Inferno X (M2) Rare Cards Explained: MEGA Charizard X ex, AR and SR

Inferno X (M2) is the Japanese-edition Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion pack released on September 26, 2025, and its rare cards in our listings are four AR cards (083, 084, 088, 089) and three SR cards (094, 096, 100), all numbered above the 80-card main list and led by MEGA Charizard X ex.

What is Inferno X (M2)? Key facts

Inferno X is a Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion pack in the MEGA series, sold in Japan as a Japanese-edition product. The table collects the facts that identify it, taken from the official Inferno X page and from the product names on our shop pages, which carry the set code M2.

The official page also names other featured cards: Oricorio ex, Mega Sharpedo ex, Toxtricity, Mega Heracross ex, Ludicolo and Rotom ex, along with an attack called Inferno X. It also states that accessory goods were released the same day, September 26. Two of those featured names, Toxtricity and Rotom ex, are among the seven rare cards covered below.

The headline card is one of the seven. Our product page for the PSA 10 MEGA Charizard X ex SR [M2 094/080] shows it as an SR numbered 094/080, and the official page leads with that same Pokémon.

Which are the rare cards in Inferno X (M2)?

The rare cards in our Inferno X listings are seven cards numbered above 080: Charcadet 083, Dewgong 084, Flygon 088, Toxtricity 089, MEGA Charizard X ex 094, Rotom ex 096 and MEGA Lopunny ex 100. Four carry the AR symbol and three carry the SR symbol.

The official page shows a card list of 001 to 080, while these listings print numbers such as 083/080, where the second figure matches the 80-card main list. Read the two numbers separately. The figure after the slash is the main-list size, 80. The figure before it is the card’s own number. When the first figure is larger than the second, as in 100/080, the card is numbered past the main list. That is how we group the cards in this guide, and it is a grouping by printed number, not a label taken from the official page.

The rarity symbols come straight from our product names. The seven cards carry two symbols: AR and SR. The AR cards are numbered 083, 084, 088 and 089. The SR cards are numbered 094, 096 and 100. This guide uses the symbols exactly as printed and does not spell them out in longer form. For the numbering of the whole set, including cards this guide does not cover, use our Inferno X (M2) Complete Card List: All 116 Cards and Rarities.

Each product page gives the same data in its description: the card name, the number, the set name Expansion Pack “Inferno X”, the rarity, and the PSA 10 (Gem Mint) grade. Some cards are offered on more than one product page. When you compare pages, use the card name and number printed in the product name.

What do the AR and SR symbols tell you on an Inferno X card?

AR and SR are the two rarity symbols printed on the seven listings, and they sort the rare cards into two groups: AR for numbers 083, 084, 088 and 089, SR for numbers 094, 096 and 100. The symbols appear in the product name and in the Rarity line of each description.

Two patterns show up when you line the seven cards up by number. First, the AR cards come before the SR cards: the highest AR number is 089 and the lowest SR number is 094. Second, the SR group is where the ex cards sit. MEGA Charizard X ex, Rotom ex and MEGA Lopunny ex all carry ex in the name, while Charcadet, Dewgong, Flygon and Toxtricity do not. These are observations about the printed names and numbers in our listings, not statements from the publisher about how the set is built.

The official page does not publish a rarity breakdown in the facts we use, and none of the sources gives pull rates for these cards, so this guide states none. What you can rely on is the printed data: name, number, symbol and PSA 10 grade.

What are the four AR cards in Inferno X?

The four AR cards in our Inferno X listings are Charcadet 083/080, Dewgong 084/080, Flygon 088/080 and Toxtricity 089/080. Each is sold as a PSA 10 single, and each product description names the set as Expansion Pack “Inferno X” and the rarity as AR.

Charcadet AR 083/080

Charcadet AR is numbered 083/080. The product page identifies it as the PSA 10 Charcadet AR [M2 083/080], with the description “Charcadet No. 083/080 | Set: Expansion Pack Inferno X | Rarity: AR”.

