Gardevoir has been a chase card in Japanese Pokemon TCG for eleven straight years, and it never left. It was there in 2014, when its first Mega Evolution printing arrived in Tidal Storm (XY5), and the Gardevoir full art cards of that set are SR secret rares. It was there in 2019 as a Tag Team GX. And in August 2025, it came back as the literal cover card of the franchise’s newest mechanic — Mega Evolution ex — with its own dedicated set built around it.
That kind of continuity is rare. Most Pokemon can point to one good era. Gardevoir has three: the XY vintage secret rares from 2014–2017, the Tag Team GX era in 2019, and the current Mega era that started in 2025. We ship Japanese sealed product and graded singles out of Tokyo.
The M Gardevoir-EX RR [020/032] from the 2016 PokéKyun Collection is a concept-pack print outside the main XY sets. The Best of XY reprint is the PSA10 M Gardevoir-EX [092/171], and the current Mega era is covered by the Mega Gardevoir ex MA [M2a 226/193] and the Mega Symphonia prints.

Gardevoir Full Art Cards in Japanese Sets
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings.

Every Gardevoir Card Worth Knowing
Eleven confirmed Japanese Gardevoir printings span three eras, from the December 2014 debut to the November 2025 reprint.
| Card | Set (JP) | No. | Rarity | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M Gardevoir-EX | Tidal Storm (XY5) | 076/070 | SR | 2014 |
| Gardevoir-EX | Tidal Storm (XY5) | 075/070 | SR | 2014 |

