What Is the Mega Gardevoir EX 156/103 Reprint?
The official card database lists 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) as the main set 001–103, the Classic Collection 136–165, and eight Basic Energy (as of October 21, 2026). Mega Gardevoir EX 156/103 sits inside that Classic Collection block — a run of 30 reprints, numbered 136 through 165. Per the official caveat that applies to the whole block, Classic Collection cards are not usable under the current Standard regulation; they remain legal only in whatever format the original printing is legal in.
The reprint’s credited illustrator, per the official database, is 5ban Graphics. Bulbapedia credits the original Primal Clash print to 5ban Graphics as well, and the later Generations reprint of this card to a different illustrator (Megumi Mizutani).
The Original M Gardevoir-EX: Print History and Card Text
The card 156/103 reprints is M Gardevoir-EX. The official M6a page captions the original as a 2014 print from the expansion pack “Tidal Storm” (拡張パック「タイダルストーム」). Per Bulbapedia, the English print is Primal Clash 106/160, released 4 February 2015, a Full Art print (156/160) also exists, and the card was separately reprinted in Generations (RC31/RC32) with different shiny artwork; on the Japanese side, Bulbapedia lists “Tidal Storm” regular print 051/070 and a secret rare 076/070.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Original print (official M6a page caption) | 2014 — 拡張パック「タイダルストーム」 |
| English print (Bulbapedia) | Primal Clash 106/160 (regular), Rare Holo EX — released 4 Feb 2015 |
| Japanese prints (Bulbapedia) | “Tidal Storm” 051/070 (regular); secret rare 076/070 |
| Illustrator (156/103) | 5ban Graphics |
| Type / HP | Fairy / 210 — Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX (evolves from Gardevoir-EX) |
| Attack | Brilliant Arrow — 30 damage times the total Energy attached to your Pokémon in play |
| Weakness | Metal (×2) |
| Resistance | Darkness (−20) |
| Retreat cost | 2 |
As a Pokémon-EX, the card carries the EX rule printed in the official database: the opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one when it’s Knocked Out. The database lists its stage as Mega Evolution (M進化), with 210 HP; Brilliant Arrow scales with the total Energy on your side of the field, so its damage grows as Energy is attached.
Why M Gardevoir-EX Is in the Classic Collection
The official M6a page describes the block as 30 cards that symbolise the history of the game (「30年の歴史を象徴するカード」), reissued in 特別仕様 (“special specification”) treatment. Per Bulbapedia’s card notes, this same Gardevoir already had a second, separate print run: the Generations reprint (RC31/RC32) used all-new shiny Mega Gardevoir artwork, distinct from the original art.
The practical result is that 156/103 brings a recognisable Mega Evolution attacker from the XY era into M6a, in the same special treatment as the other 29 Classic Collection cards.
