Get ready, Pokémon fans! The highly anticipated Mega Evolution expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to introduce a fresh rarity that’s sure to excite collectors and players alike.
Dubbed the ‘Mega Ultra Rare’ or “MUR,” this new rarity was recently unveiled with the launch of Japan’s Pokémon Mega Brave and Pokémon Mega Symphonia sets. Released this week, these collections mark the beginning of a new era in the Pokémon TCG universe.
Themed around Mega Pokémon—as they gear up to return in the upcoming Pokémon Legends Z-A—these sets are slated for an English release later this year as part of the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution lineup. The buzz among fans is palpable, especially as many are already diving into the newly minted packs.
Upon opening, players have discovered something remarkable: each set boasts an exclusive gold card, crafted with unique artwork that’s not a mere rehash of existing designs. The featured Mega Lucario and Mega Gardevoir will be showcased as the first to receive this coveted ‘MUR’ card.
These stunning gold cards are creating a wave of excitement, hinting at a dramatic shift in card design and collectibility within the Pokémon TCG sphere. Rather than being clones of other cards in their respective sets, the new art promises to elevate the visual appeal and uniqueness of these cards.
The Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution set is expected to hit the shelves on September 26, and it has already stirred up considerable excitement online. Pre-orders at The Pokémon Center sold out in record time, highlighting the demand and enthusiasm surrounding this fresh chapter following the end of the Scarlet and Violet era.
