How many cards are in Neo Destiny?
Neo Destiny has 113 cards: 16 holo rares at numbers 1–16, 19 rares, 37 uncommons and 33 commons, plus eight Shining secret rares at 106–113. It released in English on February 28, 2002.
Does Neo Destiny have a 1st Edition?
Yes — and it is the last WotC set that does. The Edition 1 stamp ended here; Legendary Collection and every set after it shipped without one.
What are the Shining cards in Neo Destiny?
Eight secret rares at 106–113: Shining Celebi, Charizard, Kabutops, Mewtwo, Noctowl, Raichu, Steelix and Tyranitar. They are the reason the set is expensive — Shining Charizard is the most valuable card of the entire Neo era.
What is a Light Pokémon?
The Light cards are Neo Destiny’s answer to Team Rocket’s Dark Pokémon — the same species “purified”, with different attacks and artwork. They are ordinary set cards, not secrets, and only exist in this set.
Is there a Shadowless Neo Destiny?
No. Shadowless is Base Set only.
Does Neo Destiny have reverse holos?
No. Reverse holos begin with Legendary Collection, three months later.
How do I tell a 1st Edition Neo Destiny card?
The Edition 1 stamp outside the lower-left of the illustration box, plus the Neo Destiny set symbol beside the card number. On this set the stamp is worth checking twice, because it is the last one Wizards printed.
