The Genetic Pokémon in Green
Shining Mewtwo transforms the iconic psychic powerhouse with a pale green coloration that gives it an even more alien, experimental feel — fitting for a genetically engineered Pokémon. Yoshida's artwork shows Mewtwo in a powerful, floating pose, psychic energy radiating outward.
Mewtwo's cultural cachet — the original movie villain, the most powerful Pokémon of Gen I, the Smash Bros. fighter — ensures that any premium Mewtwo card commands strong demand. The Shining version sits alongside Gold Star Mewtwo as one of the two most prestigious vintage Mewtwo cards.
At $7,500 for a 1st Edition PSA 10, Shining Mewtwo occupies the mid-to-upper tier of the lineup — more expensive than most Shinings but well below Charizard and Tyranitar. It represents a sweet spot of prestige and accessibility.
