**Futuristic Rare is a brand-new Pokémon TCG rarity debuting in 30th Celebration (Sept 2026), featuring bold new visuals — the first ones are Mewtwo ex and Mew ex by artist YOSHIROTTEN.**

## A new rarity for the 30th anniversary

**Futuristic Rare** (abbreviated "FUR" on the Japanese cards) is a **new rarity tier** introduced with 30th Celebration. Pokémon describes them as cards "featuring evocative new visuals" — a fresh, modern art treatment created specially for the anniversary set.

## The first Futuristic Rares

The debut Futuristic Rares are **Mewtwo ex** and **Mew ex**, illustrated by guest artist **YOSHIROTTEN**. As a brand-new chase rarity headlining an anniversary set, these are expected to be among the most sought-after cards in 30th Celebration.

## How rare are they?

Exact pull rates haven't been confirmed. As a top-tier secret-style rarity in an all-foil set, expect them to sit at the very top of the chase, above the set's Illustration Rares and ex cards.

> **Pre-release set.** 30th Celebration isn't out yet — everything here is from official reveals and TCG news as of August 2026, and details can still change before launch. We'll swap in full card data once it releases.
