Neo Destiny (Japanese: 闇、そして光へ... Darkness, and to Light...) is an Expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It is the fourth and final expansion in the "Neo" series of cards, and much like the fourth expansion in the previous generation's main series, features corrupted Pokémon. This time, however, a counterpart appears.

Trivia
- This is one of only two expansions to feature the exact same cards in both English and Japanese editions, when Wizards of the Coast's non-holo versions of holo cards are not counted. The other was the Base Set.
- This was the first (and only) set to feature Light Pokémon. Light Pokémon are similar to the Dark Pokémon introduced earlier in Team Rocket.
- The name "Destiny" is used as the set title in reference to the Light and Dark Pokémon, in that a Pokémon's destiny is determined by how they are treated by their Trainer.
- This set completes the transition of all the Unown to card form, with the exception of Unown R. Like Unown J, Unown R was a Promotional card in Japan, but was not translated by Wizards. An English Unown R did not appear until EX Unseen Forces.
- Shining Pokémon once again featured in this set - 8 as opposed to 2 in Neo Revelation. Unlike their predecessors, these cards got a rather interesting foil treatment; the backgrounds remained non-holographic while the Pokémon themselves were given a metallic look.
- Each of the shining Pokémon released in this set is of a different type; the only one not represented is Water, which is represented by the two shining Pokémon released in the previous set.
- Neo Destiny was also the last set that Wizards of the Coast made that featured the 1st Edition symbol. 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), and the secondary market wasn't affected by them any longer.
- No Darkness-type Pokémon are released as Dark Pokémon. Pokémon that appear as dual-typed Template:Type2 Pokémon in the games are given the TCG type corresponding to their other type as Dark Pokémon, with the examples of Dark Houndoom, a Fire-type, and Dark Tyranitar, which is Fighting-type, while single-type Dark Pokémon (at the time there was only Umbreon) do not feature as Dark Pokémon. This "rule" was later completely reversed in the EX series, where most Dark Pokémon are dual-typed with their normal type.
