What does a shiny Pokemon card mean when playing?
When you're playing the Pokemon TCG, pulling out a shiny Pokemon card is like hitting a mini jackpot! These cards are a variant of the regular ones but with much cooler, reflective, or holographic artwork. Not only do they look awesome, but they’re also more valuable and collectible due to their rarity. However, in terms of gameplay, they function just like their regular counterparts, so having a shiny doesn't give you a gameplay advantage, but it sure does add style to your deck!

Shiny Pokemon cards are just regular cards in a snazzy outfit. They don’t have special powers or anything. But they sure do make your deck look fancy!
Honestly, shiny cards are overrated. They’re just for show and don't affect gameplay. But hey, if flexing is your thing, go for it.
