Set Overview

Japan's Annual Premium Set

MEGA Dream ex is Japan's end-of-year High Class Pack for 2025, released November 28. If you're unfamiliar with the format: the High Class Pack is an annual premium product that combines reprints from the current year's sets with a selection of brand new cards, wrapped in a different pack structure and higher guaranteed pull rates. It's the prestige release on the Japanese calendar — the set designed to close out the year with a statement.

The structure is fundamentally different from standard MEGA expansion packs. Each pack contains 10 cards instead of 5, boxes contain 10 packs instead of 30, and every single pack guarantees at least one Pokémon ex. At 250 cards (193 main plus 57 secret rares), it's by far the largest set in the MEGA era — though the majority of that card pool is reprinted material from the 2024–2025 season. The 64 brand new cards are what collectors are here for.

What's New

New Debuts and New Rarities

The headline new additions are Mega Dragonite ex and Mega Eelektross ex — both making their first TCG appearances as Mega Evolutions. Canari, a new Supporter from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, also debuts here. The set introduces a new rarity tier: the Mega Attack Rare (MA), featuring cinematic action illustrations of Mega Evolved Pokémon that are visually distinct from both SARs and MURs. New mirror holofoil patterns also appear — Energy type symbols, Poké Ball variants including Friend Ball, Love Ball, Dusk Ball, and Quick Ball designs, plus a Team Rocket logo pattern marking the return of Team Rocket's Pokémon to the TCG.

What Collectors Should Know

The Cards That Matter

Mega Gengar ex SAR is the standout chase card, having peaked at approximately $595 USD shortly after release. Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex SAR, Mega Dragonite ex MUR (#250), Mega Dragonite ex SAR (#246), and Pikachu ex SAR (#234) round out the premium tier. It's worth noting that MEGA Dream ex has reportedly had lower production than the prior year's Terastal Festival ex, with no guaranteed SARs per box — a combination that has helped premium cards hold value longer than typical High Class releases tend to.

The English equivalent is Ascended Heroes, released January 30, 2026. For the High Class Pack specifically, the Japanese version is the collector product — the pack structure, the holofoil patterns, and the overall presentation are designed for this format. The English adaptation reshuffles the card pool and loses the 10-card pack experience that defines the Japanese release.
