Lucario Full Art Cards: Mega Lucario ex MUR, SR, SAR and UR Prints
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings. This page lists every Lucario print of those rarities that our Japanese database checks cover.

Mega Lucario ex: The Face of Mega Brave (M1L)
Mega Lucario ex is the cover Pokemon of Mega Brave, the Japanese expansion known by its set code M1L. Released August 1, 2025 alongside its sister set Mega Symphonia (M1S), Mega Brave opened the current Mega-evolution era of the Japanese Pokemon TCG. A single booster pack holds five cards at ¥180, and a sealed booster box holds thirty packs at a retail price of ¥5,400.
Lucario itself dates back to its 2005 movie debut as the Aura Pokemon, and it has anchored a Japanese box-art slot before — most notably in the 2014 XY era.

The Four Mega Lucario ex Rarities in M1L
Mega Brave prints Mega Lucario ex four separate times, and the number on the card is the only reliable way to tell them apart:
| Number | Rarity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 029/063 | RR | The set’s regular double-rare print |
| 078/063 | SR | — |
| 088/063 | SAR | Special Art Rare |
| 092/063 | MUR | M1L’s only Mega Ultra Rare slot |
The 092/063 MUR is the only Mega Ultra Rare Mega Lucario ex in Mega Brave, above the SAR and the SR in the rarity ladder. The 088/063 SAR is a step below it, and the 078/063 SR is the next rung down.
All four printings share the same Mega Lucario ex artwork family, so listings that only say “Mega Lucario ex” without a card number are easy to misprice. Confirm 029, 078, 088, or 092 before comparing prices.

The Mega Brave Box and the PSA10 Ladder
Mega Brave retailed at ¥5,400 per sealed booster box. Our Mega Brave Booster Box was listed at ¥8,974 (~$58) for the Sealed option and ¥7,842 (~$51) for the No Shrink option on October 22, 2026.
Above the SR, the ladder climbs through the SAR (088/063) to the MUR (092/063). On SNKRDUNK as of August 7, 2026, raw SAR asking prices were around ¥8,500, with a single PSA10 asking price near ¥39,800. For the MUR, raw asking prices were around ¥38,600, with a single PSA10 asking price near ¥139,000.
The Grail: Lucario V SR Showdown Promo
Lucario V SR (304/S-P) was the league-win prize from the Lucario HR Showdown, a sealed-battle event Japan ran from September 30 to December 31, 2022. Entrants paid ¥2,600 per pre-lottery entry, opened ten packs of the reinforcement expansion Blazing Arcana (S11a), and built a deck on the spot. A participation prize (Jun) went to everyone who entered; the league-winning prize was this Lucario V SR; the top prize was a Lucario VSTAR HR.
On SNKRDUNK as of August 7, 2026, raw asking prices were around ¥32,000 (unopened event packs around ¥62,000), and PSA10 asking prices ran between ¥100,000 and ¥150,000 across seven-plus asks.
It is a sealed-battle prize card rather than a set pull.
VSTAR SAR, the 2014 XY-Era UR & the 2007 Vintage Lv.X
Lucario VSTAR SAR (226/172) comes from VSTAR Universe (s12a), a Japanese high-class pack released December 2022. On SNKRDUNK as of August 7, 2026, raw asking prices were around ¥2,900, A-grade raw asking prices were in the ¥6,000–¥9,000 range, and a single PSA10 asking price was near ¥29,500.
Lucario’s other box-art moment predates Mega Brave by over a decade. M Lucario EX made its Japanese debut in XY3 “Rising Fist” in 2014, as a UR (105/096) with a first-edition print run. It was later reprinted in the high-class pack THE BEST OF XY at 063/171, plus a secret print at 176/171. The same XY era also produced Mega Lucario-themed sealed products, including a Mega Lucario fighting-type booster box and the Mega Master Deck Build Box “Power Style,” which included its own Lucario EX (018/049).
The English Lucario Lv.X is an Ultra Rare from Mysterious Treasures (2007, Diamond & Pearl era), a piece of Lucario’s card history.
The M2a Reprint
Mega Lucario ex isn’t confined to Mega Brave. The high-class pack M2a “Mega Dream ex”, released November 28, 2025, carries its own reprint: a regular RR at 092/193 and a mirror-art MA at 228/193. On SNKRDUNK as of August 7, 2026, the asking price of the mirror-art MA was around ¥1,000.
