Where Shining Fates' secret rares begin
Secret rares sit past the printed total of 72, so in Shining Fates they run #73 to #73 — 1 cards, the hardest pulls and most of the set's value. By tier that's 9 Rare Ultras, 8 Rare Holo Vs, 7 Rare Holos and 6 Rare Holo VMAXs.
The Shining Fates secret rares everyone wants
The rarest is Alcremie VMAX (#73), a Rare Rainbow. The priciest by market value is Skyla (#72) at about $12.00 — so the scarcest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.

- Alcremie V (#64) — Rare Ultra (~$6.77)

Finishing the Shining Fates secret-rare run
Landing all 1 is the hard part of completing Shining Fates; they push the full checklist to 73 cards and a master set to 119. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 1-card band, so even a near-complete Shining Fates binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
