Mewtwo GX is not one card — it is eight documented Japanese prints spread across two eras, several rarity tiers most collectors have never seen side by side, and one movie tie-in that most price guides overlook entirely.
If someone says « Mewtwo GX » they could mean the plain RR from Shining Legends, the hyper-rare Shining (☆) secret from the same set, or the Detective Pikachu movie promo — three completely different cards that share a name and a base spec (HP 190, Psychic type). This guide separates all eight documented Japanese prints, explains exactly what « 082/072 » and « 017/024 » refer to, and tells you where the Shining print sits relative to its regular-rarity sibling from the same set.
Our reference points here are two of our own PSA 10 listings: the Shining Legends 082/072 Shining, which is not listed on our site at the moment (sourcing requests go through Quick Order), and the SMP2 « Great Detective Pikachu » 017/024 RR, currently listed at ¥27,500 (~$173). Exchange rate used throughout: ¥159/USD (September 2026).
Eight Japanese Mewtwo GX prints are documented. The one currently available from us is the SMP2 017/024 RR (Detective Pikachu), PSA 10, listed at ¥27,500 (~$173). We also carry the related Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex P 043/M-P at ¥22,440 (~$141). The rarest print in the lineup, the Shining Legends 082/072 Shining, is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
The Card: Mewtwo GX 082/072 (mise à jour : épuisé — demande de réassort via Quick Order) Shining
The card most collectors mean when they say « the Mewtwo GX chase card » is 082/072 from SM3+ Shining Legends (シャイニングレジェンド), printed at Shining (☆) rarity — a legacy hyper-rare tier unique to this set. Secondary catalogues shorthand it « SR, » but the tier printed on the card itself is Shining.
The illustrator for this specific print is Mitsuhiro Arita, which is worth noting because it differs from the illustrator on the set’s regular-rarity Mewtwo GX (see the next section). Like every Mewtwo GX print covered here, the base stat line is HP 190, Psychic type.
Its number places it outside the main 72-card body of Shining Legends — the « /072 » denotes the set’s core count, and 082 sits in the secret-rare block printed above that total, the same numbering convention used for the set’s other Shining-rarity cards.

Every Japanese Mewtwo GX Print
Eight Japanese prints of Mewtwo GX are documented. Four are confirmed directly on Limitless TCG, via multiple independent retail catalogues, or via our own listings (040/072 RR, 075/072 SR, 082/072 Shining, 017/024 RR); the other four — 080/072 HR plus three later reprints — are documented only on Bulbapedia and are flagged as such below.
040/072 RR — SM3+ Shining Legends
This is the set’s regular-rarity Mewtwo GX — RR (Double Rare), illustrated by 5ban Graphics. It is a completely different piece of art from the 082/072 Shining above, despite sharing a set and a card name. Confirmed directly on Limitless TCG.
082/072 Shining — SM3+ Shining Legends
Covered in full above. Limitless TCG’s Japanese database for this set only indexes local cards #1–77, so this secret-rare print is not separately paged there; verification for this specific card rests on Bulbapedia’s print-history table plus four independent retail catalogues that all list it identically as « SM3+ 082/072. »
075/072 SR and 080/072 HR — SM3+ Shining Legends
Two further Mewtwo GX rarities sit between the regular RR and the Shining secret in the same set. 075/072 is printed at SR (Secret Rare), illustrated by 5ban Graphics, and is confirmed directly on Limitless TCG. 080/072 is printed at HR (Rainbow Rare secret), also illustrated by 5ban Graphics per Bulbapedia’s print-history table; Limitless TCG does not separately page this print, consistent with the 082/072 Shining print above. Both are numbered above the set’s 72-card core.
017/024 RR — SMP2 « Great Detective Pikachu »
This print comes from the movie tie-in pack for Detective Pikachu, and its illustration is credited to MPC Film — a movie-still-based treatment that is visually distinct from both Shining Legends prints. It is confirmed directly on Limitless TCG, including name, number, rarity, HP, type, illustrator and set. This exact print is currently listed as a PSA 10:
Three further prints (Bulbapedia-sourced only)
Bulbapedia’s print-history table also lists three older or reprint releases of Mewtwo GX. These are not independently verified on Limitless TCG, so treat the details below as secondary-source only:
| Number | Rarity | JP release | Source | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GX Battle Boost (reprint) | 036/114 | RR | not confirmed | Bulbapedia only |
| Psychic Mewtwo-GX Starter Deck | 042/131 | Non-Holofoil | not confirmed | Bulbapedia only |
| GX Ultra Shiny | 219/150 (mise à jour : épuisé — demande de réassort via Quick Order) | SSR | not confirmed | Bulbapedia only |
The GX Battle Boost printing is a reprint of the regular-art Mewtwo GX rather than a new illustration. None of these three carries a Limitless-verified JP set code in our source pack, so we’re not attaching release dates to them here.
