Holofoil 70/79 · $29.20 — the only variant this card was printed in (no reverse holo or special pattern), so a master set needs just this one copy.
The storyA full-art promo dino that ships inside ETB packaging
Tyrunt 070 is part of the Mega Evolution Black Star Promos (set ID mep), the promo wave tied to the 2025-2026 Mega Evolution era. The card is a Fighting type with 100 HP and a single attack, Get Angry, which does 20 damage for each damage counter already on Tyrunt. Shimaris Yukichi handled the art. It is a full-art promo rather than a plain text-box promo, so it reads more like a chase pull than a throwaway insert.
“Mega Evolution Black Star Promo (mep-70), Fighting type, 100 HP, attack Get Angry (20 per damage counter)”
The distribution is what collectors care about. The standard copy came packed with the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box. A Pokemon Center stamped version exists alongside it, carrying the Pokemon Center mark. That gives master-set builders two distinct cards to chase under one number, which matters when you track a complete promo run rather than a single copy.
None of this makes Tyrunt expensive. It sits near the bottom of the promo wave on value. It is a clean, well-illustrated promo with a Pokemon Center sibling, and that combination keeps it on lists even while the price stays low.
By the numbersMarket analysis
Tyrunt sits at the affordable end of the Mega Evolution promo wave. Both the ETB version and the Pokemon Center stamped copy trade in budget territory, well below the headline ex and Mega cards from the era.
Pricing has stayed flat and low since the late-2025 release. As an ETB-bundled promo with steady supply, there is no scarcity squeeze pushing it up.
Treat this as a checklist card, not an investment. Supply from ETBs is broad and the price floor is low. The only real upside angle is a clean graded copy of the Pokemon Center variant if that version stays harder to find.
Raw copies are cheap, so grading really only makes sense for the Pokemon Center stamped variant or a flawless gem-mint candidate. For the standard ETB version, grading fees usually outrun the card's value.
This is a promo, so there is no pack pull rate in the usual sense. You get the standard Tyrunt by buying or opening the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box that includes it, and the Pokemon Center stamped variant came through the Pokemon Center version of that box. Because supply is tied to ETB volume rather than a rarity slot, copies are easy to source and the price stays low.
Unlike a Scarlet and Violet Special Illustration Rare, where hitting one specific card can run into the hundreds of packs, this promo is a guaranteed inclusion in its product. That is why it stays common and cheap despite the full-art look.
ArtworkWhy the art matters
Shimaris Yukichi is credited as the illustrator on this card. Treat their wider catalog as unconfirmed here; the credit on this specific promo is what is verified.
A full-art promo layout featuring Tyrunt, the squat bipedal fossil Pokemon from Kalos, rather than a plain bordered text-box promo. Tyrunt's stubby build, oversized jaws and small forearms are the focus.
Released as a holo black star promo. The standard copy carries the promo star, and a separate Pokemon Center stamped version exists for the same card.
The full-art presentation is what keeps this Tyrunt from feeling like filler. For a low-cost promo, the illustration does more than most ETB inserts.

Own it wellCollector guide
Promos pulled from ETBs can pick up edge wear and surface scuffs in transit. Check corners and the holo surface under angled light before paying for a near-mint copy.
Skip grading the standard ETB version unless it is a clear gem-mint candidate, since fees outrun value. Grading is more defensible for the Pokemon Center stamped variant. Read the grading guide →
Sleeve and toploader it when you pull it. For long-term binder storage, use side-loading pages so the holo surface does not rub. Keep both variants tracked separately in your checklist. See the storage guide →
Buy raw and near-mint. There is no reason to overpay. If you want the full set of variants, confirm whether a listing is the ETB version or the Pokemon Center stamped copy before buying, since the photos can look similar. See the singles buying guide →
This is a modern promo, so vintage swirl and core tests do not apply. Verify the promo star, the 070 number, the Shimaris Yukichi credit, and whether the Pokemon Center stamp is present. Buy the stamped variant from reputable sellers.

Collectors treat Tyrunt 070 as a solid, low-key promo. The art gets mild praise and the dino design has its fans, but nobody is calling it a grail. It is a want-list checkbox more than a hype card.
Most chatter around the Mega Evolution promo wave focuses on the bigger ex and Mega cards. Tyrunt comes up mainly when collectors discuss completing the full promo run or tracking down the Pokemon Center variant.
