Shining Legends is a compact English-language Pokémon TCG expansion from the Sun & Moon era, with an official count of 73 cards and 5 secret cards numbered above it, for 78 printings in all. It carries the set code SLG and was released on October 6, 2017. The release date places it between Burning Shadows and Crimson Invasion. Mewtwo GX is the name the set leans on most, printed four times, with Entei GX appearing three times, and the card list tilts toward Psychic, Darkness, Fire and Water Pokémon.

Shining Legends is part of the Sun & Moon era.
17 cards in Shining Legends sit at one of its hit rarities. See this set's hits page for the full breakdown by rarity.
The rarity ladder in Shining Legends runs from commons, uncommons and rares up to 12 Ultra Rares and 5 Secret Rares, which sit above the printed 73 and make up the 17 chase-tier cards. The most valuable card is the Secret Rare Mewtwo GX illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, followed by the Ultra Rare Shining Mew, the Ultra Rare Shining Rayquaza and a second Secret Rare Mewtwo GX by 5ban Graphics. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards hold 84 percent of the set's total card value, so the rest of the card list matters little to the market.
As of October 2026, Shining Legends ranks 9th by total card value among the 16 comparable Sun & Moon sets, and its total sits about equal to the era median. Its single most valuable card ranks 3rd in the era, and its trading activity ranks 6th. At 73 printed cards it is smaller than the era median of 148. Across the whole game it ranks 78th of 130 sets by total value. Burning Shadows, the set before it, holds more total value, while Crimson Invasion, the set after it, holds less. Its cards first appeared in the Japanese set SM3+: Shining Legends, released July 15, 2017.

A complete Shining Legends run is 78 printings, and all 78 are priced. Because 84 percent of the set's total card value sits in five cards, the cost of finishing the run depends on that handful of Secret and Ultra Rares rather than on the 73 printed cards beneath them, most of which are commons, uncommons and rares.
