**Pitch Black has 84 cards in the main set, or 120 including its 36 secret rares.**

## Inside the Pitch Black checklist

Pitch Black's numbered 84-card base set splits into 95 Pokémon, 23 Trainers and 2 Energy. It's a Mega Evolution-series release and ranks the #34 largest set Nomekop tracks by printed count. The marquee Pokémon and their cards in Pitch Black:

- **Mega Darkrai** — Mega Darkrai ex (#48), Mega Darkrai ex (#101), Mega Darkrai ex (#116), Mega Darkrai ex (#120)
- **Morpeko** — Morpeko ex (#55), Morpeko ex (#102), Morpeko ex (#117)
- **Mega Zeraora** — Mega Zeraora ex (#27), Mega Zeraora ex (#98), Mega Zeraora ex (#114)
- **Mega Chandelure** — Mega Chandelure ex (#38), Mega Chandelure ex (#99), Mega Chandelure ex (#115)
- **Fomantis** — Fomantis (#85)

## Secret rares: #85 to #120 in Pitch Black

Anything numbered past the printed total of 84 is a secret rare. Pitch Black has 36 of them — #85 through #120 — which lift the count from 84 to 120. The headline pulls up there:

- [Mega Darkrai ex (#120)](/card/me5-120) — Mega Hyper Rare
- [Mega Zeraora ex (#114)](/card/me5-114) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Mega Chandelure ex (#115)](/card/me5-115) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Mega Darkrai ex (#116)](/card/me5-116) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Morpeko ex (#117)](/card/me5-117) — Special Illustration Rare
- [Gladion's Final Battle (#118)](/card/me5-118) — Special Illustration Rare

By rarity tier the rarer pool is 18 Ultra Rares, 11 Illustration Rares, 10 Double Rares and 6 Special Illustration Rares.
