Collecting Complete Shining/Shiny Pokemon Card Database

Question, is M-Charizard-EX from flash fire #69 and #108, generations #12 not considered a shiny pokémon? I ask because it's not on your list.
No it is not. Charizard can Mega Evolve into two different version - Mega Charizard Y which looks more like an elongated regular Charizard and Mega Charizard X which changes color completely. The Shiny for Mega Charizard X is a bluish green with red wings and tips.

Nope, the black M-Charizard-EX is its regular coloring for its Mega X form - its Shiny form is a teal-ish color, which they never made a card of?

God, you're going all-out on this. I had the Unified Minds Dollar Tree pack, but I just now discovered this. Is there any lists for every Zeraora card? I'm trying to collect them all and there are none online, so I was wondering if there are any here. If there's not, then I'll just create one.

All I have from this list is the two Dubwools and Rilla VMAX from Shining Fates lol

Haha yeah Shiny Pokémon & Mew cards are my main collection goals so I gotta go crazy? I haven't seen any complete Zeraora lists, and now that I think of it I don't see like any dedicated Zeraora collectors, but it is one of my top 10 favorite Pokémon so I'd love to see your list when you do make it?

Got it, although it might be awhile, I have a lot of other stuff, and it won't be as strict. I can't get the Japanese versions, and I don't need the stamps, etc... I shall be the first Zeraora collector lol. I also might do Flygon, but I have no way of getting the old cards without paying a lot, and I have a budget due to me not having a job lol. (Don't blame me)

Moral of the story: I will make one, but I just need one copy of each english card with unique art. Sorry for the long reply lol.

What I have so far: Zeraora VMAX (Crown Zenith GG), Zeraora V AA (Chilling Reign), Zeraora (Fusion Strike), Zeraora (Crown Zenith), and Zeraora VSTAR (Crown Zenith Main).

Not very much :I

Oh nice, still that's a good start; the Alternate Art from Chilling Reign is the most expensive English one so at least you got that taken care of:cool:

It's my Holy Grail. I don't care about anything else, I would be fine if I just had that. I literally got it from the Pencil Tin thing. That and Schoolgirl FA ?

Dang that's so lucky haha it is literally my favorite card of the SWSH era, I have it in Japanese but still need it in English ?
 
What about the JP Pikachu and Mewtwo gold star cards from the 2005 Giftbox mew (JPN) tin? cards numbered 001/002 and 002/002. Maybe I just overlooked them in your mega list?

<edit> Yep - I did overlook the EX Holon Phantoms versions...</edit>

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe anyone has created a complete list of every Shiny Pokemon card, and Bulbapedia's list is criminally empty. So, because collecting Shinys is my number one priority for my own personal collection, I finally decided to create a complete checklist on Google Docs:D

You can view the Google Doc with the complete list HERE.

I've been collecting Shiny Pokemon cards ever since I pulled a Shining Magikarp from a First Edition Neo Revelation pack in 2003, and I seriously started hunting them after I pulled a Rayquaza Star from an EX Deoxys pack from my now-closed local game store. The Corocoro Shining Mew Promo is my favorite card of all time as well <3 I will be constantly updating this database every time a new Shiny Pokemon card is revealed, as well as every time I acquire one I am missing. I also update my signature with the number I currently own c:

I have explained a few things at the top of the list, including why First Editions are not counted as separate items. Obviously some people might not agree with this, but it is how I established the rules for my own collecting purposes. Also, some of the formatting might not be in place because I usually edit this at work on a different browser than I have at home, but that will all be adjusted soon.

Feel free to reference this list to see how many Shiny Pokemon cards you guys have <3

(And for those interested, I also have a complete Mew card list on Google Docs, seen HERE.)
Yes you have done a good job
 
First off thank you for this list! I initally used bulbapedia, but quickly realized there were multiple cards missing smh. Then I found your list and have been using it as a guide for my shiny card collecting/hunting. I was wondering your thoughts on Drapion V from CRZ:GG and Drapion V and Vstar from SWSH Lost Origin? I was sorting though my cards last night and noticed that the color scheme does raise my eyebrow. I mean its awfully more pinkish red than purpule is it not? Where as the Drapion V from vivid voltage is more of the purple hue...

I think that might "just" be because one is using the colors based on the Sugimori artwork which, to me, is more purple than digital stuff, such as Home or Legends Arceus models. It seems that the move from 2D to 3D desaturated a lot of the red on the Shiny, making it a bit harder to distinguish between the regular Drapion. I can see why one would think they could be Shiny, especially when comparing the Vivid Voltage vs Lost Origin, but to me at least, it still looks more pinkish/purple than red in the newer cards
 
Made an account just to say: Thank you for making this list! I've tried several times on several apps, but I am excited to just have it all filled out on a Google sheet where I can add and format things the way I'd like. Thank you!

EDIT: I've taken the info and turned it into a Google Sheets that you can check off the ones you've got, and it will also automatically update the numbers of how many you've gotten! This link will let you make a copy onto your own Google account :) Thanks again for putting this all together in the first place!

Sorry for my super late reply haha but thank you <3

This Drapion thing is actually kinda crazy because of how close to its Shiny they are, especially on Crown Zenith's Galarian Gallery card, and a similar coloring can be seen in Stormfront and later in Furious Fists - Comparing the sprites/models of all the respective eras, it almost feels like they're colored somewhere between the regular & Shiny colorings, since the Shiny appears more dark red/maroon than the pinkish-red/magenta on all those cards you mentioned - Again I'd say the closest is the Crown Zenith one, but still not fully matching its Shiny colors

Aw thanks so much <3 That's actually sick that you converted it to a sheet, it's really helpful to be able to check them off :D
 
Made a huge update to the Shiny card list - In light of recent Asia Gym stamped promos of Radiant Charizard & Radiant Greninja surfacing, I've decided to move all World Championship/Prize Pack/Tournament Stamped/Jumbo cards to an "Extra Variants" section, which reduced the "complete set" from 594 to 547 - Basically I'm just counting unique artworks as what I want for the complete Shiny set in my eyes, and I can always add all those pesky (coughlazycough) stamped promos later on if I can afford them lolllll
 
I know they’re not shiny but, I think the drapion from furious fist is close to the shiny version and it’s cool that it’s almost wavering from normal to shiny like the delta species omanyte. It’s psychic type and purple like how they did delta species Gyarados, mew and zard. What do you think of Raihan and his rotom phone it’s red?
