Why “Aura Seeker”?
Hadou (波導) is the Japanese term for the aura power associated with Lucario, so English-speaking collectors translate the set name as Aura Seeker. The name comes straight from the set’s headline card, Mega Lucario Z ex, whose Ability is called “Hadou Seeker”.
While Mega Lucario Z ex is in the Active Spot, once during your turn its Ability lets you search your deck for a Supporter card and put it into your hand. Its attack, ダンシングフィスト (“Dancing Fist”), does extra damage when your opponent’s Active Pokémon is a Pokémon ex.
“Aura Seeker” is a collector translation, not an official English product name. The Pokémon Company hasn’t officially announced an English name or release date for these cards.
Mega Evolution Z: the headline Pokémon
Aura Seeker brings Mega Evolution Pokémon with a “Z” in their name to the card game. The official Japanese set page highlights three of them:
- Mega Lucario Z ex: searches for a Supporter through its Ability and hits Pokémon ex hard.
- Mega Garchomp Z ex: its attack does 30 damage for each Dragon Pokémon in your discard pile, so it rewards a Dragon-focused deck.
- Mega Absol Z ex: does 160 damage and stops your opponent playing Special Energy and Stadium cards from their hand during their next turn.
The official page also previews support cards. Sigilyph ex takes no attack damage from Mega Evolution Pokémon ex. Meloetta can put up to three Basic Pokémon from your deck onto your Bench. Revavroom can damage your opponent’s Active and Benched Pokémon at the same time. A Dragon line built around Garchomp gets help from Drampa and Vibrava.
More decks to build
The set page shows several other strategies:
- Hawlucha, which lowers the Energy cost of attacks by Machamp and Hitmontop.
- Floatzel ex and Quagsire, whose attacks get stronger when you reveal a particular Crasher Wake Supporter from your hand.
- Ninetales, which can stop your opponent taking Prize cards in the right situation.
- Single Strike Urshifu and Rapid Strike Urshifu, two ways to evolve Kubfu.
- Persian and Kecleon also appear.
The Tetsuo Hara Special Art Rare
The Crasher Wake Supporter mentioned above also appears as a Special Art Rare (SAR). Its card artwork was drawn especially for this set by Japanese manga artist Tetsuo Hara. Crasher Wake is the Water-type Gym Leader from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, known in Japan as Maxi (マキシ). The card is one of the stand-out reveals for collectors.
Things to know if you’re buying to play
The official page notes that Aura Seeker contains no basic Energy cards. It also confirms that some cards used in these decks, including Boss’s Orders, are not in the set. Plan to source those separately.

- 30 sealed booster packs
