As mentioned for the latest (mini) expansion or Themed Booster Pack for the TCGP game, Shiny Pokémon are now present in the cards within the game by way of its addition. Anyone who has dealt with them in other Pokémon games know that they're something to behold, and the same is true for them in this game as well. Yet like other games, here they also have unique aspects (novelties) that are also appropriate to be detailed on their own.
It is known that no matter the game, Shiny Pokémon tend to be exceptionally rare, and the same is true for their appearance in TCGP. So rare, in fact, that in this game, the Pokémon that correspond to the cards are assigned rarities of their own levels, being either one or two Shiny Stars; they are placed between the Star and Crown rarity tiers. These rarities are likely here to stay, as does the Pokémon for which Shiny is now available here.
Presently, only 14 Pokémon have received the Shiny treatment, comprised of several species families, although technically some of these families are composed of only one member. Some of these are mainstays from the first generation, while others are some of the most recently discovered Pokémon, and yet others are species with whom many Trainers definitely resonate with in body and soul. But that's certainly for them to discover.
Other than being characteristically of the gleaming and rare sort, there really is nothing that differentiates them from being used like regular Pokémon - much like how Shiny forms are in general. Of course, it does help if one has the complete Shiny family for posterity and other necessities (of the showing off kind), but otherwise they are still "nice-to-have" rather than "need-to-have" cards for battle and collection purposes.
"Masterfully captivating" can be a valid description for Shiny Pokémon wherever they are concerned, and in the present case of the TCGP game, they cam be considered very much that in card form. Again, a good bit of luck may just be necessary to be able to obtain them, as with Shiny Pokémon in other games, but that contributes to the fascination that some may have for them, which continue as they are obtained here.
