After the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Mega Starmie made a huge impact and quickly became a hot topic across Japan.

The pack name “Munikis Zero” is believed to be derived from Mega Zygarde’s special attack, “Nihil Light.”
In Japanese, this attack is called “無に帰す光” and is read as “Mu ni kisu Hikari.” which is thought to be the origin of the name “Munikis Zero.”
The illustration on Mega Zygarde ex SAR shows Mega Zygarde unleashing Nihil Light, with all forms of Zygarde depicted in the background.
This powerful and symbolic artwork has drawn strong attention from both fans and collectors, making it one of the most talked-about cards in the set.
