Mega Lucario EX Pokémon Trading Card

Mega Lucario EX is part of the world-renowned Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). The brand originated in Japan, created by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori in the mid-1990s under the company Game Freak. The TCG itself was first published in Japan by Media Factory and later launched internationally. The card shown appears to be a replica or a non-standard version (indicated by the unusually high HP and specific layout), though the official brand remains a Japanese icon.

The global Pokémon franchise is managed by The Pokémon Company, which is a joint venture between three giants: Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. Ownership of the TCG specifically involves Nintendo as the primary trademark holder, while distribution is handled by various subsidiaries globally, such as The Pokémon Company International in the United States and Europe. Manufacturing occurs across multiple countries, including the USA and Japan, to meet global demand for these popular collectibles.