Charcadet also features in the English release that is related to this set. The English Elite Trainer Box for Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution-Phantasmal Flames includes a full-art foil Charcadet promo, and the Pokémon Center version includes 2 Charcadet promos, according to the official English expansion page. That page does not use the name Inferno X, so pairing the two sets is our own reading. A promo card from an English box is a different product from the Japanese AR card numbered 083/080.

Dewgong AR 084/080

Dewgong AR is numbered 084/080. The product name is PSA 10 Dewgong AR [M2 084/080], and the description matches the other AR cards: set Expansion Pack “Inferno X”, rarity AR, graded PSA 10 (Gem Mint).

Flygon AR 088/080

Flygon AR is numbered 088/080, and the product name is PSA 10 Flygon AR [M2 088/080]. Our listings carry two photos for this card, shown below.

Toxtricity AR 089/080

Toxtricity AR is numbered 089/080, and the product name is PSA 10 Toxtricity AR [M2 089/080]. The official page names Toxtricity in its list of featured cards, so this is the one AR among the four that the publisher highlights.

What are the three SR cards in Inferno X?

The three SR cards in our Inferno X listings are MEGA Charizard X ex 094/080, Rotom ex 096/080 and MEGA Lopunny ex 100/080. All three are sold as PSA 10 singles.

MEGA Charizard X ex SR 094/080

MEGA Charizard X ex SR is numbered 094/080, and the listing is PSA 10 MEGA Charizard X ex SR [M2 094/080]. The official Inferno X page names MEGA Charizard X ex as its headline card, which is a statement about how the publisher presents the set.

The same Pokémon also appears as card artwork from the Japanese release, shown here.

For a comparison of the Japanese set with a boxed English product built around the same Pokémon, see our Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection vs Japan’s M2 Pokemon Box article.

Rotom ex SR 096/080

Rotom ex SR is numbered 096/080, and the listing is PSA 10 Rotom ex SR [M2 096/080]. Like Toxtricity, Rotom ex is named in the official page’s list of featured cards.

MEGA Lopunny ex SR 100/080

MEGA Lopunny ex SR is numbered 100/080, the highest number among the seven cards covered here. The listing is PSA 10 MEGA Lopunny ex SR [M2 100/080].

What does PSA 10 mean on these Inferno X listings?

PSA 10 (Gem Mint) is the grade stated on all seven listings, and our product pages describe it as the highest grade certifiable by Professional Sports Authenticator, awarded only to cards in flawless, gem mint condition. Every card in this guide is therefore a graded single card, not a pack or a box.

The product pages add two notes that are worth reading before you order. First, the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface. The case is the plastic holder around the card, and the page raises it separately from the grade. Second, the pages say stock levels can change, so in some cases an order may take a little longer to ship.

The shipping policy adds a rule specific to graded cards. PSA graded cards may also be offered through our other sales channels, and because orders from different channels can arrive almost at the same time, a PSA item shown online may already be sold before the team locks the allocation for your online order. Once your payment has cleared, the policy says we will secure the PSA graded card matching your order, even if additional sourcing is required. Dispatch may take longer in this situation, and the policy says status updates will be provided whenever the schedule changes. The policy also asks you to check the delivery schedule shown or communicated for your order.

How does Japanese Inferno X compare with English Phantasmal Flames?

The English set related to Inferno X is Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution-Phantasmal Flames, and its product range is described very differently from the Japanese 5-card pack. The English page does not label itself Inferno X, so the pairing is our own inference, and we use it only to explain what the English side contains.

For a collector, the practical point is that the card numbers in this guide, such as 094/080, are printed on the Japanese edition, whose official card list runs 001 to 080. If you want the Japanese cards named here, search by card name and printed number. Our comparison article Phantasmal Flames ETB vs Japanese M2 Inferno X goes into the boxed products.

How long does shipping take for an Inferno X card?

Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared, and FedEx transit is then usually 3-7 business days on Standard or 2-5 business days on Expedited. The shipping policy describes all of these times as estimates only.

The full wording is on the shipping policy page. Several parts of it bear directly on a graded single.

Transit time is only part of the wait. The policy says delivery dates shown on the website, at checkout or in carrier tools are estimates and do not include handling time, pre-order release timing, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country delivery conditions.

