Provenance

Where it came from

The Shining Mew card was released in 2017 as part of the Shining Legends special expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for reintroducing the 'Shining' card mechanic, a concept that originated in the Neo Destiny expansion years prior, which featured rare, differently colored versions of Pokémon. The decision to bring back these elusive variants was intended to evoke a sense of nostalgia among long-term collectors while celebrating the game's anniversary period.

The card features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, a legendary illustrator in the Pokémon franchise known for his iconic designs dating back to the original Base Set. Arita’s approach for this card emphasized a ethereal, flowing composition that distinguishes the Shining Mew from standard psychic-type cards. Upon release, it was highly sought after by players and collectors alike due to the rarity of its pull rate and the enduring popularity of the Mew character, solidifying its place as a standout card within the Shining Legends set.
