Mewtwo GX 78/73 PSA 8

Mewtwo GX 78/73 — Shining Legends Secret Rare PSA 8

One of the most recognizable Mewtwo cards of the modern era, Mewtwo GX 78/73 is often nicknamed “Mewtube” by collectors because of its unforgettable laboratory artwork.

Released as a Secret Rare from the 2017 Shining Legends expansion, the illustration by Mitsuhiro Arita shows Mewtwo suspended inside a scientific containment chamber. The scene directly reflects Mewtwo’s origins as a genetically engineered Pokémon created through dangerous experimentation rather than being born naturally.

The dark laboratory, glowing monitors, layered blue energy rings, and pale lighting create a cold, unsettling atmosphere. Mewtwo’s curled position makes the artwork feel less like a battle scene and more like a private look at the moment before one of Pokémon’s most powerful creations awakens.

The textured full-art finish adds depth throughout the chamber and surrounding technology, while Mewtwo’s bright body stands sharply against the nearly black background. Its cinematic composition and connection to Mewtwo’s origin story have made it one of the defining chase cards from Shining Legends.

Graded PSA 8 Near Mint–Mint, this copy is an excellent addition for collectors of Mewtwo, Mitsuhiro Arita artwork, Shining Legends, laboratory-themed cards, or memorable Secret Rares from the Sun & Moon era.
