FAQ
Which set and rarity contains Mega Lucario ex?
Mega Lucario ex appears in the Mega Evolution expansion (me1) as Double Rare and Illustration Rare. The most sought-after version is the Illustration Rare (~10% of the rare+ slot ÷ number of IRs in the set).
Does the Lucario figure box improve pull rates?
No. The Mega Lucario ex figure box contains 4–6 standard me1 boosters. Odds are identical to an ETB. The advantage is the figure and exclusive promo, not different pull rates.

With ~10% of the rare+ slot for IRs and roughly 8 Illustration Rares in me1, individual probability is ~1.25% per pack (~1 every 80 packs). A 9-pack ETB gives ~11% cumulative chance.
