Abyss Eye is the first MEGA-era set to raise its own price — every pack now costs ¥20 more than Mega Brave, Inferno X, or Ninja Spinner did before it.
Abyss Eye (アビスアイ, set code M5) is a standalone Japanese Pokemon TCG expansion built around Mega Darkrai ex, printed across four rarity tiers and topping out at a gold Mega Ultra Rare sitting at the very last collection number in the set. It released May 22, 2026, as the newest of the four MEGA-era sets we cover here — sets built around the Mega Evolution mechanic and the MUR gold-card tier that debuted with the line’s first releases.
If you’re deciding whether a sealed Abyss Eye box is worth buying, this guide covers exactly what’s inside, what the four Mega Darkrai ex printings are worth, how the box compares to the rest of the MEGA line, and where to buy the box (including a discounted option) and the singles from Japan.
Each Abyss Eye box is 30 packs of 5 cards (150 cards total) for a ¥6,000 MSRP — the first price step-up in the MEGA line, from ¥180 to ¥200 per pack. The set runs 81 base cards plus 37 secret-tier cards for 118 total, and Mega Darkrai ex appears four times — RR 046/081, SR 099/081, SAR 114/081, and the flagship MUR 118/081. A PSA 10 of the SAR is currently listed at ¥63,366 (~$431) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), and our sealed box is currently listed at ¥8,296–¥9,282 (~$56–$63).
Prices below are current listed prices at ¥147/USD. Card numbers and set configuration are transcribed from the official Abyss Eye product page and Limitless TCG’s set list as of August 2026.
What’s Inside an Abyss Eye Booster Box
Abyss Eye (ポケモンカードゲーム MEGA 拡張パック「アビスアイ」) released in Japan on May 22, 2026 as a standalone expansion — it has no same-day sister set, unlike some earlier MEGA-era releases.
Each pack costs ¥200 (tax included) and contains 5 cards — the first per-pack price increase across the whole MEGA-era line, up from the ¥180 every earlier set (Mega Brave, Inferno X, Ninja Spinner) had charged. A sealed box holds 30 packs, for a total of 150 cards and a Japan domestic box MSRP of ¥6,000 (~$41).
The set’s card pool breaks down as:
| Tier | Card range | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Base set | 001–081 | 81 |
| Art Rare (AR) | 082–093 | 12 |
| Secret Rare (SR) | 094–111 | 18 |
| Special Art Rare (SAR) | 112–117 | 6 |
| Mega Ultra Rare (MUR) | 118 | 1 |
| Total | — | 118 |
That SR count — 18 cards — ties Ninja Spinner (M4) for the largest SR count of any MEGA-era set covered here. Beyond the Darkrai, Zeraora, and Chandelure lines covered below, the SR tier also holds secret-rare printings of Lurantis ex, Wailord ex, Rampardos ex, Morpeko ex, and Mega Excadrill ex — each with its own base-set RR counterpart, and Morpeko in particular carrying an SAR printing as well.
Full pull-rate context on how often each tier actually comes out of a box is covered separately in our Abyss Eye pull rates & best cards article; this guide focuses on what to buy and what it costs. For the complete base-to-secret checklist with every card name and number, see the M5 card list page or our companion Abyss Eye card list article.
The Chase: Mega Darkrai ex, Four Ways
Abyss Eye only has one Mega Ultra Rare, and it’s Mega Darkrai ex — card 118 out of 118, the very last slot in the set. The official product page leads with its ability, which knocks out Pokemon affected by Special Conditions, and that alone makes it the single most-discussed pull from this box.
What makes Mega Darkrai ex unusual even within the MEGA line is that Abyss Eye prints the same Pokemon at four separate rarity tiers, each a distinct illustration and finish:
| Printing | Number | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Darkrai ex | 046/081 | RR (Double Rare) |
| Mega Darkrai ex | 099/081 | SR (Secret Rare) |
| Mega Darkrai ex | 114/081 | SAR (Special Art Rare) |
| Mega Darkrai ex | 118/081 | MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) |
The MUR (118/081) is the gold-finish top card — a brand-new illustration rather than a gold recolor of an existing full art, the defining trait of the Mega Ultra Rare tier since it debuted with the line’s first sets. We don’t currently have a graded MUR single listed; check Quick Order for restock requests on this specific printing.
The SAR (114/081) pictured above is the special-art textured printing one tier below the MUR — the version most Abyss Eye collectors are realistically chasing, since the SAR tier’s six card slots (112–117) give it far better odds per case than the set’s single MUR slot. A graded copy is currently listed at ¥63,366 (~$431) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) as a PSA 10.
The RR (046/081), pictured above, and the SR (099/081) are the more attainable printings — standard holofoil and secret-rare treatments of the same Pokemon, without the special-art or gold finishes. If your goal is simply to own the card rather than chase the top tier, these are the entry point, and both are available a la carte through our Quick Order page.
Check the card number in the bottom corner. 046/081 and 099/081 use the standard card frame; 114/081 has the special-art full-bleed treatment; 118/081 is the only one with the gold MUR finish.
PSA independently determines authenticity and grade; we list graded singles as they come in, and stock on any individual PSA 10 can be limited to one copy.
Other Notable Pulls: Zeraora, Chandelure & the Trainer Chases
Mega Darkrai ex isn’t the only multi-tier chase in the box. Two more Mega ex lines and two Supporter cards get the SR-and-SAR double treatment, and a common base-set card doubles as a secret-rarity pull as well.
