Ultra rare pokémon card revealed in mega evolution — perfect order expansion

The highly anticipated Mega Evolution — Perfect Order expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game has unveiled its first-ever Mega Evolved ex creature, sending shockwaves through the community. Meet Mega Skarmory ex, a behemoth boasting 260 HP and the formidable special attack Sonic Ripper.

Mega skarmory ex: a steel titan with devastating power

Sonic Ripper requires two Steel energy and one Colorless energy to unleash. But be warned, this move comes with a major trade-off: you'll need to shuffle all the energy attached to Mega Skarmory into your deck. In return, you'll be able to deal a massive 220 damage to any one of your opponent's Pokémon, including those benched.

As a Steel-type, Mega Skarmory is doubly weak to Electric attacks and possesses a -30 resistance to Fighting moves. This card marks a monumental shift for the Pokémon TCG, as it's the first set centered around Mega Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A last year.

The Mega Evolution — Perfect Order expansion is set to release on March 27, accompanied by cards based on Mega Clefable and Mega Zygarde. For more on the 2026 Pokémon TCG release schedule and where to pre-order Perfect Order, check out IGN's comprehensive guide.
