Abyss Eye

The centrepiece of Abyss Eye. Akira Egawa's Mega Darkrai ex SAR is the first Mega evolution treatment for the Pitch-Black Pokémon — the nightmare legendary that defined the Gen IV mythical roster. The illustration renders Mega Darkrai in near-absolute black with pale crescent and blue-void energy effects, described by collectors as "eldritch horror done right." As the headline SAR of a Mega set by one of the era's most celebrated artists, it follows the high-price trajectory of Mega Gengar ex and Mega Charizard X ex. EN pricing being established post-July release.

The MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) is a new rarity designation introduced in Abyss Eye — a gold-foil treatment distinct from both the SAR and the UR gold stamp seen in earlier sets. The Mega Darkrai MUR (118/081) is the highest-numbered and rarest card in the set, pairing the gold foil surface with Mega Darkrai's void-black palette for a striking visual contrast. For collectors who tracked the ME2 MHR Charizard X as the most emotionally resonant secondary pull, the MUR Darkrai is likely to occupy a similar position in this set.

Mega Zeraora ex SAR (112/081) is the secondary legendary pull in Abyss Eye. Zeraora's Electric-type design — pale yellow and blue with exposed muscle anatomy — contrasts sharply with Darkrai's void palette, giving the set visual range. Zeraora appeared in Pokémon Unite and has a dedicated competitive fanbase; its first Mega treatment is expected to perform solidly above the secondary SAR floor. EN pricing TBA.

Mega Chandelure ex SAR (113/081) is the Ghost/Fire pull in Abyss Eye's upper chase tier. The chandelier Pokémon's blue flames and haunted atmosphere are a natural fit for a set built around darkness — the SAR illustration gives Mega Chandelure the grand, candelabra-scale treatment its design demands. Chandelure has a strong collector fanbase from the Unova era and this is its first Mega SAR treatment. Pricing still settling.

Morpeko ex SAR (115/081) is the set's surprise inclusion — the tiny Hunger Switch Pokémon elevated to Special Art Rare alongside the Mega legends. Morpeko's dual-form nature (Full Belly and Hangry Mode) gives illustrators split-personality material that the SAR format handles well. A lower-price anchor in the ME5 chase pool but a popular collector target for fans of the Galar-era Pokémon.

Gladion's Fighting Spirit SAR (116/081) forms a connected art pair with the Silvally AR (093/081) — the two cards join together to depict Gladion and his signature partner in a single illustration that spans both cards. Gladion — the brooding rival from Alola, son of Lusamine, and canonical partner of Type: Null / Silvally — has a substantial following among Sun and Moon fans. A connected-art Trainer SAR is one of the most collectible formats in modern Pokémon TCG; demand for both halves of the pair is expected to be strong.

Gwynn SAR (117/081) is a Trainer card for the Gym Leader character introduced in the Legends: Z-A storyline, consistent with the dark/gothic aesthetic of Abyss Eye. As one of two Trainer SARs in the set alongside Gladion, her price trajectory will depend on Western reception at the July EN release. The character has received strong early engagement from collectors who followed the Legends: Z-A storyline. Pricing TBA.
