This Mega Symphonia (M1S) pull rates and best cards guide compares the Japanese set’s card identities, dated marketplace asks and box options. The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates.
Mega Symphonia released in Japan on August 1, 2025 alongside Mega Brave, introducing the MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) rarity. Mega Gardevoir ex represents that treatment in M1S with original artwork and a full gold-foil finish. Its MUR and SAR prints have different card numbers and illustrations, so begin with the version you want to collect.
Keep M1S 092/063 for the MUR and M1S 087/063 for the SAR separate on a want list. When requesting another card from the set, include its complete number and desired condition or grade. That makes a request more precise than a character name alone, particularly for Trainers or Pokemon that appear in several releases.
This guide breaks down what the official product page prints, the top 10 cards by the lowest SNKRDUNK ask on October 8, 2026, and where our own Mega Symphonia box listing stands. Our team ships Mega Symphonia boxes from Tokyo.
Store prices and availability were checked on October 15, 2026. Card and marketplace box asks remain historical SNKRDUNK asking prices recorded on October 8, 2026; other background facts retain their May 29, 2026 check date.

What Makes This Set Special — MUR & the Return of Mega Evolution
The headline feature is the MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) — a completely new rarity tier exclusive to the MEGA series. Unlike previous gold cards (UR), MUR cards feature entirely original artwork with a full gold-foil treatment across the entire card surface. The result is one of the most visually striking cards the Pokemon TCG has produced.
Mega Symphonia’s MUR is Mega Gardevoir ex (#092/063), and its combination of Gardevoir’s popularity, stunning artwork, and extreme rarity has made it the defining chase card of the MEGA era so far.
Beyond the MUR, the set brings five Mega Evolution Pokemon ex into the current format. These Mega Pokemon are worth three Prize cards when knocked out but deliver devastating attacks that can swing games. Mega Gardevoir ex has carved out a spot in competitive play, giving this set relevance for both collectors and players.
JPN vs English Release Timeline
Japan received Mega Symphonia nearly two months before the English-language set (branded “Mega Evolution”) launched on September 26, 2025. The English set combines cards from both Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia, so compare the exact card number, language and rarity when choosing between the releases.
JPN versions of Mega Symphonia cards are priced separately from their English counterparts. For a deeper look at how the two compare, see our Japanese vs English Pokemon Cards comparison.

Top 10 Most Valuable Mega Symphonia Cards
On the lowest raw asks of October 8, 2026, the MUR sits well above the rest. Here is the top 10 ranked by the lowest raw SNKRDUNK ask, with the lowest PSA 10 ask beside it. SNKRDUNK’s lowest price tier is ¥1,000, so ties are ordered by the PSA 10 ask.

| 1 | Mega Gardevoir ex [M1S 092/063] | MUR | ¥27,000 | ~$175 | ¥144,000 (~$935) |

