What it does
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.
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.
You can't have more than 1 Shining Mewtwo in your deck.
It uses its highly developed psychic powers to defeat its enemies before they even have time to think.

Where it came from
Released in 2002 as part of the Neo Destiny expansion, the Shining Mewtwo was one of the most anticipated cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game at the time. It represented the conclusion of the Johto-era sets, introducing the 'Shining' variant, which featured a unique holographic treatment on the Pokémon itself rather than the background. This design choice was intended to emphasize the rarity and allure of Shiny Pokémon, a mechanic recently introduced in the Gold and Silver video games, distinguishing them from standard cards in the set.
The artwork was illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida, who utilized a bold, textured style to make the character stand out from the traditional flat illustrations of the era. By placing the card at the tail end of the set as a secret rare, the developers successfully created a sense of prestige that resonated with players and collectors. Upon its release, it was lauded for its distinct aesthetic and challenging pull rate, cementing its status as an iconic piece of early 2000s card game history.
