Which M1S cards should you buy first?

Buy MEGA Gardevoir ex MUR 092/063 first if you want a single card for the set, then Acerola’s Mischief SAR 090/063, MEGA Latias ex SR 079/063, Acerola’s Mischief SR 084/063, and the two Art Rare cards, Shedinja 072/063 and Litleo 066/063. This is an order of preference by collector goal, and we make no predictions about how any card will move later.

Every card below is sold as a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) single. You choose the exact number, rarity and grade instead of gambling on packs. The lead card has its own page: PSA10 MEGA Gardevoir ex MUR [M1S 092/063].

Rarity labels and numbers in this table come from our product pages. The printed set count is 063, so numbers above 063 are the extra-rarity cards. If you need the whole 92-card run, our Mega Symphonia card list covers it; this guide only helps you choose.

What is M1S, and how does it shape the cards you choose?

M1S is Expansion Pack “Mega Symphonia” from the MEGA series, released in Japan on August 1, 2025 together with Mega Brave. Both packs share the release date, and the same official page lists the Premium Trainer Box MEGA, which holds 10 packs of Mega Brave and 10 packs of Mega Symphonia.

The MEGA series was announced at Pokémon Presents on February 27, 2025, according to the official MEGA series notice. Its core idea is the Mega Evolution ex card. It has higher HP and stronger attacks and counts as a Pokémon ex. The trade-off is that your opponent takes 3 Prize cards when it is knocked out.

The Mega Symphonia side has five Mega Evolution ex cards on the official page: Mega Gardevoir ex, Mega Latias ex, Mega Kangaskhan ex, Mega Abomasnow ex and Mega Manectric ex. Its listed Trainer cards include Wally’s Compassion and Rare Candy.

The official page also explains the rarity design. SR (Super Rare) includes a Goods card. AR (Art Rare) and SAR (Special Art Rare) form one full illustration when three cards are placed side by side. Shedinja AR and Litleo AR are the two AR cards in our M1S listings.

Why is MEGA Gardevoir ex MUR the first pick for M1S?

MEGA Gardevoir ex MUR 092/063 is the first pick because it is the only MUR among the M1S cards we list, and Mega Gardevoir ex is the Mega Evolution ex that the official Mega Symphonia page names first. It is the card to choose when you want a single M1S card to stand for the whole set.

The playable version is a different print: MEGA Gardevoir ex RR 042/063, illustrated by takuyoa. The official card database entry gives HP 360, Stage 2, an attack called Mega Symphonia that does 50× damage, weakness ×2 and resistance −30. Its rule text says the opponent takes 3 Prize cards when a Mega Evolution ex is knocked out. The MUR shows the same Pokémon as a collector card, so you can own the art-first version without deciding whether to play it.

Mega Gardevoir ex has at least three prints in M1S: RR 042/063, SAR 087/063 and MUR 092/063. Our single-card guide covers the middle one: PSA 10 Mega Gardevoir ex SAR 087/063. The rule of thumb: choose the MUR 092/063 for the MUR print, the SAR 087/063 for the Special Art Rare print, and the RR 042/063 only if you want to play the card.

A PSA 10 is the grade PSA calls Gem Mint. Our product pages add a plain note that the PSA case itself may have minor scratches or marks on its surface, so the grade describes the card, not the plastic. Read the product page before you buy.

Should you choose Acerola’s Mischief SAR or SR?

Choose the SAR 090/063 first; it is the Special Art Rare print and our pick for a second card after the Gardevoir MUR. Our listings carry Acerola’s Mischief in two rarities, SR 084/063 and SAR 090/063, which makes it the simplest name in M1S to build a two-card set around.

The SAR is the card to choose if you want the Special Art Rare treatment: PSA10 Acerola’s Mischief SAR [M1S 090/063]. The SR is the one for the Super Rare slot: PSA10 Acerola’s Mischief SR [M1S 084/063].

Why does the pair rank high on our list? SAR and SR are different rarity slots, so one name gives you two distinct cards. The decision is simple: one card if you want the Special Art Rare print, both if you want every version of that name. If you want a Mega Evolution ex instead, go to the next section.

Is MEGA Latias ex SR the right Mega Evolution ex to choose?

Yes, MEGA Latias ex SR 079/063 is a sound choice if you want a Mega Evolution ex from Mega Symphonia without moving up to the MUR. Latias is one of the five Mega Evolution ex Pokémon on the official Mega Symphonia list, so the card sits at the centre of what the set is about.

The listing is PSA10 MEGA Latias ex SR [M1S 079/063]. As an SR it pairs naturally with the Gardevoir MUR: two of the five Mega Evolution ex Pokémon, in two different rarities.

Pick the Latias if the Mega Evolution ex theme matters most to you. Pick Acerola’s Mischief if you want a name that appears in two rarities. Both are reasonable, and neither replaces the MUR as our first pick for a one-card purchase.

For a broader look at the key cards in the set, the Mega Symphonia chase cards guide goes through them one by one.

Should you choose the AR cards, Shedinja and Litleo?

Choose Shedinja AR 072/063 or Litleo AR 066/063 only if you want Art Rare cards. They are a lower-profile entry point for someone who wants a graded M1S card without going for the headline names.

Remember what the official page says about AR: AR and SAR cards form a full illustration when three cards are placed side by side.

