## Chasing them in Mega Evolution

Mega Evolution runs to 188 cards with 32 Illustration/Special Illustration Rares, but landing Mega Lucario ex, Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex covers most of what collectors actually want — a far quicker goal than the full 310-card master set. The rarest single pull, Mega Lucario ex (#188) (Mega Hyper Rare), rounds out the want-list.
