Two Mew ex cards live inside Pokémon Card 151, and it is easy to grab the wrong one when you are shopping by name alone. Card #208 is the Ultra Rare print — a secret-tier pull numbered well past the set’s 165-card main run — and it is the one this guide covers.
If you already own a copy, or you are deciding whether to add a PSA 10 example to a collection, this page sets out exactly what card 208/165 is, what is printed on it, where it sits in the SV2a numbering, and how to tell it apart from its similarly-named SAR sibling from the same set.
Mew ex UR 208/165 is a Psychic-type, 180 HP Basic Pokémon from Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a), released 16 June 2023. It is a separate card from the Mew ex SAR 205/165 in the same set — different card number, different rarity tier. We currently have a PSA 10 graded copy listed at ¥25,960 (~$163) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
Prices below are in Japanese yen with approximate USD conversions at ¥159/USD (September 2026).
What Is Mew ex UR 208/165?
Mew ex (Japanese: ミュウex) is card #208 in the Japanese Pokémon Card 151 expansion, printed at rarity UR (Ultra Rare). The card number itself is the first clue you are looking at the right print: 208 sits well beyond the set’s 165-card main run, which is where Pokémon Card 151’s secret and chase-tier cards are numbered.
It is a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon with 180 HP, meaning it goes straight onto the field with no evolution requirement. The “ex” suffix marks it as part of the modern Scarlet & Violet-era ex card line, and the 208/165 numbering is what separates this specific Ultra Rare print from every other Mew card in the same release.
Card Stats, Ability and Attack
The card carries 180 HP as a Basic Pokémon, sitting in a Psychic-type line that plays without any setup turn. Its printed ability is 「リスタート」 (Restart), and its attack is listed as 「ゲノムハック」 (Genome Hack).
Those two named moves are the mechanical identity of this specific print, and they are worth checking against any listing photo or grading label you’re comparing. Matching the ability name, the attack name, the 180 HP line, and the 208/165 number together is a more reliable way to confirm a card than relying on a rarity badge alone, since badges can be small or hard to photograph clearly.
Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a): Where This Card Comes From
Pokémon Card 151 is a Japanese expansion built around the original 151 Pokémon, released 16 June 2023 with a total of 210 cards. The main set runs to 165 cards, and everything numbered above that — including 208/165 — belongs to the set’s secret and Ultra Rare chase tier rather than the standard collection.
Mew ex is not the only high-numbered pull from this release. The chase tier also includes a Mewtwo AR (183/165), and the set as a whole works through the original Kanto Pokédex, which is the entire theme behind Pokémon Card 151. For the complete numbered checklist, see our Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) card list and our broader Pokémon 151 Japanese card list.
Both cards above come from the same SV2a print run and share the “151” theme with Mew ex 208/165. They are shown here for set context only, not as substitutes for the UR print this guide covers.
UR vs SAR: Two Different Mew ex Chase Cards
Pokémon Card 151 prints Mew ex twice, at two different rarities, and the two are easy to mix up in a search result or a binder photo.
| Card number | Rarity | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mew ex UR | 208/165 | Ultra Rare | Subject of this guide |
| Mew ex SAR | 205/165 | Special Art Rare | Separate print, separate listing — not covered here |
The two prints sit only three card numbers apart (205 versus 208) and carry different rarity codes. If you are buying, selling, or simply cataloguing what you own, confirm the exact number printed on the card rather than the name alone — “Mew ex” by itself does not tell you which of the two prints you are holding.
Look at the number fraction printed on the card, not just the rarity symbol. 205/165 and 208/165 are two different products, and confusing them can mean paying for — or selling — the wrong card.
What PSA 10 Means for This Card
PSA 10 is the top grade on PSA’s ten-point scale, and it is what turns a raw modern chase card into a graded collectible with a fixed, independently-assessed condition record attached to it. For a full walkthrough of how Japanese cards get submitted and graded, see our Japanese Pokémon card grading guide.
For Mew ex 208/165 specifically, the practical point is simpler: a PSA 10 slab removes the guesswork that comes with buying a raw copy sight unseen, since centering, corners, edges and surface have already been checked and encapsulated by a third party. We currently have one graded example listed (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — see the full details in the where-to-buy section below.
How It Compares to Other Japanese Chase Cards
Mew ex 208/165 sits in the same general collecting category as other numbered Japanese Ultra Rares and Secret Rares — cards printed above a set’s main run and produced in smaller volume than the base set. Our PSA 10 Mew and Mewtwo Japanese cards buying guide covers the wider Mew/Mewtwo lineup across multiple sets if you are weighing this print against other options.
The Pikachu promo card above is not part of Pokémon Card 151 — it belongs to a separate promotional card pool, and it is included here only to show how a Japanese promo-tier card looks and prints differently from a numbered set chase card like Mew ex 208/165. Neither the number, the set, nor the rarity carry over between the two.
