Shining Fates was never a numbered mainline expansion — it’s a set built around a 122-card Shiny Vault alongside a 73-card main list, sold only inside special products, that pulls its best cards from a much larger Japanese release. The English set runs 195 cards (73 main cards plus the Shiny Vault) and came out on February 19, 2021. Its Japanese source is S4a Shiny Star V, a 하이클래스팩 that released three months earlier, on November 20, 2020, and runs to 326 entries on Limitless’s card database.
If you’re chasing a specific Shining Fates card and want to know what it looks like — and what it costs — in its original Japanese printing, this is the cross-reference. It covers eight Shining Fates chase cards plus four Shiny Star V chases that never got a Shining Fates print, matched to their Shiny Star V numbers, rarities and illustrators using our own PSA 10 listings and Limitless’s English and Japanese card databases as the source. For the full 195-card English breakdown, see our Shining Fates Japanese card list.
Shining Fates draws its shinies from Japan’s S4a Shiny Star V (November 20, 2020, 326 entries on Limitless). Our Charizard VMAX (S4a 308/190, SSR) (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청) PSA 10 is currently listed at ¥39,800 (~$250) — the Shining Fates-linked chase card we currently list graded. Several Japanese SSRs, including Charizard V and Crobat VMAX, never got a Shining Fates counterpart at all. The sealed S4a Shiny Star V booster box is currently listed at ¥20,776 (~$131).
Prices below are our own listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD. We do not quote third-party market prices — TCGplayer, eBay or PriceCharting — anywhere in this article.
How We Ranked These
We ranked this list the same way we rank every chase-card guide on this site. Cards we currently list as PSA 10 graded singles come first, ordered by our listed price. Everything else follows in order of Japanese rarity tier — SSR before SR, matching how Shiny Star V itself is structured.
Charizard VMAX is the Shining Fates-linked card that clears the first bar — it’s the one currently listed as a PSA 10 on our site. The remaining eleven are ordered by where Shiny Star V places them — the SSR block (Limitless numbers 304–326) ahead of the SR block (191–199). We are not using pull rates, third-party market prices, or popularity claims to rank anything here — just our current PSA 10 listings and how Limitless categorises the rest.
The Top 12 Shining Fates Chase Cards
1. Charizard VMAX (Shiny) — Shining Fates SV107
Japanese equivalent: リザードンVMAX, S4a 308/190 (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청), SSR, illustrated by aky CG Works — the same illustrator credited on the Shining Fates SV107 print. It’s the set’s headline shiny in both languages. Our PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥39,800 (~$250) (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청).
2. Charizard V (Shiny) — not part of the Shining Fates checklist
Japanese card: リザードンV, S4a 307/190 (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청), SSR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. This is Shiny Star V’s other Charizard SSR, and it simply isn’t part of the Shining Fates checklist — there’s no English counterpart to point to. It sells for a similar price bracket to the VMAX in Japan, and it’s a card we source rather than hold graded; see our Charizard V SSR (307/190) card guide for a full breakdown, or reach us via 빠른 주문.
3. Crobat VMAX (Shiny) — not part of the Shining Fates checklist
Japanese card: クロバットVMAX, S4a 320/190, SSR, illustrated by PLANETA Tsuji. Like Charizard V, this SSR never made it into Shining Fates — the English set simply skipped it. Sourcing via Quick Order.
4. Dragapult VMAX (Shiny) — not part of the Shining Fates checklist
Japanese card: ドラパルトVMAX, S4a 318/190, SSR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Another SSR that stayed Japan-only — there’s no Shining Fates print of this Dragapult. Sourcing via Quick Order.
5. Grimmsnarl VMAX (Shiny) — Shining Fates SV117
Japanese card: オーロンゲVMAX, S4a 322/190, SSR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Listed on Limitless as Shining Fates SV117. Sourcing via Quick Order.
6. Ditto VMAX (Shiny) — Shining Fates SV119
Japanese card: メタモンVMAX, S4a 324/190 (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청), SSR, illustrated by PLANETA Tsuji. Listed on Limitless as Shining Fates SV119. Sourcing via Quick Order.
