Me too! It’s without doubt one of the best Pokémon cards ever made & doesn’t seem to get talked about nearly as much as it deserves. ---

You definitely do! I finally got a PSA 9 copy a couple of months ago & it’s one of the highlights of my collection. 😄 ---

This made me realise that I only own one of these and now I’m sad. I felt that none deserve D Tier but I’m biased towards older cards. ![my-image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/d/0/d03c5ab0dfcb5ba292bda89ad70cbfb79647e64c.jpeg) ---

Gyarados is incredible and I am a huge fan of Tyranitar, but beyond that the holo pattern washes out the artwork a lot and it’s challenging to fully appreciate. However, Shining Mew is incredible. I never fully appreciated it until I had one in hand. The gold stars are my favorite ultra-rare set, but I tried to be harsh on them and rank them amongst themselves. Charizard and Rayquaza are so iconic and awesome they’re automatically S rank. I put Umbreon in A, but if we’re talking the Japanese version then I’d bump it up to S. Crystals are the set I’m probably least attached to, but I still really like them. Ho-Oh is my favorite. Lugia and Celebi have amazing artwork, but the rest are kinda just generally good in my opinion. ---

The only huge outlier in my ranking here, is Shining kabutops. Severely underrated art, that I will die defending. Also, I’m just not that big a fan of crystal types. I think some are great, but mostly, not. Gold stars? A bit better. With my chase cards, I want a dynamic illustration staring back at me. Challenging me not to use it in a deck, or NOT to chase the card. I tried to base this solely off how the card makes me feel when I look at it. ![set grail tiers](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/9/4/946840b8bfaa60675336df32caf19c082bc25a3b.jpeg) ---

Severely underrated art, that I will die defending. Right there with you on this! I’d go as far as to say it’s the only good Neo Destiny Shining artwork (though Mewtwo goes hard, even with the boring pose). It’s great to see practically every list so far is a good mixture of cards across all the sets, and not just a stream of Ray GS appreciation. ---
