	Games - Neo Destiny

Neo Destiny is the twelfth set of cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It comes after Neo Revelation and before Legendary Collection. Its symbol is a blue sparkle above a white sparkle, possibly referring to the Dark and Light Pokémon within this set. The Neo part of its name is Latin for "new," since this set features Pokémon considered new during its release. The Destiny part implies this set is beyond prophecy--that is, beyond Neo Revelation.

This set is the second set with an emphasis on Dark Pokémon, though unlike its predecessor, Team Rocket, these Dark Pokémon don't seem to have any influences. In this set and only this set, they are counterbalanced by Light Pokémon. Whereas Dark Pokémon have low Hit Points (health) and do a lot of damage, Light Pokémon have high Hit Points and have attacks and other abilities that revolve around support, such as healing damage.

Perhaps the reason why Light Pokémon have not seen an appearance after this set is because many of its moves benefit the user and the opponent equally, thus requiring the user to set the situation up for maximum gain while preventing the opponent from doing so. Also, Light Pokémon do not normally inflict much damage, a disadvantage in a game whose objective is to cause as much damage as possible. However, a counterpart to Dark Pokémon known as Delta Pokémon has recently been introduced and could be a descendant of Light Pokémon.

This set completes the Unown alphabet started in Neo Discovery with twelve letters: C, G, H, L, P, Q, S, T, V, W, X, and Z. (Unown "J" was released between sets.) This set is also the last to be owned by Wizards of the Coast and is the first since the Base Set to have not have identical "Holographic Rare" cards and "Rare" cards in its English version.
