Mega Darkrai ex: The Star of Abyss Eye

Mega Darkrai ex — 046/081 (RR)

Mega Darkrai ex is a Basic Darkness Mega Evolution Pokémon ex with 280 HP. Its first attack, Night Raid (ナイトレイド), does 110 damage, plus 110 more if any of your Benched Pokémon have damage counters on them. Its second attack is named Abyss Eye (アビスアイ), just like the set: if your opponent's Active Pokémon is affected by a Special Condition, it is Knocked Out. As a Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, it gives up 3 Prize cards when Knocked Out.

Mega Darkrai ex appears four times in the set: the regular Double Rare (046), a Super Rare (099), a Special Art Rare (114) and the gold Mega Ultra Rare (118), the rarest card of Abyss Eye. Cards that inflict Special Conditions, such as the Item Dark Bell (it Confuses both Active Pokémon, except Darkness Pokémon) and Malamar, pair naturally with its Abyss Eye attack.

A Stage 2 Psychic Mega Evolution Pokémon ex with 350 HP that evolves from Lampent.

It also appears as a Super Rare (097) and a Special Art Rare (113).

Mega Excadrill ex (063/081)

A Stage 1 Metal Mega Evolution Pokémon ex with 340 HP. Max Drill does 200 damage, plus 130 more if it has at least 2 extra Energy attached beyond the attack's cost. It also appears as a Super Rare (101).

Ghost Veil, Antique Fossils and Other Highlights

Abyss Eye puts the spotlight on the Ghost Veil Ability (ばけがくれ): Poltchageist, Sinistcha, Shuppet and Banette can't be affected by effects of attacks or Abilities from your opponent's Pokémon. Sinistcha, Spiritomb and Dhelmise get stronger attacks when enough Pokémon with Ghost Veil are in your discard pile.

The set also brings two Antique Fossil Items, Antique Skull Fossil and Antique Shield Fossil, which are played as 60-HP Basic Pokémon and evolve into Cranidos and Shieldon. The Stadium Fossil Excavation Site lets each player put up to 2 Antique Items from their deck onto their Bench once per turn, feeding Rampardos ex, Bastiodon and Relicanth.

The Supporters are Misty's Energy, Gladion's Decisive Battle, Rust Syndicate Grunt and Gwynn; Gladion's Decisive Battle and Gwynn also get Special Art Rares (116 and 117). The Special Art Rare line-up is completed by Mega Zeraora ex, Mega Chandelure ex, Mega Darkrai ex and Morpeko ex (115).
