Venusaur Full Art Cards: Mega Venusaur ex SAR and SR Prints

Venusaur Full Art Cards: Mega Venusaur ex SAR and SR 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 Mega Venusaur print of those rarities that our Japanese database checks cover.

For how the full-art rarities compare across Japanese sets, see our full art Pokemon cards guide; for the M1L SAR see also our Mega Venusaur ex PSA 10 guide.

The XY-Era Originals: MフシギバナEX

MフシギバナEX runs on the original M進化 (Mega Evolution) rule: Mega Evolving ends your turn immediately, and the card has no Ability to compensate — the payoff is entirely in the attack. Four Japanese printings exist from this era.

The XY1 002/060 printing debuted the card in 拡張パック「コレクションX」 (RR).

The 20th 002/072 printing came in the official スターターパック, released 2016-02-27 at ¥1,300+tax — a randomized 60-card deck plus coin and damage counters built to recreate the original 1996 first product. This printing carries no rarity mark. On the card itself: HP230, Grass-type, attack ブルームバスター (BLOOM BUSTER) 130 with a coin-flip Bench-damage effect, illustrated by 5ban Graphics.

The CP6 002/087 RR printing came from the same 20th Anniversary concept pack as the SR below (see next section), released 2016-09-16 at ¥300+tax for 10 cards per pack.

The 2025 Return: メガフシギバナex in M1L “Mega Brave”

メガフシギバナex debuted 2025-08-01 in M1L「メガブレイブ」, one of the two sets (alongside M1S) that launched the MEGA era. It runs on the new メガシンカex rule — no forced end-of-turn on evolving, and when it’s Knocked Out, your opponent takes three Prize cards. Three rarities were printed.

The Modern Venusaur-Line Sealed Product

One more Venusaur item worth flagging for starter-trio collectors: the Special Deck Set ex Venusaur & Charizard & Blastoise, released 2023-11-10 at MSRP ¥5,500. Three pre-built 60-card decks — フシギバナex, リザードンex, カメックスex — plus a Pokemon coin, damage counters, playmat, beginner guides, and storage, playable straight out of the box.

Important distinction: this is a Venusaur ex (SV) sealed product, not a Mega Venusaur product. It doesn’t contain either MフシギバナEX or メガフシギバナex — it’s the modern non-Mega Venusaur-line item, and it is listed here as a related pickup for anyone building out the full three-starter collection, not as a Mega card source.

This set is currently listed at ¥37,417 (~$243).

For the full evolution-line collecting angle — Bulbasaur through Venusaur across every era, Mega and non-Mega alike — see our Bulbasaur to Venusaur cards guide.
