, it is time for the King himself. Charizard has been a fan favorite from the beginning of the series. Its popularity has even made him the King of Shining Fate cards. In the Shining Fate card set, Charizard VMAX is the most pricy one starting from $180 and increasing limitless with each purchase.
Charizard’s Shining card has the highest scores in terms of attack and ability. It comes in with Claw Clash and G-Max Wildfire attacks. G-Max Wildfire attack point starts from 300 and is one of the strongest attacks.
You cannot ignore the aesthetics and beauty of the Shining Charizard V-Max card. Plus, the grace it has makes it priceless. Pokémon card traders having this card are truly lucky.
Conclusion:
Now then, it is time to wrap up. From a poor yet cute and useless Ditto to the King of beasts himself, Charizard. I have included the ones that were hard to miss. Albeit my best effort, please let me know in the comments below if I haven’t mentioned your favorite one.
