About Psycho Drive

What Psycho Drive is

Psycho Drive is one half of the third expansion block of the BW era in Japan, released on September 16, 2011 alongside Hail Blizzard. It has 52 numbered cards plus 5 secret rares for 57 in total. The block introduced Pokémon EX, powerful Basic Pokémon that give up two Prize cards when Knocked Out. Psycho Drive is the Mewtwo side, with Mewtwo EX, Kyogre EX and Shaymin EX as full art secrets and gold Zoroark and Hydreigon as its ultra rares. The English Next Destinies of February 8, 2012 combined both halves with the Reshiram EX and Zekrom EX Battle Strength Decks for 103 cards.

What makes Psycho Drive different

  • The full art Mewtwo EX The full art Mewtwo EX from this set became the defining card of the early BW era, and its 1st Edition Japanese print is the top of the hub.
  • Kyogre EX before Dark Explorers Kyogre EX appeared here months before English players saw it in Dark Explorers, so the Japanese print is the first anywhere.

Psycho Drive products

Collecting and grading Psycho Drive

The full art Mewtwo EX leads the hub in both prints, followed by the full art Kyogre EX, the gold Hydreigon and Zoroark, the full art Shaymin EX and the regular Mewtwo EX. Minccino in 1st Edition is the sleeper regular card. BW era Japanese cards show back edge whitening quickly, so clean 1st Edition copies of the Mewtwo EX are the ones worth grading.
