Collector Insights

Shining Mew is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 30 HP. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Shining Legends set, which was released on October 6, 2017. The card is numbered 40 and has a rarity of Rare Shining. Artist Sanosuke Sakuma designed the artwork. The flavor text suggests Mew’s versatility in moves has led scientists to theorize it as a potential ancestor of Pokémon. Shining Mew has two attacks: "Legendary Guidance" and "Beam." The "Legendary Guidance" attack costs one Psychic energy, allowing the player to search their deck for up to two Energy cards to attach to their Pokémon before shuffling their deck. The "Beam" attack also costs one Psychic energy and deals 10 damage. The card has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its retreat cost is zero, making it easy to deploy in battles.

Because it can use all kinds of moves, many scientists believe Mew to be the ancestor of Pokémon.
