Nihil Zero landed in Japan on January 23, 2026 as the third mainline set of the MEGA era, and it’s a big one: 80 base cards followed by a 37-card secret tier that runs from Art Rare all the way up to a single gold Mega Ultra Rare. If you’ve opened a box, or you’re trying to figure out what a specific number means, this page lays out every card in that secret run — number, Japanese name, English translation, and rarity — in one table.
This isn’t a pricing report or a “top pulls” ranking — it’s the reference list. Every number from 081/080 through 117/080 is transcribed below exactly as it appears in Limitless TCG’s Japanese set database, so you can look up a specific card, confirm a rarity, or check which Pokemon and Trainer cards got a Special Art Rare treatment in this particular set.
A naming note before the list: the official Japanese product name is ムニキスゼロ, which our own product listing renders as “Munikis Zero.” Most of our existing blog coverage of this set uses the community English title Nihil Zero, so that’s the name used through this guide — the product link below points to the same box either way.
Nihil Zero (M3) is a 117-card Japanese MEGA-era expansion — 80 base cards plus a 37-card secret tier. The set’s Mega Ultra Rare is Mega Zygarde ex (117/080), the top of a four-print Zygarde ex line that also includes an SR (097/080) and an SAR (113/080). Our highest-value graded anchor in the set right now is a PSA 10 Rosa’s Encouragement Special Art Rare (115/080) currently listed at ¥34,848 (~$237) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
Prices and stock in this guide were re-checked on September 1, 2026. Our sealed M3 boxes now run ¥8,000–8,820, while the lowest Japanese marketplace ask for a sealed M3 box on SNKRDUNK is ¥8,100 (~$55) as of the same date. The PSA 10 Mega Zygarde ex SAR referenced below has sold out since our August pass — its link is kept for reference.
Card numbers, names, and rarities below are transcribed from Limitless TCG’s Japanese set database, as catalogued as of August 2026. Prices are our own currently listed inventory as of September 1, 2026, converted at ¥147/USD.
What Is Nihil Zero (M3)?
Nihil Zero is an Expansion Pack — the standard MEGA-era format, not the larger High Class Pack format used for some later MEGA releases. Each pack holds 5 cards at ¥180 (tax included), and a booster box holds 30 packs, for an official tax-included box release price of ¥5,400. The set released on January 23, 2026, alongside a separate bundled product — a special card set called 「メガエルレイドex」 (Mega Gallade ex; this is the untranslated Japanese product name, and this set has no official English-language release, so there’s no confirmed English name to give it) at ¥1,980 tax included, with 8 Nihil Zero booster packs plus promos and a coin — which is worth noting only so it isn’t confused with the 30-pack booster box; the two are different products with different contents.
Structurally, Nihil Zero follows the same base-plus-secret-tier layout as the rest of the MEGA era: 80 numbered base cards (001–080), then a secret tier numbered 081 through 117 that climbs through Art Rare, Secret Rare, Special Art Rare, and finally a single Mega Ultra Rare card at the very top of the set.
How the Secret Tier Is Organized
The 37-card secret run isn’t random — it’s organized in blocks by rarity, and within the Secret Rare block, by card type. Reading the numbers in order:
- 081–092 (Art Rare, 12 cards) — full-art Pokemon reprints of cards that also exist as ordinary base-set prints. No Trainer cards appear at this tier.
- 093–100 (Secret Rare, Pokemon block, 8 cards) — ex-suffix Pokemon, including four Mega ex lines (Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex, Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Skarmory ex) and four standard ex Pokemon (Decidueye ex, Salazzle ex, Yveltal ex, Meowth ex).
- 101–104 (Secret Rare, Item block, 4 cards) — Item-class Trainer cards.
- 105–108 (Secret Rare, Supporter block, 4 cards) — Supporter-class Trainer cards, including the set’s two headline Trainer chases.
- 109–110 (Secret Rare, Stadium block, 2 cards) — Stadium-class Trainer cards.
- 111–116 (Special Art Rare, 6 cards) — a smaller, hand-picked re-print of six of the strongest Secret Rare cards above (three of the four Mega ex lines, Meowth ex, and both headline Supporters), now in an alternate full-art treatment.
- 117 (Ultra Rare / MUR, 1 card) — Mega Zygarde ex, in a gold-etched treatment exclusive to this single number.
Worth noting: not every Secret Rare gets promoted to Special Art Rare. Decidueye ex, Salazzle ex, Yveltal ex, and Skarmory ex all stop at SR (093, 094, 098, 099) with no SAR reprint, while Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex, Mega Zygarde ex, Meowth ex, Rosa’s Encouragement, and Jacinthe each get both an SR and an SAR version.

Row 101/080 (エネルギーリサイクル) is included for numbering completeness, but its English name is unconfirmed in our source data — we’ve left it as “unconfirmed” rather than guess at a translation.
Note on 081–092 rarity naming: Limitless TCG’s own database labels this tier “Double Rare”/”Art Rare” depending on convention; we follow the Art Rare label used consistently across our MEGA-era coverage. For a curated breakdown of which of these 37 cards actually move in the secondary market, see our Nihil Zero best cards and rarity breakdown.
Chase Cards Worth Watching
With 37 secret-tier cards, most collectors are really tracking a handful of names. Here are the six that come up most often in our own inventory and in community discussion of this set.
