SM3+: Shining Legends is a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion from the Sun & Moon era, released on July 15, 2017 under the set code SM3+. It catalogs 82 printings, a compact run built around the Shining rarity, which Japanese collectors know as a tier of Pokémon with special foil treatment. The headline cards are Shining Lugia, Shining Arceus and Shining Rayquaza, and the set also repeats GX Pokémon across several treatments, with Mewtwo GX printed four times and Entei GX, Raichu GX and Zoroark GX three times each.
The Shining Legends card list is built around chase cards, with 22 in the chase tier spread across Shining, Super Rare, Double Rare and Hyper Rare, the latter two being the GX-level treatments. Shining Lugia leads the most valuable cards, followed by Shining Arceus, Shining Rayquaza, Shining Celebi and Shining Jirachi, all in the Shining rarity. Zoroark GX is the first non-Shining card, in sixth place as a Super Rare. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards hold 63 percent of the set's total card value, so the Shining cards define what this release is worth.
As of October 2026, SM3+: Shining Legends holds the 14th highest total card value of the 36 comparable Sun & Moon sets, about 1.6 times the era median, and 88th among the 189 sets in the Japanese Pokémon TCG. Its single most valuable card ranks 11th in the era, and it sits 25th for trading volume. It followed SM3N: Darkness that Consumes Light, which holds less total value, and came before SM4S: Awakened Heroes, which also holds less. Its cards reached English players in Shining Legends, 2 months later, with 69 shared cards.

Completing SM3+: Shining Legends means chasing 82 catalog printings, of which 58 are priced. Because the top five cards carry 63 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of a full run is set mostly by the Shining Pokémon, while the many commons and uncommons add little. The set's sealed line includes a booster box and a booster pack, the usual route to the Shining and GX pulls that drive value.
