Completing the collection yields a cosmetic blue Mew emblem on your profile, signaling rarity rather than gameplay power; it's likely out of reach for free-to-play players, though joining a trading group to swap duplicates can make the goal more feasible. Mega Shine features sought-after shinies like Mega Charizard X ex and Mega Gengar ex, plus visually striking forms such as Phantump/Trevenant, Ponyta with blue flames, and Axew/Haxorus; all shiny forms are new to this set.