Rosa’s Encouragement (メイのはげまし) is the set’s standout Supporter chase, printed at both SR (107/080) and SAR (115/080). It’s also our highest-value graded anchor in the set: a PSA 10 SAR copy is currently listed at ¥34,848 (~$237) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), and a PSA 10 SR copy (107/080) is currently listed at ¥9,236 (~$63) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
Meowth ex (ニャースex) gets an SR (100/080) and an SAR (114/080), no separate base-set-adjacent double print — a clean two-print line for a character-driven ex.
Decidueye ex (ジュナイパーex) is an Alola-starter evolution line and stops at SR (093/080), with no SAR in this set.
Jacinthe (ユカリ) rounds out the Supporter chases at SR (108/080) and SAR (116/080), tracking alongside Rosa’s Encouragement as the set’s two headline Trainer pulls.
The Mega Zygarde ex Line
Mega Zygarde ex is Nihil Zero’s flagship — the character that anchors the set’s promotional identity and the card that closes out the number range at 117/080. It’s printed four times across the set: a base-tier RR at 046/080, then the secret-tier climb through SR (097/080), SAR (113/080), and the gold Mega Ultra Rare at 117/080.
A PSA 10 copy of the 113/080 Special Art Rare (last listed at ¥7,612, ~$52) is sold out as of September 1, 2026 — when in stock, it has been the accessible entry point into the flagship’s graded market, well below what the MUR print typically commands.
For a deeper dive on how Nihil Zero’s chase cards stack up against the rest of the MEGA era, our M3 Nihil Zero complete guide covers set context and collecting strategy beyond this card-by-card list.
Box Configuration & Pricing
Nihil Zero is an Expansion Pack, not a High Class Pack: 5 cards per pack, 30 packs per box, at an official tax-included pack price of ¥180. That works out to an official tax-included box release price of ¥5,400 in Japan.
Our own currently listed price for the booster box sits above that domestic release figure, which is typical for imported sealed product shipped internationally rather than sold at a domestic Japanese retail counter. We’re not claiming a price advantage over the domestic release price here — the ¥5,400 figure is what the box cost at a Japanese retail counter in January 2026, not a live market comparison.
Each box works out to 150 individual cards (30 packs × 5 cards), drawn from a pool of 117 unique numbers — meaning a large share of what comes out of any given box will be base-set commons, uncommons, and rares rather than the 37-card secret tier covered above. That’s the standard shape of a MEGA-era Expansion Pack: 5 cards per pack, 30 packs per box, at ¥180 per pack.

Where Nihil Zero Fits in the MEGA Era
Nihil Zero is a Japan-only print run — there is no separate English-language release of this set, so there’s no English counterpart card list to compare against here. Every name in the table above is a Limitless TCG translation of the Japanese card, not an official English print.
The set followed Mega Symphonia (M1S) and Mega Dream ex (M2a) in the MEGA-era release calendar, continuing the same base-plus-secret-tier structure while introducing its own flagship line in Mega Zygarde ex. The same-day bundled special set — 「メガエルレイドex」 (Mega Gallade ex; JP product name, no official EN name), at ¥1,980 tax included for 8 Nihil Zero booster packs plus promos and a coin — is a separate product from the 30-pack booster box and shouldn’t be confused with it if you’re comparing listings.
If you’re comparing across the era, our box-buying comparison against M4 Ninja Spinner is the most direct next read, and our complete guide to Nihil Zero covers the set’s broader collecting context beyond this number-by-number list.
How to Identify Which Print You Have
Because several names repeat across two or even three rarity tiers in this set — Mega Zygarde ex appears at SR, SAR, and MUR; Rosa’s Encouragement appears at both SR and SAR — the safest way to identify a specific card is the printed number in the bottom corner, not the artwork or the Pokemon name alone.
Every card in the table above is numbered against a denominator of 080 (the base-set count), so “097/080” and “113/080” are two physically different cards of the same Pokemon rather than two copies of the same card. If you’re checking a copy against this list, match the full number — including the slash and denominator — before matching on name or artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cards are in Nihil Zero (M3)?
117 total: 80 numbered base cards plus a 37-card secret tier (081/080 through 117/080), as catalogued by Limitless TCG as of August 2026.
What is the rarest card in Nihil Zero?
Mega Zygarde ex at 117/080, the set’s single Mega Ultra Rare (MUR) — the top of a four-print Zygarde ex line that also includes a base RR (046/080), an SR (097/080), and an SAR (113/080).
What does MUR mean, and how is it different from SAR or SR?
MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) is the single gold flagship-tier card at the very top of a MEGA-era set’s number range — Limitless TCG’s own database label for this card is “Ultra Rare.” SAR (Special Art Rare) and SR (Secret Rare) are separate, more populous tiers below it in the same secret-card run: Nihil Zero has 18 Secret Rares and 6 Special Art Rares before reaching its single MUR.
Is there an English version of Nihil Zero (M3)?
No. Nihil Zero is a Japan-only print run with no separate English-language release, so there is no official English card list to compare it against.
Is “Munikis Zero” the same set as “Nihil Zero”?
Yes. The official Japanese product name is ムニキスゼロ (Munikis Zero), which is how our own product listing is titled. “Nihil Zero” is the community English title used across most of our existing blog coverage of this set, and both names refer to the same product.
