Chasing them in Pitch Black
Pitch Black runs to 120 cards with 17 Illustration/Special Illustration Rares, but landing Mega Darkrai ex, Mega Zeraora ex and Mega Chandelure ex covers most of what collectors actually want — a far quicker goal than the full 194-card master set. The rarest single pull, Mega Darkrai ex (#120) (Mega Hyper Rare), rounds out the want-list.
