Mewtwo · Brilliant Stars, what to know.
About the Mewtwo card
Mewtwo sits at #56 in Brilliant Stars, released in February 2022. Brilliant Stars is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. Illustration by Anesaki Dynamic.
The flavor text on the card reads: "A Pokémon created by recombining Mew's genes. It's said to have the most savage heart among Pokémon." Pokédex entries from this era are short and often quirky, written by the original Japanese localization team for a specific stat-block layout that no longer exists in modern cards.
About Mewtwo in the Pokémon world
The cloned psychic Legendary Pokémon. Final boss of the original Red and Blue. Famous for the first Pokémon movie. Base Set holo Mewtwo is one of the most accessible Base Set holos and frequently recommended as a first vintage graded purchase. The 1st Edition print is in steady demand.
Print variants and how to spot them
Brilliant Stars shipped in Holofoil, Reverse Holo, V, VSTAR, Trainer Gallery, and Rainbow Rare. Trainer Gallery cards are numbered TG01 onwards as a parallel subset. The Charizard VSTAR Rainbow Rare is the headline chase.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, modern Rares grade easily but the secondary market for graded modern non-holo Rares is thin. The math rarely justifies submission unless the card is a tournament staple or the Pokémon has independent collector traction.
If you are buying this card
For raw purchases of this card, verify centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface scratches under angled light. Modern Rares are inexpensive in raw and graded condition; submission math rarely works unless the card has independent collector demand.
