Here’s Mega Skarmory EX From the Upcoming New Mega Pokémon TCG Set

Today brings an ultra rare Pokémon card from the upcoming Mega Evolution — Perfect Order expansion, and it’s the first time this Mega Evolved ex creature has appeared in the Pokémon trading card game.

Mega Skarmory ex sees the recently-revealed Mega Pokémon appear in powerful form, with 260 HP and a punishing special attack.

Sonic Ripper will require two Steel energy and one Colorless energy to pull off, and comes with the requirement that you shuffle all energy attached to the creature into your deck. In return, though, you’ll be able to damage any one of your opponent’s Pokémon, including those that are Benched.

The move lands a chunky 220 damage, and without Weakness or Resistance for Benched creatures. As a Steel type, Mega Skarmory itself meanwhile is double weak to Electric, and comes with a -30 resistance to Fighting.

Mega Evolution — Perfect Order expansion is the first TCG expansion based around last year’s Mega Pokémon introduced to the franchise in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Alongside other cards based on Mega Clefable and Mega Zygarde, this card will arrive as part of the set when it lands on March 27.
