Neo Destiny (TCG)/Information


 * This was the first (and only) set to feature TCG Light Pokémon. Light Pokémon are similar to the TCG Dark Pokémon introduced earlier in TCG Team Rocket.

 * This set completes the transition of all the TCG Unown to card form, with the exception of Unown R. Like, Unown R was a Promotional card in Japan, but was not translated by Wizards. An English Unown R did not appear until TCG EX Unseen Forces.

 * Neo Destiny was also the last set that Wizards of the Coast made that featured the TCG 1st Edition symbol, and the last English-language set to feature it overall. The use of the symbol was eliminated due to the fact that sometimes the 1st Edition run would be released after the unlimited run (thus defeating the purpose).

Pokémon that appear as dual-type  Pokémon in the games are given the TCG type corresponding to their other type as Dark Pokémon, with the examples of, a , and , which is , while single-type Dark Pokémon (at the time there was only ) do not feature as Dark Pokémon. This "rule" was later completely reversed in the EX series, where most Dark Pokémon are dual-types with their normal type.
 * Much like the TCG Team Rocket expansion, only the and  starter Pokémon of the generation became TCG Dark Pokémon. Unlike what was the case with Ivysaur and Venusaur, which later received Dark variants as promo cards, there has never been a Dark Bayleef or Dark Meganium.