Asks are the lowest asking prices on SNKRDUNK on October 8, 2026, not sold prices; the card number in brackets is the one printed in the SNKRDUNK listing title.
#1 — Mega Gardevoir ex (MUR) — ¥27,000 / ~$175
The crown jewel of Mega Symphonia and the set’s MUR card. This card features a completely original illustration of Mega Gardevoir wrapped in shimmering gold foil — not a recolored version of the SR, but a unique piece of art created specifically for this rarity.
The MUR is the top rarity of the set, above the SAR. Gardevoir consistently ranks among the top 10 most popular Pokemon globally (9th place in the 2020 Pokemon of the Year vote).
The lowest raw ask on SNKRDUNK on October 8, 2026 stood at ¥27,000 (~$175), and the lowest PSA 10 ask ¥144,000 (~$935).
#2 — Mega Gardevoir ex (SAR) — ¥7,700 / ~$50
The SAR version showcases a different full-art illustration of Mega Gardevoir in an ethereal, flowing composition. Gardevoir’s character popularity, the high-quality art direction, and the SAR’s texture make this the second-highest ask in the table.
On October 8, 2026 the lowest raw ask stood at ¥7,700 (~$50) and the lowest PSA 10 ask at ¥30,000 (~$195).
#4 — Acerola’s Prank (SAR) — ¥3,000 / ~$19
Acerola is one of the most beloved Trainer characters in the Pokemon franchise. On October 8, 2026 the lowest raw ask for Mega Symphonia’s SAR version stood at ¥3,000 (~$19) and the lowest PSA 10 ask at ¥25,800 (~$168).
The SAR at 090/063 is illustrated by sui. Check the card number when comparing it with the SR at 084/063: they are separate prints with different artwork and asking prices. The dated table above keeps the two entries separate so character collectors can compare the version they want.
The Other Top 10 Cards
#3 — Mega Latias ex (SAR) — ¥3,500 / ~$23 The Eon Duo Pokemon in a stunning SAR treatment. Latias carries strong nostalgia factor from Ruby & Sapphire, and the artwork captures its graceful flying form.
#5 — Mega Kangaskhan ex (SAR) — ¥2,550 / ~$17 The parent-and-child Mega Evolution in SAR form. The dynamic artwork showing both Kangaskhan and its baby during Mega Evolution has earned strong community appreciation.
#6 — Acerola’s Prank (SR) — ¥1,000 / ~$6 The SR version of Acerola’s Prank. Character collectors who want the Acerola art at a more accessible price point pick up the SR as an alternative to the SAR.
#7 — Mega Gardevoir ex (SR) — ¥1,000 / ~$6 Standard SR illustration of the set’s flagship Mega Pokemon. A solid entry point for Gardevoir fans who want a premium version without SAR/MUR pricing.
#8 — Mega Latias ex (SR) — ¥1,000 / ~$6 The SR treatment of Mega Latias.
#9 — Mega Manectric ex (SR) — ¥1,000 / ~$6 The Electric-type Mega Evolution SR. Competitively relevant in certain builds.
#10 — Wally’s Compassion (SAR) — no ask seen October 8, 2026 A Supporter SAR featuring Wally in an emotional composition.
Should You Buy a Mega Symphonia Box?
Listed at Sealed ¥7,781 (~$51) at the time of this update, Mega Symphonia sits at one of the most accessible price points in the current MEGA era lineup. Here is how the set stacks up for different buyers.
For Collectors
Mega Symphonia is a collector’s set through and through. The MUR introduces a rarity tier unlike anything the Pokemon TCG has done before, and the SAR lineup features some of the strongest artwork in the MEGA era.
The Mega Evolution theme taps into deep nostalgia. Mega Gardevoir, Mega Latias, and Mega Kangaskhan are fan favorites that carry emotional weight beyond their market value.
Your move: At Sealed ¥7,781 (~$51), opening 1-2 boxes gives you the set experience, with the thrill of a potential SAR or the ultra-rare MUR.
For Players
For play, start with the exact cards your deck needs and check the current event format and language rules. Compare the card text and required quantities before selecting a product; this guide’s dated asking prices do not measure tournament results or a deck’s strength.
If you are building a Mega Gardevoir deck, purchasing singles may be more cost-effective for the specific cards you need. Consider a box if you want both playable cards and collector pulls.
Your move: Buy singles for specific deck pieces. A box makes sense if you want playables plus the collection experience.
Dated Asks for Reference
On October 8, 2026 the lowest SNKRDUNK asks were ¥27,000 (~$175) for the MUR (raw) and ¥144,000 (~$935) for the MUR (PSA 10); the Sealed box is listed at ¥7,781 (~$51) in our store, checked on October 15, 2026.
Your move: Check the SNKRDUNK listing for the exact print before you buy a single.

Mega Symphonia Pull Rates: What the Official Page Says
Mega Symphonia packs hold 5 cards each, inserted at random, according to The Pokémon Company’s product page; the pack count is printed on the box, not on the product page. The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates, so the table below lists the rarities in the set without per-box figures.

Choosing a Box or a Specific Card
The value of a box’s contents cannot be calculated from official figures because pull rates are not published. Choose a single when you want a particular card number and treatment; consider a box for the opening experience or a sealed collection. A single-card ask does not describe the contents you will receive in a box, so this guide does not convert chase-card prices into an expected return.
Singles vs Box
If you are targeting a specific high-value card, a single is the direct route; boxes suit the complete set experience — the thrill of pulling unknown cards, building a collection organically, and the chance at something extraordinary.
Variance
Box contents vary from box to box, and no official figure describes how often any card appears.
