*The name ''Destiny'' is used as the set title in reference to the Light and Dark Pokémon, in that a Pokémon's destiny is determined by how they are treated by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}. | *The name ''Destiny'' is used as the set title in reference to the Light and Dark Pokémon, in that a Pokémon's destiny is determined by how they are treated by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}. | ||
*This set completes the transition of all the {{TCG|Unown}} to card form, with the exception of Unown R. Like {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Unown J|38}}, Unown R was a Promotional card in Japan, but was not translated by Wizards. An Unown R did not appear in English until '''''{{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}}'''''. | *This set completes the transition of all the {{TCG|Unown}} to card form, with the exception of Unown R.

*Each of the shining Pokémon released in this set is of a different {{TCG|type}}; the only one not represented is {{TCG|Water}}, which is represented by the two shining Pokémon released in the previous set. | *Each of the shining Pokémon released in this set is of a different {{TCG|type}}; the only one not represented is {{TCG|Water}}, which is represented by the two shining Pokémon released in the previous set. | ||
*Neo Destiny was also the last set that [[Wizards of the Coast]] made that featured the {{TCG|1st Edition}} symbol and the last English-language set to feature it overall. The use of the symbol was eliminated due to the fact that sometimes the 1st Edition run would be released after the unlimited run, thus defeating its purpose. | *'''''Neo Destiny''''' was also the last set that [[Wizards of the Coast]] made that featured the {{TCG|1st Edition}} symbol and the last English-language set to feature it overall.

*No {{ct|Darkness}} Pokémon are released as {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}. Pokémon that appear as dual-type {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the games are given the TCG type corresponding to their other type as Dark Pokémon, with the examples of {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Houndoom|7}}, a {{ct|Fire}}, and {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Tyranitar|11}}, which is {{ct|Fighting}}, while single-type Dark Pokémon (at the time there was only {{p|Umbreon}}) do not feature as Dark Pokémon. This "rule" was later completely reversed in the ''EX'' series, where ''most'' Dark Pokémon are dual-types with their normal type. | *No {{ct|Darkness}} Pokémon are released as {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.

*Much like the '''''{{TCG|Team Rocket}}''''' expansion, only the {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon of the generation became {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}. Unlike the case with Ivysaur and Venusaur, which later received Dark variants as promo cards, there has never been a Dark Bayleef or Dark Meganium. | *Much like the '''''{{TCG|Team Rocket}}''''' expansion, only the {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon of the generation became {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
