This guide focuses on two verified M Venusaur EX treatments from CP6, the concept pack Pokemon released for its own 20th anniversary. One is numbered inside CP6’s main run, while the other is the higher-numbered Secret Rare anchor covered here.
The card is M Venusaur EX (Mega Venusaur-EX), a Mega Evolution Pokemon that evolves from Venusaur-EX. Our anchor listing is the Secret Rare print at 089/087, graded PSA 10 and tagged :1ED for its Japanese 1st Edition mark, from the concept pack « 20th Anniversary » — set code CP6. This guide covers the card itself, both of its confirmed CP6 prints, the set’s place in the Japanese 1st Edition timeline, and their English counterparts.
One disambiguation up front: this is the 2016 XY-era « M Venusaur EX » from a Concept Pack. It is not the same card as any modern M-series « Mega Venusaur ex » — the naming convention overlaps, but a 2016 Concept Pack print and a current M-series print are separate release lines, and this guide only covers the CP6 card.
Our graded copy of M Venusaur EX SR 089/087 :1ED (CP6) is a PSA 10, currently listed at ¥109,999 (~$692). CP6 has two treatments covered here: the regular-rarity 002/087 and the Secret Rare 089/087. CP6 (September 2016) is the confirmed final Japanese Concept Pack to carry the 1st Edition stamp, closing out a run that started in 2001.

The Card: M Venusaur EX 089/087 SR
M Venusaur EX is a Grass-type card with 230 HP, evolving from Venusaur-EX. Its attack, クライシスバイン (Crisis Vine), costs four energy for 120 damage and applies both Poison and Paralysis. Both confirmed CP6 prints share this HP, type and attack — the difference between them is entirely in rarity and card number. The 089/087 print is illustrated by 5ban Graphics, and its number sits above the set’s « 087 » denominator, which is the standard Japanese convention for marking a card as a secret-slot print rather than part of the set’s main numbered run.
Our own graded copy of this exact print — PSA 10, tagged :1ED for its 1st Edition mark — is currently listed at ¥109,999 (~$692).
Print History: M Venusaur EX Across CP6
The two CP6 treatments covered here were released on the same day. Card #091 in the same set is a different card — M Charizard EX SR — and should not be read as a third CP6 Venusaur treatment; we cover it separately in the rarity-tier section below purely as a structural comparison.
The 002/087 print sits inside CP6’s main numbered run at the Double Rare tier — the standard non-secret treatment for an « EX » card in this generation of Japanese sets. The 089/087 print is the Secret Rare — the secret-slot version, and the one we anchor this guide on.
| Set | Number | Rarity | JP Release |
|---|---|---|---|
| CP6, « 20th Anniversary » | 002/087 | Double Rare | 16 Sep 2016 |
| CP6, « 20th Anniversary » | 089/087 | Secret Rare | 16 Sep 2016 |
Because both prints released on the same day inside the same set, this is not an « original vs reprint » story — the 002/087 and 089/087 are two parallel rarity treatments of one card, not a base print and a later reissue.
The Set: CP6, « 20th Anniversary »
CP6 is the Japanese concept pack コンセプトパック「ポケットモンスターカードゲーム 拡張パック 20th Anniversary」 / Concept Pack « Pokemon Card Game Pack d'extension 20th Anniversary », set code CP6. It released on 16 September 2016 — ahead of the Pokemon TCG’s official 20th-anniversary date of 20 October 2016 — and its presentation was built to recreate the look of the original 1996 Japanese Base Pack d'extension. The set runs to 87 cards in its main numbering, with secret-slot prints like 089/087 numbered above that count.
CP6 sits at the tail end of the XY-era run of Japanese Concept Packs. For the full set-wide breakdown of CP6 beyond this single card, see our Pokemon 20th Anniversary CP6: Complete Guide hub — that guide covers the whole set, while this one is a single-card deep dive on the 089/087 SR. For the wider Concept Pack format itself, across every « CP » release, see our Japanese concept packs (CP) guide.
CP6’s most notable structural feature is its Japanese 1st Edition mark, tagged :1ED on our anchor listing. Per our own site’s 1st Edition research, CP6 (September 2016) is the confirmed final Japanese Concept Pack to carry the 1st Edition stamp — a run that started in 2001 and closes with this exact set. For the full framework behind that claim and how the stamp appears across other Japanese sets, see our Japanese 1st Edition Pokemon cards guide.
Where This Secret Rare Sits Among CP6’s Rarity Tiers
Within CP6, M Venusaur EX’s two confirmed prints sit on two different rungs of the set’s rarity structure: the regular numbered Double Rare at 002/087, and the secret-slot Secret Rare at 089/087. The Secret Rare sits above the Double Rare — a secret-slot print placed outside the set’s main numbering, which is the standard pattern for this era of Japanese sets.
CP6 repeats this exact Double Rare / Secret Rare structure for its other headline « EX » card, M Charizard EX — a Double Rare at 013/087 and a Secret Rare at 091/087. We show both purely as a structural comparison of how CP6 pairs its rarity tiers. These prints are not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through Commande rapide.
For the wider XY-era catalogue of « EX » and « M — EX » cards this set belongs to, see our XY-era EX and Mega EX cards guide. For a broader, multi-era selection of M Venusaur prints beyond CP6, see our Mega Venusaur cards guide; this guide focuses solely on the two CP6 prints above. Note also our separate Venusaur 25th Anniversary 002/025 card guide, which covers a different promo card entirely — a 2021 25th Anniversary print, not a CP6 20th Anniversary print, and not interchangeable with the card on this page.

Foire aux questions
What is M Venusaur EX 089/087 SR from CP6?
It is the Secret Rare print of M Venusaur EX, card 089/087 from the Japanese Concept Pack « 20th Anniversary » (set code CP6), released 16 September 2016. Our graded copy is a PSA 10, tagged :1ED for its Japanese 1st Edition mark, currently listed at ¥109,999 (~$692).
Is this the same card as a modern « Mega Venusaur ex »?
No. This is the 2016 XY-era « M Venusaur EX » from a Concept Pack. Any current M-series « Mega Venusaur ex » card is a separate release line with its own print history — the naming overlaps, but the two are not reprints of one another, and this guide covers only the CP6 card.
What is the difference between the 002/087 and 089/087 prints?
Both are from CP6, released the same day. The 002/087 is a Double Rare print inside the set’s main 87-card numbering; the 089/087 is the Secret Rare, a secret-slot print placed outside that numbering.
What does the 1st Edition (:1ED) mark on this card mean?
It denotes CP6’s Japanese 1st Edition stamp. Per our own research, CP6 (September 2016) is the confirmed final Japanese Concept Pack to carry that stamp, closing a run that began in 2001. Our anchor listing for the 089/087 SR is tagged :1ED for this reason.
Does M Venusaur EX have an English print?
Yes. The CP6 002/087 treatment corresponds to Evolutions #2, while CP6 089/087 corresponds to the Full Art print at Evolutions #100. The English cards are a separate print line from the CP6 Japanese treatments on this page.
Where can I buy a PSA 10 M Venusaur EX from Tokyo?
Our graded 089/087 SR copy is currently listed at ¥109,999 (~$692) with tracked shipping from Tokyo. We also list a Special Deck Set featuring the wider ex trio at ¥40,000.
