07Why Collectors Want It

A 'Shining' card — Neo Destiny's alternate-color holo rarity, secret-numbered #109/105.
Mewtwo's icon status makes its Shining one of the most sought cards of the set.
1st Edition is the top variant, carrying the stamp vintage collectors prize.
1st Edition verified ~$1,353 raw, PSA 10 ~$23,675; Unlimited ~$590 raw / PSA 10 ~$9,349 (PriceCharting, May 2026).
WotC holo foil and centering make gem-mint Shinings scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Mewtwo with 70 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Reflect Shield Cost: Psychic + Lightning

If an attack does damage to Shining Mewtwo during your opponent's next turn (even if Shining Mewtwo is Knocked Out), flip a coin. If heads, prevent all damage done to Shining Mewtwo from that attack (any other effects of attacks still happen) and do 20 damage to the attacking Pokémon.

Psyburst Cost: Psychic + Psychic + Fire · 40+ damage

Discard a Fire Energy card attached to Shining Mewtwo or this attack does nothing. This attack does 40 damage plus 10 damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: 1st Edition PSA 10 ~$23,675 against ~$1,353 raw; Unlimited PSA 10 ~$9,349 against ~$590 raw (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Shining holos carry the era's signature foil scratching; 1st Edition gem mints are the scarce premium tier.

Other graders: PSA leads resale on WotC-era Shinings; BGS and CGC examples trade at a discount to an equivalent PSA 10.
