The highest rarity tiers 6 cards
These are the 6 cards carrying the two highest rarity marks in the set. This is a statement about rarity marks, not about market value — nothing on this page prices a single card. Each one links to its full entry on the 2025 page.
Full checklist all 92 cards
One row per card, in printed number order. Card numbers link to the card's full entry — artwork, HP, attacks and the reading of the Japanese text — on the 2025 Japanese edition page. Rows shaded below are the 29 secret cards.

85 of the 92 Japanese cards are matched to an English card by set and number in our records. The Japanese set carries 96 fewer cards than the English one, and neither is a translation of the other: the English set keeps its own numbering, and the English wording is taken from the English printing.
Our records match no English card to these 7:
- Iron X Defense アイアンディフェンダー (057/063, U)
- Fight Gong ファイトゴング (059/063, U)
- Lt. Surge’s Deal マチスの取引 (061/063, U)
- Dangerous Ruins 危ない廃墟 (063/063, U)
- Fight Gong ファイトゴング (082/063, SR)
- Lt. Surge’s Deal マチスの取引 (085/063, SR)
- Lt. Surge’s Deal マチスの取引 (090/063, SAR)
That is a statement about our data, not proof that no English printing exists.
Sources and scope
Packaging, price and pack contents: 拡張パック「メガブレイブ」 — pokemon-card.com/products (official product index).
Card list, numbering, rarity marks, types, stages and illustrator credits: read from the almanac's card records for this set, one record per card. Nothing on this page is typed by hand; the counts are recomputed from those records each time the page is built.
Where a card also exists in English: the English printing supplies the wording of the English name. The Japanese line stays as printed on the Japanese card and is not machine-translated.
Not on this page, on purpose: a generation label, a current market price, a stock status, or a number of packs per box where the official page does not state one. Those are left out rather than estimated.
