The official site describes it as a Mega Evolution ex that powers up its Energy all at once to go for huge damage.

Is Mega Symphonia Worth Collecting in Japanese?
Mega Symphonia is one of the first two sets of the Pokémon Card Game MEGA era, the sets that brought Mega Evolution back to the card game. Many collectors prefer Japanese booster boxes for their print quality and card stock, and the Japanese set has its own numbering, rarity symbols and artwork layout. Mega Symphonia's cards were later included in the English Mega Evolution set together with Mega Brave, but the Japanese cards are a different product with their own 092-card numbering and Japanese text. Each Mega Symphonia booster box contains 30 packs of 5 cards.
