Every Mega Absol card

The short version

Mega Absol has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across three expansions — the earliest in Mega Rising and the most recent in Promo B. It is a Basic Darkness-type Pokémon with 170 HP, weak to Grass, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to four rarities — two Double Rares, one Super Rare, one Special Art Rare and one Shiny Super Rare. The hardest to pull is the Shiny Super Rare from Pulsing Aura, at about 1 in 479 packs, or 1,350 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,103 packs, which is about 1.5 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Pulsing Aura and Mega Gyarados packs. The most recent is Mega Absol ex #009, from an expansion that shipped in October 2025. That printing attacks with Darkness Claw for 80. It has been drawn by two artists, PLANETA CG Works more than anyone else with four cards.
