A closer look

Reading this card

The name carries the clue: lowercase "ex" means the 2023 version of the Pokémon ex group. Earlier eras used Pokémon-ex and Pokémon-EX, so the spelling helps you date the card at a glance. The stage says Basic and the type is Psychic, so this card can start a game.

The rarity marker says Double Rare, a modern label for Pokémon ex in the Scarlet & Violet era, marked with two stars. It is not one of the Illustration Rare styles, where the artwork stretches across the card.

Next, look for the Ability. It is a special effect that is not an attack, and on this card it supports drawing cards. The number 151 in the set name matches Mew's place in the original Pokédex.

How it compares

Take Mewtwo from Base Set. Both are Basic Psychic Pokémon from the first video games. The older card has a Holo Rare label and a Pokémon Power. Mew ex has a Double Rare label, an Ability and an extra-Prize rule.

Then compare it with Charizard ex, which shares the set and rarity but is a Stage 2 Fire card. That pair shows that a Basic and a Stage 2 can sit side by side in one rarity. For the set story, read Scarlet & Violet—151.
