Shiny Pokémon last shined in the Pokémon TCG as part of the Shining Fates expansion in the Sword & Shield Series, where they were included as part of the Shiny Vault without a unique rarity. In Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates, Shiny Pokémon will continue to sparkle with a set of brand-new rarity designations all their own—Shiny rare and Shiny ultra rare. You can identify Shiny rare cards by finding the sparkling star at the bottom-left corner of the card, and Shiny ultra rare cards by finding a pair of sparkling stars at the bottom-left corner of the card.