| メガサーナイトex MUR | Mega Symphonia (M1S) | 092/063 | MUR | 2025 |
| Mega Gardevoir ex MA | MEGA Dream ex (M2a) | 226/193 | MA | 2025 |
The two threads worth following are the XY-vintage secret rares (the highest raw asking prices on the secondary market) and the new Mega Evolution ex line, which reintroduced Mega Gardevoir as a headline card after an eight-year gap.
The XY Vintage Ladder: Tidal Storm & Cruel Traitor
Gardevoir’s first Mega Evolution printing came in Tidal Storm (タイダルストーム, XY5), a Japan-only set released December 13, 2014 with 70 cards. Its English equivalent is Primal Clash, but the Japanese secret rares are numbered and priced on their own track:
- M Gardevoir-EX SR 076/070 — the Mega Evolution secret rare, English equivalent Primal Clash 106/160 and 156/160 (Full Art).
- Gardevoir-EX SR 075/070 — the base-form secret rare, English equivalent Primal Clash 105/160 and 155/160.
Eighteen months later, Cruel Traitor (冷酷の反逆者, XY11) released June 17, 2016 with 54 cards, paired at retail with Fever-Burst Fighter. It carried the same Gardevoir pairing at a new number:
- M Gardevoir-EX SR 057/054 — English equivalent Steam Siege 79/114 and 112/114 (Full Art).
- Gardevoir-EX SR 056/054, with a third Ultra Rare print at 059/054 — English equivalent Steam Siege 78/114.
On the secondary market, SNKRDUNK asking prices as of August 6, 2026 show the vintage secret rares carrying real weight: a single Gardevoir EX SR (XY5 075/070) listing asked ¥180,000 raw, with a 1st Edition copy at ¥85,000. On the M Gardevoir-EX side, 1st Edition raws asked ¥45,000–47,500 across both sets.
What “1st Edition” Actually Means
Japanese Pokemon cards carried a “1st Edition” print-run stamp from the earliest Pokémon VS/Pokémon Web sets in 2001 through Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary (the Japanese counterpart to English Evolutions), released December 2016. Both Tidal Storm (December 2014) and Cruel Traitor (June 2016) fall inside that window, so first-print runs of the Gardevoir cards above were struck with the stamp, with later restocks arriving as unstamped “unlimited” printings.
The 1st Edition mark is a general era-wide rule, not a guarantee stamped on every single card by name — treat any specific listing’s 1st Edition claim as something to verify against the physical stamp, not the set date alone.
The Grail: M Gardevoir-EX RR [020/032]
Not every valuable Gardevoir came out of a numbered XY main set. PokéKyun Collection (コンセプトパック ポケキュンコレクション), released January 29, 2016, was a 32-card Japan-only concept pack — the first subset of the XY BREAK era. Its English content later resurfaced inside the Radiant Collection subset of Generations, but the Japanese pack itself was never a mainline set.
Inside that pack: Gardevoir-EX RR at 019/032, and M Gardevoir-EX RR at 020/032. Concept-pack prints run in far smaller numbers than a standard XY expansion, and that is why this RR is a different kind of chase from the numbered SR secret rares above, despite carrying the “lower” RR rarity tier.
Budget Vintage: The Best of XY Reprint
The Best of XY, a Japan-only High Class Pack released April 21, 2017, closed out the XY BREAK era with a 188-card retrospective pack (numbered through at least 171 in the main run). It reprinted M Gardevoir-EX as a plain Rare Holo at 092/171, alongside base Gardevoir-EX at 091/171 — no English-language release of this product exists.
Because it’s a Rare Holo reprint rather than a secret rare or concept-pack RR, it’s a plainer way into the vintage Mega Gardevoir look: our PSA10 copy is currently listed at ¥28,000 (~$182), sharing the same “vintage Mega Gardevoir” era.
Tag Team Era: Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX
The Sun & Moon era gave Gardevoir a Tag Team partner. Night Unison (SM9a), released January 11, 2019 with 70 cards, featured Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX RR at 031/055 — English equivalent Unbroken Bonds 130/214, with Full Art, Special Full Art, and Secret Rainbow Rare variants of the same card appearing later in the same Japanese print block (060/055, 061/055, 067/055).
The 031/055 RR also doubles as a Sylveon card. For the Eeveelution side of that same card, see our Sylveon cards guide.
The Mega Era Returns: M1S Mega Symphonia
Mega Gardevoir sat out for eight years after The Best of XY. It came back on August 1, 2025, as the cover Pokemon of Mega Symphonia (M1S), the companion set to Mega Brave (M1L) in the official launch of Pokemon’s new Mega Evolution ex mechanic — a return of the “further evolution beyond the limits of evolution” idea, this time built into the card’s own text box rather than a rule-book mechanic. Mega ex cards give up three Prize cards on knockout, the same premium-for-power tradeoff the original Mega-EX line used.
メガサーナイトex (Mega Gardevoir ex) appears at four rarity tiers in Mega Symphonia:
| No. | Rarity |
|---|---|
| 042/063 | RR |
| 078/063 | SR |
| 087/063 | SAR |
| 092/063 | MUR |
The MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) is the gold-etched top card of the set. English-language equivalents land in the Mega Evolution set at Double Rare, Ultra Rare, Special Illustration Rare, and Mega Hyper Rare tiers respectively. SNKRDUNK asking prices as of August 6, 2026 put the SR (078/063) at a modest ¥1,000 raw, and community ranking articles list the MUR as the set’s #1 chase card. For the complete Mega Symphonia set breakdown, see our M1S Mega Symphonia complete guide.
Raw asking prices on new-era cards move fast in both directions as pull rates and supply settle — treat single-listing snapshots as a starting reference point, not a fixed value.
The Budget Mega: M2a MEGA Dream ex
Three months after Mega Symphonia, MEGA Dream ex (M2a) released November 28, 2025 as a 250-card set that reprinted Mega Gardevoir ex at two more rarities: RR at 071/193, and a full-art pop-art style MA (Mega Attack Rare) at 226/193, which prints the card’s headline attack in large foreground text.
Full set details are in our M2a MEGA Dream ex complete guide.
Which Gardevoir Fits Your Budget
- ¥8,762 (~$57) Sealed, ¥7,319 (~$48) No Shrink — M1S Mega Symphonia Booster Box. The set includes the RR, SR, SAR and MUR Mega Gardevoir ex.
- ¥28,000 (~$182) — PSA10 M Gardevoir-EX [The Best of XY 092/171]. The original 2014 Mega Evolution artwork, via a 2017 Rare Holo reprint.
The pattern that holds across every era: rarity letter (RR vs SR vs MA vs MUR) is a starting signal, but print-run size and which specific product a card came from move the price more than the letter itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Gardevoir card is the most valuable?
The M Gardevoir-EX RR [020/032] from the 2016 PokéKyun Collection is a concept-pack print outside the main XY sets. On the raw secondary market, SNKRDUNK asking prices as of August 6, 2026 show a single Gardevoir EX SR (XY5 075/070) listing asking ¥180,000, the highest raw ask among the vintage secret rares.
What does “1st Edition” mean on Japanese XY-era Gardevoir cards?
Japanese 1st Edition print stamps ran from 2001 through Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary in December 2016. Both Tidal Storm (December 2014) and Cruel Traitor (June 2016) fall inside that window, so first-print runs of their Gardevoir cards carry the stamp, with later restocks arriving unstamped. This is a general era-wide rule rather than a per-card guarantee, so always check the physical stamp on a specific listing.
What’s the difference between M Gardevoir-EX and Mega Gardevoir ex?
M Gardevoir-EX (2014–2017) used the original Mega Evolution mechanic from the XY era. Mega Gardevoir ex (2025–present) uses the newly reintroduced Mega Evolution ex mechanic, launched August 1, 2025 in Mega Symphonia (M1S) and reprinted in MEGA Dream ex (M2a) that November. Both give up three Prize cards on knockout, but they are different cards from different rule sets, eight years apart.
Which Gardevoir card is the best budget entry point?
The PSA10 M Gardevoir-EX [The Best of XY 092/171] and the Mega Symphonia booster box (Sealed option) are both listed in our store, the box for a chance at the current Mega Evolution ex era prints.
Is there a Standard-legal Gardevoir ex outside the Mega line?
Yes. Gardevoir ex debuted in Scarlet ex (SV1S) on January 20, 2023, at RR, SR, and SAR rarities, and was reprinted in Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) that December. These are separate from the Mega Evolution ex cards and use the standard Scarlet & Violet-era ex mechanic (two Prize cards on knockout, not three).
Which Gardevoir cards are full art?
Gardevoir full art prints are the Tidal Storm SRs (XY5 075/070, 076/070), Cruel Traitor SRs (XY11 056/054, 057/054) and Ultra Rare 059/054, Night Unison English variants Full Art, Special Full Art and Secret Rainbow Rare (SM9a 060/055, 061/055, 067/055), Scarlet ex SR and SAR, Mega Symphonia SR 078/063, SAR 087/063, MUR 092/063, and Mega Gardevoir ex MA (M2a 226/193).
