What and When to Expect the Mega Shine Drop?
Apart from the poster character of Mega Shine, a Mega Charizard X ex is also coming to the game, alongside a Shiny version of the Pokémon, also in full art design.
Mega Genger ex's regular and Shiny variant brings the "Labyrinth of Shadows" attack, which deals 120 damage (requires 3 Dark energy and 1 Colorless energy) to opponents and prevents them from using any Trainer cards on their next hand.
That said, Mega Gengar ex only has 210 HP, which is relatively low compared to other ex.