7. Lapras VMAX (Shiny) — Shining Fates SV111
Japanese card: ラプラスVMAX, S4a 312/190, SSR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Listed on Limitless as Shining Fates SV111. Sourcing via Quick Order.
8. Toxtricity VMAX (Shiny) — Shining Fates SV113
Japanese card: ストリンダーVMAX, S4a 315/190, SSR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Listed on Limitless as Shining Fates SV113. Sourcing via Quick Order.
9. Rillaboom VMAX (Shiny) — Shining Fates SV106
Japanese card: ゴリランダーVMAX, S4a 305/190, SSR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Listed on Limitless as Shining Fates SV106. Sourcing via Quick Order.
10. Centiskorch VMAX (Shiny) — Shining Fates SV109
Japanese card: マルヤクデVMAX, S4a 310/190, SSR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Listed on Limitless as Shining Fates SV109. We’ve covered this card in more depth in our Centiskorch V/VMAX Japanese cards guide. Sourcing via Quick Order.
11. Marnie (Full Art) — not part of the Shining Fates checklist
Japanese card: マリィ, S4a 198/190 (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청), SR, illustrated by Naoki Saito. Shiny Star V’s Marnie full art has no Shining Fates print — it’s a Japan-only SR trainer card. Sourcing via Quick Order.
12. Rose (Full Art) — Shining Fates 71
Japanese card: ローズ, S4a 199/190, SR, illustrated by Megumi Mizutani — the same illustrator credited on the Shining Fates 71 print, so the artwork matches between the two languages. Sourcing via Quick Order.
Also worth knowing: Poké Kid (Shining Fates 70) matches ポケモンごっこ at S4a 197/190 SR, again with matching artwork by Sanosuke Sakuma. Skyla (Shining Fates 72) name-matches フウロ at S4a 195/190 SR on both card lists. The set’s three Amazing Rares — Reshiram (S4a 021, Shining Fates 17), Kyogre (S4a 036, Shining Fates 21) and Yveltal (S4a 117, Shining Fates 46) — sit outside this top 12 but round out the shared checklist between the two languages.

자주 묻는 질문
What is Shining Fates, and what Japanese set is it based on?
Shining Fates is an English-only, 195-card shiny spinoff set (73 main cards plus a 122-card Shiny Vault) released February 19, 2021, sold only inside special products rather than as a standalone booster set. Its shinies are drawn from Japan’s S4a Shiny Star V, a 326-entry 하이클래스팩 released November 20, 2020.
Why don’t cards like Charizard V and Crobat VMAX from Shiny Star V appear in Shining Fates?
Shining Fates is a smaller, curated set and doesn’t carry over every Shiny Star V SSR. Charizard V, Crobat VMAX, Dragapult VMAX and the Marnie full art all stayed Japan-only — there’s no Shining Fates equivalent for any of them.
Is the Shining Fates Charizard VMAX the same card as Japan’s リザードンVMAX?
Yes — Shining Fates SV107 and Japanese S4a 308/190 (SSR) are illustrated by the same artist, aky CG Works, making them the direct English/Japanese counterpart of each other.
What do the S and SSR rarity marks mean in Shiny Star V?
S and SSR are Shiny Star V’s own printed rarity abbreviations for its shiny-card tiers, sitting above the set’s Secret Rare (SR) block. On Limitless’s Japanese S4a list, Secret Rares run 191–199, the S tier runs 200–303, and the SSR tier runs 304–326.
What does “baby shiny” mean?
It’s a community term, not an official Pokémon TCG rarity, used for shiny basic or unevolved Pokémon in Shiny Star V and Shining Fates.
Where can I buy the Japanese Shiny Star V booster box?
We list sealed S4a Shiny Star V booster boxes, shipped from Tokyo with tracked delivery, currently at ¥20,776 (~$131). For graded singles or specific cards, use our Quick Order page to request a quote.
