A rule box card carries a printed rule that hands the opponent an extra prize card when it is knocked out. 64 of the 188 cards in Mega Evolution carry one.

The count is read from the printed rule on the card face, so it covers ex, V, GX and every other rule box wording without needing a list of names.

Counted across all 188 Mega Evolution cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 35.6% of the set. The thicker that layer is, the less it costs to put a first deck together — the frame gets built out of cards that fall out of packs, and the scarce ones are kept for the slots that decide a game.

Mega Evolution prints 8 rarities, and the top three fill 70.2% of the set between them. The other 5 split the remaining 56 cards, which is the usual shape: the scarcer the tier, the more tiers there are and the fewer cards sit in each.

By energy type the set leans on Grass with 25 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Dragon with 4. A gap of 21 cards between the widest and the narrowest type is what decides whether this set can start a deck of any colour or only feeds two of them.

How much HP and damage Mega Evolution Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Mega Evolution card prints the same number or they run from one end of the scale to the other. These five points show which of the two is happening.

These rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so each bar is read on its own.

Cards with an Ability	16.0%	30 cards
Cards with a special rule	34.0%	64 cards

A card that costs three energy or more to retreat is stuck in practice: paying it empties the board of the energy that was meant to attack. 30 of the 188 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 9 cards retreat for free. Those are the ones that open a game, because moving them out costs nothing that was going to be spent on an attack.

The rows above add up to 152 cards. The remaining 36 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.
