The MEGA Dream ex set for the Pokémon Trading Card Game introduces several new cards, which have fluctuated in price upon their circulation in Japan. Ahead of a Western release, some cards have had their value estimated, showing how much they'll cost. To predict the strongest cards in the set, as well as how much they might sell for, it's worth checking out what prices cards have been marked as.
According to websites like Pokébeach and TCGPlayer, the market prices of individual cards are fluctuating as more packs are opened with the MEGA Dream ex set launch. These Pokémon cards are being marked at far higher value than previous ones, making it good to know which ones are worth the most this time. With a potential 30th Anniversary set coming soon, these cards may not be this valuable for long.
Mega Froslass Ex (233/193)
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon MEGA Dream ex Mega Frosslass Ex Japan card from set
This Special Illustration shows a regal Mega Froslass, one of the newest Mega Evolutions in Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. This Mega Froslass card resembles a classical painting, with an incredible style that makes it seem like it would be shown off at a museum for the arts.
According to TCGPlayer, the market price for this card is around $67.19 as of this time of writing. This is solely for the near mint holofoil version of the card in the Japan set, so this value could change as the card is released in an English set later.
Iris' Fighting Spirit (247/193)
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Iris' Fighting Spirit Japan card from set
The Champion of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Iris, is prominently displayed on this card with some of her signature Pokémon. Haxorus, Druddigon, and fan-favorite Aggron are all next to Iris, who stands proudly alongside her team. The confidence shown on this card might translate to the game itself, beyond just the special illustration.
The market price of this card is listed as $73.00, among several listings on TCGPlayer. Despite the card's status as a only a Trainer - Supporter card, the illustration alone makes it unique compared to others in the set.
Marnie's Grimmsnarl Ex
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex Japan card from set
Another well-known Trainer takes the spotlight on this card, as Marnie from Pokémon Sword and Shield is set prominently in the heat of battle. However, unlike Iris' Fighting Spirit, this card shows off an intense Grimmsnarl from Marnie's team ready for battle, with the Fairy/Dark-type using a strong Ability and attack to contend in various decks.
TCGPlayer has this card set to a whopping $110.00 market price, showing a sharp jump from the previous two in the set. This is a trend for the MEGA Dream ex cards, which are all abnormally high-valued as the newest set to release in Japan so far.
Iono's Bellibolt Ex (236/193)
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Iono's Bellibolt ex Japan card from set
This card marks another in a line of special illustrations for the MEGA Dream ex set, this time with a psychedelic depiction of the Pokémon Bellibolt. The cute artstyle here also shows off the Trainer and streamer Iono, one of the popular characters from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The bright, neon colors of this card truly make it special among others you could find in this set's booster packs.
Even though it isn't a secret rare in the Pokémon TCG, this card still has a market value of $118.50 on TCGPlayer. As cards start getting to be over $100, they become much rarer in packs, meaning you'll have to be lucky to see them.
N's Zoroark Ex (242/193)
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex N's Zoroark ex Japan card from set
Fulfilling his former role as Team Plasma's king, N sits proudly with his Zoroark on this card, which has a regal style for both featured characters. This special illustration is full of beautiful details, such as the shifting colors of day and night that encircle both N and his trusted Pokémon companion.
The artist for this card, Raita Kazama, is also known for gorgeous Magic: The Gathering artwork, such as Mythic Secret Lair drop for an Encore Electromancer - Snapcaster Mage card.
Those who check TCGPlayer will notice that this card is valued on the market at $150.00. This hefty value comes from three separate listings, meaning it could easily grow in value as its rarity grows.
Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex (237/193)
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Japan card from set
Another special illustration depicts a sinister scene — Team Rocket's hidden leader Giovanni controlling Mewtwo for the organization's purposes. The dark red and blacks of this card give a menacing aura to Mewtwo, who seems ready to do whatever Giovanni commands. The stern face of the criminal leader implies nothing but bad intentions, making this card stand out for its darker tone.
The market value for this card is set at $199.00 according to TCGPlayer, from at least five listings. The High Class packs that feature this card might be hard to obtain later, whether the card itself is useful in competitive TCG formats or not.
Pikachu EX
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Pikachu ex Japan card from set
In almost complete contrast to Team Rocket's Mewtwo, this card shows off a vibrant Pikachu, with the series' signature Electric-type mouse in high spirits. Pikachu wears a crown of multicolored crystals in this special illustration, gleaming as if the Pokémon itself was also made of glamorous stone. With a pink background too, the jubilant nature of this card makes it incredibly stylized within the overall set.
The site PokéBeach labels this card at a $274 market price, or around 42,800 Yen while it's out in Japan. Even if there is some difference in price when the English set releases, this is still a considerable step above some of the other cards mentioned.
Mega Dragonite Ex (246/193)
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Mega Dragonite ex Japan card from set
Another wonderful special illustration features Mega Dragonite from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, with a flowing set of clouds surrounding the angelic wings on the Pokémon's head. Both Dratini and Dragonair are on this card behind Mega Dragonite, showing the journey the Pokémon took to reach the apex of its strength. The warm colors of this card look straight out of a pleasant dream, fulfilling the name of the set itself.
TCGPlayer has this card listed as $296.80 for its market price, which makes sense considering the card is one of the two highlighted for the set. The limited number of Mega Dragonites might cause them to go fast in boosters, so you want want to order one ahead of time if you can.
Mega Dragonite Ex Gold
Mega Ultra Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Golden Mega Dragonite ex Japan card from set
Perhaps the rarest card in the MEGA Dream ex set is a golden variant of Mega Dragonite, which coats the card in a splendor appropriate for the Dragon/Flying-type. Mega Dragonite is barely visible on this Mega Ultra Rare card, only showing an outline of the Pokémon's new form. A golden halo around Mega Dragonite adds to the card's importance, emphasizing its rarity even further.
As you might expect, PokéBeach has this card at a high $446.00 value, nearly twice the amount of past cards in the set. However, despite being the hardest card to find, it isn't the one that is worth the most currently.
Mega Gengar Ex (240/193)
Special Illustration Rare Card In Pokémon TCG: MEGA Dream Ex
Pokémon TCG MEGA Dream ex Mega Gengar ex Japan card from set
Mega Gengar takes its place as the most valuable card in the MEGA Dream ex set, marking a rare instance where an Ultra Rare isn't the most expensive. The might of Mega Gengar is on full display with this card, showing its swirling spectral energy taking shape in many different colors. Like a walking nightmare, this intimidating look for Mega Gengar showcases the iconic Ghost/Poison-type's playful menace well.
Anyone who checks TCGPlayer might see this card's staggering $599.00 market value, surpassing the golden Mega Dragonite by a wide margin. Even with its special illustration, this is surprising, but the usefulness of the card must be extraordinary in the Pokémon Trading Card Game to reach such a high worth.
