Mewtwo has been a chase card in the Japanese Pokemon TCG since the very first expansion pack in 1996, and three decades later it’s still headlining new sets, and the Mewtwo full art cards covered here are UR, SAR and AR prints. The catch is how many distinct Mewtwo cards exist — ex, GX, VSTAR, promo, and vintage prints across a dozen-plus releases, several of which get confused with cards that don’t exist at all.
We ship Japanese singles and sealed product out of Tokyo.
The current chase print is Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex UR [SV10 130/098, Glory of Team Rocket, 2025].

Mewtwo Full Art Cards: The Japanese UR, SAR and AR 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. The Mewtwo full art cards covered here are UR, SAR and AR prints:
| Card | Set mark · number | Rarity | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex | SV10 · 130/098 | UR | sold out at the time of this update |
| Mewtwo & Mew GX | SM12a · 222/173 | UR | not listed |
| Mewtwo VSTAR | S10b · 091/071 | UR | not listed |

#1: Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex UR (SV10 130/098)
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex (ロケット団のミュウツーex) is the marquee card from 拡張パック「ロケット団の栄光」 (EN: “Glory of Team Rocket”), set code SV10, released April 18, 2025. The set prints this card twice: a base RR at 039/098, and an Ultra Rare alt-art at 130/098 — numbered above the 098-card base set, the standard convention for a set’s top chase print. It’s a Basic Psychic-type Pokemon, 280 HP, whose Ability and attack are built around the set’s Team Rocket synergy theme rather than as a standalone attacker.
Japanese secondary-market asking prices as of August 2026: the raw UR (130/098) card was asking around ¥8,500, and PSA 10 graded cards ¥25,500 / ¥26,500 / ¥30,000 / ¥31,000.
The SV10 Glory of Team Rocket booster box Sealed option is currently listed at ¥25,757 (~$167).
For more on how this set’s Team Rocket theme cards are trading as a group, see our Team Rocket Japanese PSA 10 cards guide.
#2: Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Promo (043/M-P)
A second, separate Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex exists as promo card 043/M-P, part of the new MEGA-era promo pool. This is not a set pull — it was distributed as a victory prize at Champions League 2026 Yokohama to players who reached four or more match wins (“勻利谓１”), per the official Champions League prize announcement. There is no retail sale channel.
Because it shares a name and illustration family with the SV10 print above but comes from a different distribution channel (tournament prize versus booster pack), the two cards are tracked separately. If a listing just says “Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex” without a number, check for “M-P” before assuming it’s the SV10 version.
#3: Mewtwo & Mew GX (SM12a 052/173 & 222/173)
Mewtwo & Mew GX (ミュウツー&ミュウGX) comes from ハイクラスパック「タッグオールスターズ」 (Tag All Stars), set code SM12a. The base RR print is at 052/173; the set also carries a UR alt-art at 222/173. A Basic Psychic-type Tag Team with 270 HP, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, its Ability “Perfection” borrows any GX or EX attack from a Pokemon on your Bench or Discard pile — and like every Tag Team GX, a knockout hands the opponent 3 Prize cards instead of the usual one.
Searching “Mewtwo & Mew GX” can also surface a separate, earlier print — card 029/094 from 拡張パック「ミラクルツイン」 (Miracle Twin). Same name, different set. Some older summaries also place it inside SM9 タッグボルト (Tag Bolt) — that set’s own card list doesn’t actually contain it, so treat an SM9 listing as a mislabel.
#4: Mewtwo GX, Detective Pikachu Movie Pack (SMP2 017/024)
Solo Mewtwo GX (ミュウツーGX) — no Mew, no Tag Team — comes from ムービースペシャルパック「名探偵ピカチュウ」 (Movie Special Pack “Detective Pikachu”), set code SMP2, card number 017/024, rarity RR — the tie-in set for the 2019 live-action Pokemon film, per the official card database.
As a movie-era solo GX rather than a mainline chase card, it trades in a narrower niche than the Team Rocket or Tag Team GX prints above it. For the other Japanese Mewtwo GX prints, see our Mewtwo GX card guide and Mewtwo GX PSA 10 guide.
#5: Mewtwo VSTAR (S10b & S12a)
Mewtwo VSTAR (ミュウツーVSTAR) originally printed in 強化拡張パック「Pokémon GO」, set code S10b (2022), at card number 031/071, with a UR variant at 091/071. HP 280, illustrated by PLANETA Mochizuki. It later got a second life as a 221/172 SAR (Special Art Rare) reprint in ハイクラスパック「VSTARユニバース」 (VSTAR Universe), set code S12a, released December 2, 2022.
