Key facts: Mewtwo GX SSR 219/150 at a glance

Which Shiny Mewtwo card is the Japanese SM8b SSR 219/150?

It is Mewtwo GX with card number 219/150 and the SSR rarity, printed in the Japanese High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”. The shop lists it as “Mewtwo GX SSR [SM8b 219/150]”, and the box page names “SSR Shiny Mewtwo GX” among the key cards of the set.

Three details pin down the card so nothing gets mixed up. First, the name is Mewtwo GX, not Mewtwo ex or Mewtwo VSTAR; those are other card types with their own prints. Second, the number is 219/150, and the rarity mark is SSR. Third, the set is the Japanese edition: the box page labels the product “Japanese Original Edition, High Class Pack”.

The box page describes the product as “a world of brilliant Shiny Pokemon” and calls the SM8B-GX Ultra Shiny High Class booster box the crown jewel of the Sun & Moon era, famous for its Shiny GX cards. It lists Shiny Super Rares (SSR) among the rarity tiers of the set, alongside commons, uncommons, rares, double rares, art rares, super art rares and ultra rares. Mewtwo GX is one of three SSR cards the page names as chase cards, next to Shiny Charizard GX and Shiny Rayquaza GX.

If you came here for a different shiny Mewtwo, check the number printed on the card. A card reading 219/150 with the SSR mark is this one. Cards with other numbers, such as 082/072 for the SM3+ Mewtwo GX, belong to different sets, and section 5 sorts them out. The English name Mewtwo is the official English name of the Pokémon, so searches in English and the Japanese listing name lead to the same character.

A practical way to confirm the card in hand or on a listing is to read three fields in order: the card type (GX), the number (219/150) and the set code (SM8b). The shop’s product titles follow the same pattern, “Mewtwo GX SSR [SM8b 219/150] (High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”)”, so every field you need to match is already in the name.

What are the key facts of Mewtwo GX SSR in High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”?

The facts that matter are the number (219/150), the rarity (SSR), the Japanese release date (November 2, 2018) and the way the set is packed: 10 packs per box, 10 cards per pack. These details come from the shop’s booster box page and the PSA 10 product page for this card.

The last row is the one to remember when you decide between a box and a single. A High Class Pack box is a randomized product. The booster box page states that the specific cards in each box are randomly packed at the factory and that individual card pulls are not guaranteed. The same page lists Mewtwo GX as a key card, which tells you what the set features, not what any one box will hold.

The box page also says the product is brand new and sealed, shipped from the warehouse in Tokyo by FedEx, with tracking and insurance on each shipment. The listed price of the box, currently listed at ¥164,836, divided by 10 packs gives about ¥16,484 per pack. That is simple arithmetic on the listed price, useful only for sizing the box against the single card in section 4. It says nothing about what a pack contains.

The shop writes the set as SM8B on the box page and as SM8b on the card listings. Both refer to the same Sun & Moon “GX Ultra Shiny” product family, so either spelling in a product title points to this set.

The PSA 10 page adds its own facts about the card. It gives the card as Mewtwo GX No. 219/150, set High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”, rarity SSR, graded PSA 10 (Gem Mint). It describes PSA 10 as the highest grade certifiable by Professional Sports Authenticator, awarded to cards in flawless, gem mint condition, and it notes that the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface. Section 4 goes through what that means for a buyer.

Where does the shiny Mewtwo card sit among the SM8b chase cards?

It is one of five cards the booster box page names as key and chase cards: three SSR cards (Shiny Charizard GX, Shiny Rayquaza GX and Shiny Mewtwo GX), the SR Cynthia and the HR Eevee GX in gold.

The box page does not rank these cards against each other, and neither does this guide. What the list shows is that the set features shiny GX cards, with Mewtwo GX named beside two other shiny GX Pokémon at the same SSR rarity. Five cards are named; the page counts 150 card types in total.

If you are collecting shiny cards from this set, the Shiny Greninja card guide follows the same format as this article: card number, set, PSA 10 listing and box facts.

