Aura Seeker at a glance

Mega Lucario Z ex: the same Pokémon, a different type

Collectors already know Mega Lucario from Mega Brave (M1L), where it appeared as a Fighting Pokémon in four rarities, up to the gold MUR. Aura Seeker brings the Z form from the game Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which is Metal instead of Fighting. On the English preview the card has 330 HP, an ability that searches your deck for a Supporter and the attack Dancing Fist. On 31 August 2026 The Pokémon Company also revealed Riolu and Sigilyph ex from this set. German and English fan sites report more Mega Pokémon in Z form, such as Mega Absol Z ex and Mega Garchomp Z ex; that has not been officially confirmed.

What's in an Aura Seeker box?

Aura Seeker is a regular expansion, not a High Class Pack. The box is built like the other MEGA main sets: 30 packs of 5 cards, 150 cards per box. In those sets collectors usually find a few Art Rares and at least one Super Rare or better per box, but The Pokémon Company does not publish official pull rates. Reliable figures for Aura Seeker will only come after the first few hundred box openings in Japan. The odds for the other sets are in pull rates of Japanese Pokémon sets.

Japanese, or wait for Flowing Fists?

• Japanese: you open Mega Lucario Z ex more than ten weeks earlier, with smaller packs (5 cards) and the crisper Japanese print. Ideal for collectors and anyone who wants to grade; see why Japanese cards grade better.
• English: needed if you play official tournaments in Europe. According to the English preview, Flowing Fists has 80 cards in its main set, so the card list may differ in details.

The general differences between the two languages are in Japanese or English?