The Shedinja listing is PSA10 Shedinja AR [M1S 072/063].

The Litleo listing is PSA10 Litleo AR [M1S 066/063]. Its number, 066, sits just above the printed set count of 063, so it is an extra-rarity card.

If you can only buy one of the two, choose the one whose artwork you would actually display. That is a taste decision, and the grade and set are identical.

Should you buy a PSA 10 single, a booster box or a carton of M1S?

Buy a PSA 10 single if you want a specific card, and buy sealed product only if you want to open packs. A single gives you the number and grade you can read on the product page. Packs give you random inserts: 5 cards per pack on the official page.

Our carton listing is one full carton (case) of 12 Japanese Mega Symphonia booster boxes. It ships from Tokyo by FedEx with a tracking number: M1S-Mega Symphonia Japanese Pokemon Booster Box – Carton.

For one booster box rather than a case, read our Mega Symphonia Japanese booster box guide. The rule is direct: if you want the Gardevoir MUR, choose the single. No official page we use states a pull rate, so nothing here lets us promise a particular card from sealed product.

Which M1S buyer type are you?

You are one of four buyer types: a display collector, a player, a set builder or a pack opener, and each has a clear first choice. Decide the type first and the card follows.

The player route is the one that surprises people. described in the official card database. If you play, read the rule text there first: the opponent takes 3 Prize cards when a Mega Evolution ex is knocked out, which is a real cost you accept for the higher HP.

The set builder route works well in M1S because two names, Acerola’s Mischief and Mega Gardevoir ex, each appear in more than one rarity. You can start a small collection around a name instead of a rarity, and the extra-rarity numbers above 063 make the prints easy to tell apart.

How do you avoid ordering the wrong M1S card?

Read four things on the product page before you order: the grade, the full card number, the rarity and the set name. The set code M1S is close to SM1S, an older set, and the same name can appear in several rarities inside M1S.

M1S cards carry a “[M1S” prefix and a “/063” count. Our catalogue also lists cards from the older set with the similar code SM1S, Expansion Pack “Collection Sun”, for example PSA10 Espeon GX HR [SM1S 068/060]. That one is a different set with a /060 count. A quick look at the set name avoids a wrong order.

Use the same check for the two Acerola’s Mischief cards. They share a name, so only the number and rarity tell them apart: 084/063 is the SR and 090/063 is the SAR. Likewise the two Litleo and Latias product URLs you may see in our catalogue point to the same card number, so the number is the reliable identifier.

How do shipping, customs and payment work for M1S orders?

Orders ship from Tokyo by FedEx with a tracking number, and you choose Standard or Expedited at checkout. Standard is FedEx International Connect Plus, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch. Expedited is FedEx International Priority, usually 2-5 business days. Both are estimates, not promised delivery dates, per our shipping policy.

Handling and transit are separate. The policy says delivery estimates do not include handling time, customs processing, weekends, Japanese national holidays or carrier congestion. Once an order is with FedEx, customs inspections and carrier events are outside our control.

PSA 10 singles carry one extra rule. PSA graded cards may also be offered through our other sales channels, so an item shown online may already be sold before the allocation is locked for your order. After your payment clears, the policy says we will secure the PSA graded card matching your order, even if additional sourcing is required, and dispatch may take longer in that case.

On payment, Wise transfers carry no processing fee. A Wise order without a screenshot is cancelled automatically if payment has not arrived within 12 hours, or 3 hours if the order contains a pre-order item. With a screenshot, you upload it within 5 days and the order price is held for 10 days. Cards are accepted through PayPal: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB, with the brands offered decided by PayPal. Full terms are on the payment methods page.

Which M1S cards should you skip?

Skip any card you cannot identify by full number, rarity and set name. That is how buyers end up with the wrong version, and M1S makes it easy because Mega Gardevoir ex alone has at least three prints: RR 042/063, SAR 087/063 and MUR 092/063.

Skip the RR 042/063 if you are buying only for the collection. It is the playable card (HP 360, Stage 2), so it suits players more than display collectors. If you want to play Mega Gardevoir ex, that is the card the official card database describes.

Skip splitting one budget across several low-profile cards if your goal is the headline card. This is a recommendation about focus: choose the target card first, then add a companion.

Skip placing an order to a P.O. Box. FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, and the policy asks for a physical shipping address at checkout. While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account, but the destination country cannot be changed.

A related print worth a look is Raikou 030/063 from M1S, which our Raikou Mega era guide follows through later sets.

What is the simplest M1S buying plan?

Start with Mega Gardevoir ex MUR 092/063, add Acerola’s Mischief SAR 090/063 as a companion, and move to Mega Latias ex SR 079/063, Acerola’s Mischief SR 084/063, Shedinja AR 072/063 and Litleo AR 066/063 only as your goals widen. Choose sealed product only if opening packs is the point.

That order follows the structure of the set. The MUR is our first pick for the lead Pokémon. The SAR is the Special Art Rare print of Acerola’s Mischief. The SR slot offers a Mega Evolution ex and a second Acerola’s Mischief. The ARs are the Art Rare cards. If you are unsure, buy the headline card and one companion, then stop.

Before you pay, check the product page one last time: stock levels can change, and the page notes that in some cases an order may take a little longer to ship. Then pick Standard or Expedited at checkout and pay by Wise or PayPal.