Delays before dispatch. Stock levels for sealed Japanese trading card products fluctuate, and dispatch may take longer than the standard handling time. If dispatch is delayed, the policy says we will contact you by email as soon as practical with the revised estimate. For significant dispatch delays before handoff to FedEx, we may offer the option to wait or to cancel the order with a full refund.

Tracking. You can check order status through your customer account. Once the order is dispatched, you can check the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate from your account or the shipping confirmation email.

Customs and carrier delays. After an order has been handed to FedEx, delivery timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities. Customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling, peak season congestion, weather and carrier events may delay delivery. The policy states that such transit delays are outside our control and do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch.

Address changes. The customer is responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address. While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account, under Orders. The destination country cannot be changed, and the carrier, shipping method and FedEx service level stay as selected at checkout. If shipping to the new address costs more, you are asked to pay the difference before dispatch, and the order is held until it is settled. If it costs less, the shipping charge is not recalculated and no refund is made. After the shipment is scheduled, the self-service change closes, and only a minor correction that leaves all shipping conditions unchanged may be considered.

How do you pay for an Inferno X card?

All payments are made in Japanese yen (JPY), and the payment methods page lists Wise bank transfer, PayPal, credit and debit cards through PayPal, and PayPal Pay Later where PayPal offers it. Any gap between the amount we charge and the amount on your statement comes from exchange rates and conversion fees set by your payment provider or bank, which are outside our control.

Details are on the payment methods page.

Wise deadlines. Without a screenshot of your transfer, the order is cancelled automatically if payment has not been received within 12 hours of placing it, or 3 hours when the order contains a pre-order item. With a screenshot, you upload it within 5 days of placing the order, and the price is held for a total of 10 days from placing the order. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout. Enter the payment reference issued with your order, SST-{order number}, in the Wise transfer reference field exactly as issued.

SWIFT transfers. Payments received through SWIFT incur a receiving fee of JPY 611, so add JPY 611 to your order total if you pay that way. Correspondent banks may also deduct their own fees, and the page asks you to select the OUR charge option so that all those fees are covered on your side. If the amount received is short, order processing is paused until the shortfall is paid and confirmed.

Cards. You pay by card with the black Debit or Credit Card button, and the card form opens in PayPal’s own secure window. A PayPal account is usually not required for a card payment, although PayPal may occasionally ask you to sign in or create one. We never see, receive or store your card number, expiry date or security code. Your card issuer may apply 3-D Secure authentication, such as a one-time code or a confirmation in your banking app.

Pay Later options. The payment page lists the interest-free options visible at our checkout by country: PayPal Pay in 4 in the United States (4 payments, one every 2 weeks), PayPal Pay in 3 in the United Kingdom (3 monthly payments), PayPal Paiement en 4X in France (4 monthly payments), PayPal Paga in 3 rate in Italy (3 monthly payments), PayPal Paga en 3 plazos in Spain (3 monthly payments), PayPal Pay in 4 in Australia (4 fortnightly payments) and PayPal Pay in 4 in Canada (4 payments, one every 2 weeks). In each case the first payment is made at checkout. In other countries PayPal may show a different option on different terms, and the terms PayPal displays in its own window are the ones that apply.

Which Inferno X rare card should you look at first?

Look first at MEGA Charizard X ex SR 094/080, because the official Inferno X page names that Pokémon as the headline card. If you prefer a Pokémon from the official featured list, Toxtricity AR 089/080 and Rotom ex SR 096/080 are both named there.

• You want the set’s headline card: MEGA Charizard X ex SR 094/080.
• You want a card from the official featured list: Toxtricity AR 089/080 or Rotom ex SR 096/080.
• You collect AR cards: Charcadet 083, Dewgong 084, Flygon 088 and Toxtricity 089 are the four AR numbers in our listings.
• You collect MEGA ex cards: MEGA Charizard X ex 094 and MEGA Lopunny ex 100 carry MEGA in the name.

These are ways to sort the seven listings by the facts on the official page and in the product names. None of the sources gives pull rates for these cards, so this guide states none.