The SAR reprint’s VSTAR Power “スターレイド” (Star Raid) hits every opposing Pokemon V for 120, ignoring Weakness and Resistance, with the standard VSTAR tradeoff of giving up 2 Prize cards on knockout.
#6: Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex, Base Print (SV10 039/098)
The other half of the SV10 pairing: the RR-tier 039/098 print, same card name and Ability/attack text as the 130/098 UR at #1, minus the alt-art treatment. It’s the more accessible entry point if you want the card without chasing the alt-art number.
#7: Armored Mewtwo (Movie Theater Promo)
Armored Mewtwo (アーマードミュウツー) is an official promo in the Pokemon card database, distributed exclusively through Japanese movie theaters showing 劇場版ポケットモンスター ミュウツーの逆襲 EVOLUTION (Mewtwo Strikes Back — Evolution), with reportedly no reprint or wider redistribution since. Verify the printed number on any copy before assuming it matches another variant.
#8: Mega Mewtwo EX (2015 Blue Shock, 026/059)
Mega Mewtwo EX (メガミュウツーEX) is a 2015 card from XY BREAK 拡張パック「青い衝撃」 (EN: “Blue Shock”), card number 026/059, rarity RR, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, per the official card database. It uses the old “Mega Evolution” mechanic from the XY era — a different game system entirely from the “メガシンカex” (Mega Evolution ex) mechanic the new 2025–26 “Pokémon Card Game MEGA” series introduced. Collectors sometimes assume this 2015 card is the same thing as a new-series Mega Mewtwo ex — it isn’t.
#9–10: The 151 Reprint and the 1996 Original
Two more Mewtwo prints in this ranking:
The SV2a 183/165 print is the plain, non-ex Mewtwo — an AR (Art Rare) — from 強化拡張パック「ポケモンカード151」 (2023). The 1st Expansion Pack print at 050/096 dates to October 20, 1996, the release month of Japan’s very first Pokemon TCG expansion — direct ancestor of the English “Base Set,” which followed in January 1999 with a different card pool and numbering. Both are genuine collector pieces on scarcity and historical grounds.
Mewtwo ex in the 151 Set: A Common Mix-Up
A Mewtwo card that gets searched for constantly does not exist:
- “Mewtwo ex SAR in the 151 set.” SV2a has no Mewtwo ex, SAR or otherwise. That set’s SAR-rarity Legendary is Mew ex (205/165) — a different Pokemon. SV2a’s actual Mewtwo is the non-ex AR at 183/165.
PSA 10 vs Raw: Is Grading Worth It for Mewtwo?
For the lead card, the PSA 10 asking cluster as of August 2026 sits at roughly 3x the raw ask, in line with other current chase prints. Grading fees, turnaround time, and the risk of a lower grade all factor into whether that gap is worth paying. Our PSA 10 vs raw Japanese Pokemon cards guide covers that tradeoff in depth, and our Japanese PSA 10 price guide compares graded premiums across characters beyond Mewtwo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Mewtwo cards are full art?
The Mewtwo full art cards in this ranking are the UR Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex (SV10 130/098), the UR Mewtwo & Mew GX (SM12a 222/173), the UR Mewtwo VSTAR (S10b 091/071), the SAR Mewtwo VSTAR (S12a 221/172) and the AR Mewtwo (SV2a 183/165) from the 151 set.
Which is the most valuable Mewtwo card?
As of August 2026, Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex UR [SV10 130/098] carried the highest PSA 10 asking prices of the prints covered here.
Is Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex worth anything?
Yes. The UR print [SV10 130/098] is the lead chase card of this ranking. A separate promo version [043/M-P], distributed as a Champions League 2026 Yokohama tournament prize, is a different, non-retail print of the same card name and trades in its own market.
What sets is Mewtwo & Mew GX in?
Prints covered here include SM12a “Tag All Stars” at 052/173 (RR) and 222/173 (UR alt-art), and an earlier, separate print in the Miracle Twin expansion pack at 029/094. These are easy to mix up when searching the official card database by name alone, since a name search can surface any of them.
Is it safe to buy Japanese Mewtwo cards from overseas?
Buying from a Japan-based seller with international shipping is the standard approach for collectors outside Japan, since it gives you a direct line to the same secondary market these ask prices are drawn from rather than a marked-up reseller layer.
Is a PSA 10 Mewtwo card worth the premium over raw?
It depends on your goal. As of August 2026, the PSA 10 asking cluster on the lead card was roughly 3x the raw ask, which is typical for this price bracket. Grading adds cost, time, and some risk of a lower grade, so whether it’s worth it comes down to whether you want a graded, tamper-evident slab or a raw card in a sleeve.
