Neo Destiny (Japanese: ? ) is the name given to the eleventh expansion of new cards and Theme Decks for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It is the last of the "Neo" series.

Set size

105/113 in the US, 112 in Japan. Officially there were 105 cards in the set done by Wizards of the Coast. However the addition of 8 unlisted "medium-rare" cards upped the set size to 113 cards. The Japanese set only had 112.

Sequence

11th set in North America, 11th set in Japan.

Miscellaneous

  • This was the first (and only) set that contained Light Pokémon. Light Pokémon are similar to the Dark Pokémon introduced earlier in Team Rocket.
  • The Japanese version of Neo Destiny was called "Neo 4: Darkness to Light".
  • Shining Pokémon also make their debut in Neo Destiny, with 8 of them found in this set. This marked the first time Wizards produced a ultra-rare card for a card set (officially "medium-rare"). These cards also got a rather interesting holo treatement; the backgrounds remained nonholo while the Pokémon themselves were given a metallic look.
  • Destiny was also the last set that Wizards made that used the 1st Edition symbol. The use of the symbol was elimited for a few reasons; sometimes 1st Edition cards would be released after the other printings (thus defeating the purpose), and the secondary market wasn't affected by them any longer.

Theme Decks

Light and Dark.