Mega Zeraora ex runs RR 026/081, SR 096/081, and SAR 112/081 — no MUR, so the SAR is the top printing collectors can chase for this Pokemon. Mega Chandelure ex follows the same three-tier pattern at RR 036/081, SR 097/081, and SAR 113/081. Neither line has a PSA-graded copy in our stock at the moment; check our Quick Order page for restock requests on either printing.
A third ex line, Mega Excadrill ex, stops one tier earlier — RR 063/081 and SR 101/081, with no SAR printing at all.
On the Trainer side, Gladion’s Final Battle (グラジオの決戦) runs SR 109/081 and SAR 116/081, and Gwynn (ムク, pictured above — a new character whose official English name is unconfirmed; “Gwynn” is Limitless TCG’s own translation) runs SR 111/081 and SAR 117/081. Supporter-card chases like these tend to hold steady collector interest independent of the set’s headline Pokemon.
Dark Bell, pictured above at 070/081, is a good example of a card that lives at two rarities in the same set — it’s an Uncommon Item in the base run, and the identical card reappears as a Secret Rare at 105/081. That pattern, a base-set Item or Supporter getting a secret-rarity foil reprint, is common enough across the SR tier to be a realistic expectation from a box rather than a rare fluke.
Current Box Pricing (Including a Budget Option)
The Japanese MSRP for an Abyss Eye box is ¥6,000 (~$41) — but that’s the domestic Japan retail price, not an imported, tracked-shipping price landed internationally. Our sealed Abyss Eye box is currently listed at ¥8,296–¥9,282 (~$56–$63), shipped from Tokyo with tracked delivery.
For buyers working with a tighter budget, we also carry a discounted Damaged Box listing, recently listed at ¥7,820 (~$53) — the same sealed product inside, with cosmetic-only imperfections to the outer box (dents, creases, or shelf wear), not the packs or cards themselves. It’s currently out of stock, with restock requests handled through Quick Order. It’s priced below our standard listing, making it the more sensible route if you’re opening the box yourself and don’t care about outer-box condition.
How Abyss Eye Compares to the Rest of the MEGA Line
Abyss Eye is the newest of the four MEGA-era Japanese expansions we cover here, each built around its own flagship Mega ex and its own single MUR. Here’s how the product specs line up:
| Set | Release | MSRP/pack | Base | Total | MUR card |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Brave (M1L) | 2025-08-01 | ¥180 | 63 | 92 | Mega Lucario ex 092 |
| Inferno X (M2) | 2025-09-26 | ¥180 | 80 | 116 | Mega Charizard X ex 116 |
| Ninja Spinner (M4) | 2026-03-13 | ¥180 | 83 | 120 | Mega Greninja ex 120 |
| Abyss Eye (M5) | 2026-05-22 | ¥200 | 81 | 118 | Mega Darkrai ex 118 |
All four boxes are 30 packs of 5 cards, and Mega Brave, Inferno X, and Ninja Spinner share the same ¥180-per-pack Japan MSRP — Abyss Eye is the first MEGA-era set to step that number up, to ¥200 per pack and ¥6,000 per box. Card counts have stayed in a tight band across the line (92 to 120 total), and Abyss Eye’s 118 sits right in the middle of that range with its own set of secret-tier oddities, including an SR count (18) tied with Ninja Spinner (M4) for the largest in the line so far.
If you’re weighing Abyss Eye against the set that immediately preceded it, our Ninja Spinner vs. Abyss Eye box guide breaks down the two side by side. For a comparison against the set that followed it, see our Abyss Eye vs. Storm Emeralda box guide.
Who Should Buy This Box
Abyss Eye makes sense for a specific kind of buyer:
- Mega Darkrai ex collectors. If you’re building a collection around this specific Pokemon, Abyss Eye is the only place to pull the MUR, SAR, SR, and RR versions from a single box — no other set carries this exact print run.
- Buyers who want odds at all four Darkrai tiers in one box. Since the RR, SR, SAR, and MUR are all live pulls from the same 30-pack box, opening product gives shots at every tier rather than a single fixed printing.
- Buyers who don’t mind the price step-up. At ¥200 per pack, Abyss Eye is a modestly higher buy-in than the ¥180 sets before it. If that ¥20-per-pack difference matters to your budget across a case, it’s worth weighing against Ninja Spinner or Inferno X instead.
- Buyers who’d rather compare Mega ex options first. If Mega Darkrai isn’t the specific pull you’re after, the comparison table above is the starting point for weighing Abyss Eye against Mega Brave, Inferno X, or Ninja Spinner product instead. And if you’re deciding between this set and what followed it, the Abyss Eye vs. Storm Emeralda box guide covers that matchup directly.
- Budget-conscious openers. The Damaged Box listing above gets you the same sealed packs at a discount if outer-box cosmetics don’t matter to you.
If you’d rather target the chase card directly instead of opening packs, our graded singles — including the PSA 10 SAR at ¥63,366 (~$431) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — are the more direct route. For the wider context on the set — release story, pre-order timing, and a fuller walkthrough of the chase cards — our complete Abyss Eye guide covers it in depth, and community-reported pull-rate estimates per tier are in our Abyss Eye pull rates & best cards article.
