Sure thing! Here’s my take on it:

Okay, bear with me ’cause I’m about to dive into this whole Pokémon TCG thing. So, there’s this Celestial Guardians set—a name that feels like it should come with its own cosmic soundtrack or something—and it’s all about Gen 7 critters. No shiny cards here, though. Not in this round. And I guess it makes sense. This set’s all about Alola, that sunny place where you half expect to see a Pikachu sipping coconut water on the beach. If shiny cards popped up, they’d totally steal the show. Imagine bringing a flashy party crasher to a garden picnic. Kinda the same vibe.
Now, here’s the twisty part: Will shiny cards bounce back? Probably. But also, who knows. They were a huge hit in the Shining Revelry set—kinda like everyone right now is vibing with retro fashion. Pokémon TCG bumped up sales like nobody’s business, and people love hunting for those sparkly gems in the games too. That allure’s hard to shake off, ya know?
Back to Celestial Guardians, focusing on those Gen 7 folks makes sense. Gen 7 never really got its spotlight moment. So, shiny stuff can take a backseat, at least for now. Let’s see Alola’s tropical lineup shine.
The whole shiny situation is kinda layered. Yeah, they’ll probably be back, but not every single set needs them. Short-term popularity? For sure. But, like too much pizza, you don’t want them all the time. Burnout is real. Remember Paldean Fates? Fewer shinies kept the excitement alive. Might be the same play here—they’ll space out these sparkly bits.
Now, betting against shiny cards making a comeback would be like saying people are done with avocado toast. Highly unlikely. Shiny Pokémon have this universal appeal—like a song everyone secretly jams to. Think shiny Pikachu or that iconic shiny Gyarados. Big sellers, right? There’s always room for more sparkle.
Moral of the story: Shiny cards are like a comet—might not see ’em every day, but when they do streak by, they’re unforgettable. Timing’s anyone’s guess. Could pop up in a set sooner than expected or maybe later. The waiting game continues. But mark my words, they’ll be back. Just, when? It’s a cliffhanger ride.
Anyway, fingers crossed it’ll be soon. Or not. Depends on how ready you are for the next shiny hunting spree.
