🎨 4 Unique Pack Art Designs to Collect
Each ME01 Sleeved Booster Pack features one of four iconic pack art designs — one for each of the set's four most beloved Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, each captured in the inaugural Mega Evolution Series' signature artwork style:
*Pack art received is random. All four designs contain the same 10-card randomised pool from the full ME01 set. Specific pack art cannot be requested.
🃏 What's Inside an ME01 Sleeved Booster Pack?
Every ME01 Sleeved Booster Pack draws from the full 188-card Mega Evolution set pool — the same as any pack from the booster box or bundle — giving every pack a genuine chance at every rarity including the legendary Mega Hyper Rares:
*Each pack contains 10 random cards plus either 1 Basic Energy card OR 1 Pokémon TCG Live code card (not both). Pack contents vary.
📌 ME01 Pack Contents Note — Energy OR Code Card, Not Both
- ME01 Sleeved Booster Packs contain 10 random cards plus either 1 Basic Energy card OR 1 Pokémon TCG Live code card — this varies by individual pack
- This is different from later Mega Evolution sets (Phantasmal Flames onward) where every pack includes both a Basic Energy and a code card
- If you want to redeem cards digitally, note that only packs containing a code card include a TCG Live redemption — not every ME01 pack will include one
🛡️ Why the Sleeved Booster Pack Format?
★ Same ME01 Card Pool — Full Chase Eligibility Including Mega Hyper Rare
- Every ME01 Sleeved Booster Pack draws from the identical 188-card pool as packs inside the booster box, booster bundle, and Elite Trainer Box
- Pull rates are identical to any individual pack — every sleeved pack has the same statistical chance at the Mega Lucario ex SIR, Mega Gardevoir ex SIR, both Mega Hyper Rares, or any of the set's Special Illustration Rares
- The 4 collectible pack art designs are exclusive to the sleeved format — the pack art differs by design, making all four a collectible art set in their own right
✦ First Set of a Historic New Series — Every Pack is a Collector Piece
- ME01 is the inaugural expansion of the Mega Evolution Series — the first new Pokémon TCG series since Sword & Shield in 2020. Packs from first-series expansions have a strong track record of collector value as sealed stock diminishes
- The ME01 sleeved pack's hanger sleeve packaging featuring first-generation Mega Evolution artwork makes even the sealed sleeve itself a historical artefact of the series launch
- Collecting all four pack art designs gives you a complete visual record of ME01's four headline Mega Evolution Pokémon ex in their inaugural TCG series artwork
🥊 Tamper-Evident Hanger Sleeve — Retail-Safe & Gift-Ready
- The cardboard hanger sleeve provides extra protection against bends and retail damage — your pack arrives pristine for opening or display
- Tamper-evident packaging ensures the pack has not been mapped or weighed from a fixed box distribution — you're opening a genuinely random retail pack
- Hanger design makes these ideal for peg-hook retail display, gift-wrapping, or adding to a sealed ME01 collection
⚡ What Makes ME01 a Historic Set
🔮 Mega Hyper Rare — The Rarest Gold Cards in Modern Pokémon TCG History
- ME01 introduced the Mega Hyper Rare (MHR) — a brand-new gold rarity tier pulling at approximately 1 in 1,260 packs
- Only two MHRs exist: Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex — making every sleeved pack a genuine (if rare) shot at the rarest cards in modern Pokémon TCG history
- 7× rarer than Scarlet & Violet Hyper Rare gold cards, the MHR is the ultimate collector pull — a sealed sleeved pack is your entry into that possibility
🌿 Mega Venusaur ex — 380 HP: The Highest HP Card Ever Printed
- Mega Venusaur ex holds the record for the highest HP total ever printed on a Pokémon TCG card at the time of ME01's release — 380 HP
- This milestone makes every Mega Venusaur ex pull — from Double Rare upward — a piece of Pokémon TCG history in its own right
- The pack art design featuring Mega Venusaur ex is one of the most visually striking of the four, making it a popular choice among Kanto starter and Grass-type collectors

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
- What is in the ME01 Mega Evolution Sleeved Booster Pack?
- Each ME01 Sleeved Booster Pack contains 10 randomly assorted cards from the full Mega Evolution set pool (188 cards), plus either 1 Basic Energy card or 1 Pokémon TCG Live code card — note that ME01 packs include one or the other, not both.
- What are the 4 pack art designs for ME01?
- The four pack art designs feature: Mega Lucario ex, Mega Gardevoir ex, Mega Venusaur ex, and Mega Kangaskhan ex. The design you receive is random and cannot be selected.
- Why does ME01 include Energy OR a code card — not both?
- ME01 introduced a new pack structure where each pack includes either a Basic Energy card or a Pokémon TCG Live code card — not both simultaneously. This was a deliberate design choice by The Pokémon Company International. Later sets (Phantasmal Flames onward) reverted to including both in every pack.
- Can I pull a Mega Hyper Rare from a sleeved booster pack?
- Yes — the ME01 Sleeved Booster Pack draws from the identical card pool as any pack in the booster box or bundle. Every pack has the same statistical pull rates, including the Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex Mega Hyper Rares at approximately 1 in 1,260 packs each.
- What is the ME01 set?
- Mega Evolution (ME01 / MEG) is the first expansion of the Mega Evolution Series, released September 26, 2025. It is the first new Pokémon TCG series since Sword & Shield in 2020, featuring nearly a dozen Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, 188 cards, and the debut of the Mega Hyper Rare rarity.
- How is the ME01 sleeved pack different from later Mega Evolution sleeved packs?
- The ME01 sleeved pack differs from later sets (Phantasmal Flames, Chaos Rising, Pitch Black) in two ways: the pack art designs feature ME01-specific Mega Pokémon (Lucario, Gardevoir, Venusaur, Kangaskhan), and each pack includes Energy OR a code card — not both. Later sets include both in every pack.
- Is ME01 good for new players?
- Yes — Mega Evolution Pokémon ex are powerful enough to compete at the highest levels of the current Standard format. A single sleeved pack is the lowest-cost way to begin exploring the Mega Evolution era and start building your first competitive deck.
Mega Evolve your strength to the next stage with the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Sleeved Booster Pack. Four collectible pack art designs. Ten cards. A genuine shot at the Mega Lucario ex Mega Hyper Rare gold card — 1 in 1,260 packs and pulling for the ages.
