The Mega Attack Rares cost much less. Mega Charizard X ex is the most expensive at about €42, then Mega Gengar ex at about €28 and Mega Dragonite ex at about €15. The other seven sell for under €7.

Is MEGA Dream ex coming out in English?

Yes, and it already has. The English version is Ascended Heroes, released on January 30, 2026. It is not a straight translation: it adds cards from outside MEGA Dream ex and has 295 cards in total, 217 of them in the main set.

English collectors get seven of the ten Mega Attack Rares. Mega Charizard X ex, Mega Gardevoir ex and Mega Lucario ex are not among them. The English cards also sell for far more than the Japanese ones: Mega Gengar ex and Pikachu ex are about €1,000 each as Special Illustration Rares in Ascended Heroes.
