What Is On This Card?
Legendary Guidance
Psychic energy. Search your deck for up to 2 Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck.
Beam
Psychic energy. No additional attack text is listed.
Because it can use all kinds of moves, many scientists believe Mew to be the ancestor of Pokémon.
How To Research This Printing
Start with the image, Shining Legends set name, and 40 / 73 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.
Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.
Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
