**Mega Darkrai ex is Pitch Black's top chase card as the set's Mega Hyper Rare, with Mega Zeraora ex close behind. Both have special-illustration versions, and Mega Chandelure ex, Mega Excadrill ex, Mega Delphox ex and Mega Slowbro ex round out the set's six Megas.**

## Pitch Black's headline chase cards

The card everyone wants is **Mega Darkrai ex**, the set's dark-themed cover star and its **Mega Hyper Rare** — the top rarity in the checklist. **Mega Zeraora ex** is the other headliner. Both have **special-illustration (alt-art) versions**, and those are the expensive pulls.

## The full Mega line-up

**Mega Chandelure ex**, **Mega Excadrill ex**, **Mega Delphox ex** and **Mega Slowbro ex** fill out the six new Mega ex cards. With **6 Special Illustration Rares** and **11 Illustration Rares** among the set's 36 secret rares, there's a long run of chase cards beyond the Megas.

## What we can't tell you yet

We have no market data for Pitch Black — its cards aren't in our database — so any price attached to these cards elsewhere is a marketplace figure, not one of ours.

> **Out now, data pending.** Pitch Black released on July 17, 2026. Our card database hasn't picked it up yet, so the figures here come from Pokémon's own announcements and the TCG press, checked August 2026 — not from card-by-card data. Exact counts follow once the cards land.