Our guides to the shiny Umbreon card from SM8b and SV8a and the shiny Gardevoir card cover other shiny prints that include SM8b. The method is the same each time: find the number, find the set, then decide between a single and a box.

What does a PSA 10 copy of the shiny Mewtwo card mean?

A PSA 10 copy is the card in a PSA case with the grade Gem Mint, which the product page describes as the highest possible grade. The product page names the exact card, Mewtwo GX No. 219/150, so the number and the grade are stated on the listing.

The shop has the card as “PSA10 Mewtwo GX SSR [SM8b 219/150] (High Class Pack “GX Ultra Shiny”)”. The PSA 10 product page shows the card as offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥75,602, sourced to order. The price was read on November 12, 2026.

The case note matters. The grade applies to the card inside the slab, and the product page says the plastic case can show minor scratches or marks. If you want a flawless case as well as a PSA 10 card, treat that as a separate preference: the listing text does not promise a particular case finish.

Compared with a box, a slab is a specific card at a stated grade. The box page lists Mewtwo GX as a chase card but guarantees no pulls. The back-order price of ¥75,602 is for one specific card at a known grade, while the box is currently listed at ¥164,836 for 10 packs. The difference between the two listed prices is ¥89,234. If you want this exact card at a stated grade, the PSA 10 page is the direct route. If you want to open the set, the box is the route.

How does the shiny Mewtwo card compare with other Mewtwo prints?

The SM8b card is a Mewtwo GX in the SSR tier, while the other Japanese Mewtwo prints in our guides are different cards from different sets. The table sorts them by set and number.

The closest comparison is the SM3+ Mewtwo GX. Both are Mewtwo GX cards, but they have different numbers, 082/072 against 219/150, and come from different products. The SM8b card carries the SSR mark of the “GX Ultra Shiny” set; the SM3+ card has its own set and number, covered in our Mewtwo GX PSA 10 guide.

The Mewtwo VSTAR cards differ in card type, VSTAR in place of GX, and our guide title lists them as HR and UR rather than SSR. Our S10b Mewtwo VSTAR guide and the S12a guide cover them. For one page that lines up several Japanese Mewtwo prints, use our Mewtwo PSA 10 Japanese Pokémon cards comparison.

A quick rule when you search: match three things, the card type (GX, VSTAR, ex), the number and the set code. For this guide that is Mewtwo GX, 219/150, SM8b. A listing that matches the name but not the number is a different card.

How does the SM8b shiny Mewtwo differ from Shiny Star V shinies and the Mewtwo ex FUR?

The SM8b card is a Mewtwo GX SSR from a set released in Japan on November 2, 2018. Shiny Star V (S4a) is a separate Sword & Shield High Class Pack released in 2020, and the Mewtwo ex FUR is a card from a 2026 product with a different rarity.

Shiny Star V is a second Japanese High Class Pack about shiny Pokémon, so it is a natural set to place beside SM8b. The official Shiny Star V page shows the “new illustration” and “shiny” icons, the “Amazing Rare” label and the deluxe mirror finish, and the official feature on color-variant Pokémon lists examples such as Ditto V and Ditto VMAX. The official Pokémon Card database shows Charizard VMAX at 308/190 with the SSR icon, HP 330, illustrated by aky CG Works. None of those pages is about Mewtwo GX 219/150, which is an SM8b card. For the Charizard side of that set, read our Charizard VMAX gold card guide; for Shiny Suicune, see the Shiny Suicune 221/190 guide.

The Mewtwo ex FUR is a separate card. The 30th CELEBRATION page lists FUR as a new rarity, Futuristic Rare, with Mewtwo ex at image file number 134 and Mew ex at 135, both illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN. The product is a 6-card Kira pack at ¥360 with a Pikachu card and a basic energy designed by YOSHIROTTEN in each pack, released worldwide on September 16, 2026. The page also says the 30 special reprint cards numbered 136–165 cannot be used in the current standard regulation, and that a 30th CELEBRATION card set released on October 16, 2026. None of that applies to the SM8b card. If you want the SSR Mewtwo GX, FUR is a different search.