| # | Set | Number | Rarity | JP release |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SM3+ Shining Legends | 040/072 | RR | 2017-07-15 |
| 2 | SM3+ Shining Legends | 075/072 | SR | 2017-07-15 |
| 3 | SM3+ Shining Legends | 080/072 | HR | 2017-07-15 |
| 4 | SM3+ Shining Legends | 082/072 | Shining (☆) | 2017-07-15 |
| 5 | SMP2 Movie Special Pack | 017/024 | RR | 2019-04-26 |
| 6 | GX Battle Boost | 036/114 | RR | not confirmed |
| 7 | GX Starter Deck | 042/131 | Non-Holofoil | not confirmed |
| 8 | GX Ultra Shiny | 219/150 | SSR | not confirmed |
Do not conflate row 1 (040/072 RR) with row 4 (082/072 Shining) — they share a set and a card name but are visually distinct prints with different illustrators.
The Sets: Shining Legends and SMP2
SM3+ Shining Legends (シャイニングレジェンド)
Shining Legends is a Sun & Moon-era Pack d'extension amélioré, released in Japan on 2017-07-15. Its Limitless internal set code is SM3p. The set’s core body runs to 72 cards — reflected in the « /072 » on all four Mewtwo GX prints from this set — with the SR, HR, and Shining-rarity secret cards (075/072, 080/072, 082/072) numbered above that total.
SMP2 — Movie Special Pack « Great Detective Pikachu » (ムービースペシャルパック「名探偵ピカチュウ」)
SMP2 is a movie tie-in promotional pack released in Japan on 2019-04-26 (per Pokemon’s official product page), sitting in the same Sun & Moon era as Shining Legends but distributed as a standalone movie promo rather than a mainline expansion. Its core count of 24 cards is reflected in the « /024 » on the Mewtwo GX print.
Where This Print Sits on the Rarity Ladder
Across the eight documented Japanese Mewtwo GX prints, six distinct rarity tiers appear: Non-Holofoil (the starter-deck print), RR (Double Rare) (040/072, 017/024, and the GX Battle Boost reprint), SR (Secret Rare) (075/072), HR (Rainbow Rare secret) (080/072), SSR (GX Ultra Shiny), and Shining (☆) (082/072). Within Japanese GX-era releases, Shining is a hyper-rare secret tier reserved for a small number of cards per set, sitting above the SR, HR, and standard RR tiers the rest of the Mewtwo GX prints use.

Foire aux questions
How many Japanese Mewtwo GX prints are there?
Eight. Four come from SM3+ Shining Legends (040/072 RR, 075/072 SR, 080/072 HR, and 082/072 Shining), one from SMP2’s Detective Pikachu movie pack (017/024 RR), and three further reprints — GX Battle Boost, a Psychic Mewtwo-GX starter deck, and GX Ultra Shiny — documented on Bulbapedia only.
What’s the difference between Mewtwo GX 040/072 and 082/072?
Both are from SM3+ Shining Legends and share a card name, but they are different prints. 040/072 is the set’s regular RR (Double Rare), illustrated by 5ban Graphics. 082/072 is a Shining (☆) rarity secret card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, numbered above the set’s 72-card core.
Is the Shining Legends 082/072 Mewtwo GX currently available?
Not at the moment — this print is not listed on our site currently. Sourcing requests for it go through Quick Order.
What set is the Detective Pikachu Mewtwo GX from?
SMP2, a Movie Special Pack tied to the 2019 Detective Pikachu film, released in Japan on 2019-04-26. The card is numbered 017/024 at RR (Double Rare) rarity, illustrated by MPC Film using a movie-still-based treatment.
Does the SMP2 017/024 Mewtwo GX have an English version?
We found no English-market equivalent for this specific print in our source material — SMP2 was a Japan-only movie promotional release. The 082/072 Shining print, by contrast, has a closest English equivalent in Shining Legends 78/73, « Rare Secret » (Shining Holo).
Which Mewtwo GX print is the rarest?
Among the eight documented Japanese prints, the SM3+ Shining Legends 082/072 Shining is the top rarity tier represented, sitting above the SR (075/072), HR (080/072), and RR tiers used by the other Shining Legends and SMP2 prints.
