Radiant Pokémon (TCG)
Radiant Pokémon (Japanese: かがやくポケモン Sparkling Pokémon) are a subgroup of Shiny Pokémon.[1] They are depicted as a group of Pokémon cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and were introduced in the Astral Radiance expansion. Radiant Pokémon cards feature an exclusive foiling style. These Pokémon have powerful attacks and Abilities and are always Basic Pokémon regardless of if the species is the evolution of a different species. Their names use "Radiant" as a prefix. For example, a Radiant Pokémon card depicting Charjabug is named "Radiant Charjabug".
Radiant Pokémon have the Radiant Pokémon rule, printed in a Rule Box below their artwork. It says that players cannot have more than one Radiant Pokémon card in their deck. However, the "Radiant" naming is part of the card's name, so one player can have, for example, 4 Gardevoir cards and 1 Radiant Gardevoir card in the same deck.
Radiant Pokémon do not have Pokédex information printed on their cards, precluding their use in the occasional card that that needs data such as their height.
