This isn't just a new set; it's a fundamental shift that promises to redefine gameplay and, crucially, the landscape for collectors and graders.
Dual-Type cards will allow Pokémon to possess two distinct types simultaneously, opening up unprecedented strategic depth and creating unique card designs.

Expect these cards to feature stunning artwork and immediately become high-priority targets for players and collectors alike.
What This Means for Collectors & Graders
The introduction of Dual-Type cards, particularly with a powerhouse like Mega Mewtwo X EX leading the charge, has significant implications for the secondary market and your collection strategy:
- **Increased Rarity and Value:** New mechanics often lead to heightened demand. Initial Dual-Type cards, especially powerful or fan-favorite Pokémon like Mega Mewtwo X EX, are likely to become instant chase cards. Their unique design and strategic importance could drive up their market value significantly, making pristine copies highly coveted.
- **New Collecting Goals:** Collectors will now face new challenges and opportunities. Will you aim for complete sets of Dual-Type cards? Focus on specific type combinations? Or simply prioritize securing the most iconic EX cards in the best possible condition? This mechanic adds another layer of complexity and excitement to collecting.
- **Grading Becomes Paramount:** With heightened demand and potential value, professional grading becomes more critical than ever.
