RATING: Mega Rayquaza ex SAR = 3.7/10
This was supposed to be the card.
First Mega Rayquaza in a modern era set.
This is a Pokémon with one of the strongest legacies in the hobby (Gold Star, Emerald Break, Blue Sky Stream).
They had SO MUCH to work with, from Sky Pillar to the Delta Episode to Groudon vs Kyogre and even Deoxys.
Instead, we get Rayquaza lost inside a green-and-gold VFX overload that just feels like an AI-generated card.
Yes, it looks expensive but imo it does not have the personality to become a memorable card.
Big let down.

New series: I’m rating Pokémon cards from 0 to 10 based purely on my own taste (not price, rarity, hype or what the market tells me to like). The ratings will be harsh, subjective and probably controversial. You’re allowed to disagree ofc. In fact, I’m counting on it.
