An Inferno X booster box comes down to one card at the very end of its checklist, number 116/080 — and it’s the reason this set is still worth opening almost a year after release.
Inferno X (インフェルノX, set code M2) is a standalone Japanese Pokemon TCG expansion built around a single chase: Mega Charizard X ex, printed across four separate rarity tiers, topping out at a gold Mega Ultra Rare that sits at the very back of the set. It released September 26, 2025, as part of the MEGA-era lineup of Japanese expansions — sets built around the newly reintroduced Mega Evolution mechanic and a new top rarity tier that goes above the familiar Special Art Rare.
If you’re deciding whether a sealed Inferno X box is worth buying, this guide covers exactly what’s inside, what the four Mega Charizard X ex printings are worth, how the box compares to other MEGA-era product, and where to buy the box and the singles from Japan.
Each Inferno X box is 30 packs of 5 cards (150 cards total) for a ¥5,400 MSRP. The set runs 80 base cards plus 36 secret-tier cards for 116 total, and Mega Charizard X ex appears four times — RR 013/080, SR 094/080, SAR 110/080, and the flagship MUR 116/080. A PSA 10 of the MUR is currently listed at ¥312,743 (~$2,031).

What’s Inside an Inferno X Booster Box
Inferno X (ポケモンカードゲーム MEGA 拡張パック「インフェルノX」) released in Japan on September 26, 2025 as a standalone expansion — it has no sister set sharing the same release day, unlike several other entries in the MEGA era lineup.
Each pack costs ¥180 and contains 5 cards. A sealed box holds 30 packs, for a total of 150 cards and a box MSRP of ¥5,400 (~$35) in Japan.
The set’s card pool breaks down as:
| Tier | Card range | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Base set | 001–080 | 80 |
| Art Rare (AR) | 081–092 | 12 |
| Secret Rare (SR) | 093–109 | 17 |
| Special Art Rare (SAR) | 110–115 | 6 |
| Mega Ultra Rare (MUR) | 116 | 1 |
| Total | — | 116 |
That SR count — 17 cards — is on the higher side for the MEGA-era lineup, and it includes an unusual entry: Ignition Energy (イグニッションエネルギー) 109/080 is the set’s one Special Energy printed at Secret Rare. Beyond the Charizard and Dawn lines covered below, the SR tier also holds secret-rare printings of Mega Heracross ex, Oricorio ex, Rotom ex, Mismagius ex, Mega Sharpedo ex, Empoleon ex, and Mega Lopunny ex — each with its own base-set RR counterpart, and several (Oricorio ex, Rotom ex, Mega Sharpedo ex, Mega Lopunny ex) with an SAR printing as well.
Boxes ship 12 to a carton at the retail level in Japan, which is worth knowing if you’re comparing per-box math against case pricing elsewhere. Full pull-rate breakdowns per tier live in our Inferno X pull rates guide; this article focuses on what to buy and what it costs.

The Chase: Mega Charizard X ex, Four Ways
Inferno X only has one Mega Ultra Rare, and it’s Mega Charizard X ex — the card at collection number 116/080, the very last slot in the set. That alone makes it the set’s verified flagship MUR pull.
What makes Mega Charizard X ex unusual is that Inferno X prints the same Pokemon at four separate rarity tiers, each a distinct illustration and finish:
| Printing | Number | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Charizard X ex | 013/080 | RR (Double Rare) |
| Mega Charizard X ex | 094/080 | SR (Secret Rare) |
| Mega Charizard X ex | 110/080 | SAR (Special Art Rare) |
| Mega Charizard X ex | 116/080 | MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) |
The MUR is the gold-finish top card — a brand-new illustration rather than a gold recolor of an existing full art, which is the defining trait of the Mega Ultra Rare tier introduced with this MEGA-era generation. A PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥312,743 (~$2,031). On SNKRDUNK, the lowest asking price for the MUR is ¥75,000 (~$487) as of September 15, 2026 (any condition).
The SAR at 110/080 is a textured special-art printing one tier below the MUR in the rarity ladder — the more attainable top-tier target for collectors who aren’t chasing the gold MUR specifically. A PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥128,304 (~$833).
The RR (013/080) and SR (094/080) versions are the more attainable printings — standard holofoil and secret-rare treatments of the same Pokemon, without the special-art or gold finishes. A PSA 10 RR is currently listed at ¥6,286 (~$41), and a PSA 10 SR is currently listed at ¥9,634 (~$63) — the entry point if your goal is simply to own the card rather than chase the top tier.
Check the card number in the bottom corner. 013/080 and 094/080 use the standard card frame; 110/080 has the special-art full-bleed treatment; 116/080 is the only one with the gold MUR finish.
Other Notable Pulls: Dawn (Hikari)
Mega Charizard X ex isn’t the only chase in the box. The Supporter card Dawn (ヒカリ) also gets the SR-and-SAR double treatment, and Supporter chases tend to hold steady collector interest independent of the set’s main Pokemon.
A PSA 10 of the 115/080 SAR is currently listed at ¥9,100 (~$59), and a PSA 10 of the 106/080 SR is currently listed at ¥7,156 (~$46).
Beyond Dawn, the AR tier (081–092) covers twelve non-secret alternate-art Pokemon, including Wigglytuff (091/080) and Ambipom (092/080). PSA 10 copies are currently listed at ¥4,666 (~$30) for Wigglytuff and currently listed at ¥4,450 (~$29) for Ambipom. These AR pulls sit at the lower end of the secret-tier rarity ladder rather than being chase-tier hits, and they’re a reasonable way to gauge whether a given box was a “good” open even without hitting the SAR or MUR tiers.
Japanese Inferno X Booster Box Price (Sept 2026)
The Japanese MSRP for an Inferno X box is ¥5,400 (~$35) — but that’s the domestic Japan retail price, not an imported, tracked-shipping price landed internationally. Our sealed Inferno X box is currently listed at ¥15,360 (~$100), shipped from Tokyo with tracked delivery.
Because Inferno X has been out since September 2025 rather than being a brand-new release, this is our current listed price for a box that’s roughly a year into its shelf life, as of September 2026.
We also carry a damaged-box listing, currently at ¥15,980 (~$104) — see the product page for its condition details. For reference, the lowest asking price on SNKRDUNK for a sealed Inferno X box is ¥16,399 (~$106) as of September 15, 2026 (any condition).
How Inferno X Compares to Other MEGA-Era Boxes
Inferno X is one of the four MEGA-era sets compared in this guide, each built around its own flagship Mega ex and its own single MUR. Here’s how the product specs line up:
| Set | Release | MSRP/pack | Base | Total | MUR card |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Brave (M1L) | 2025-08-01 | ¥180 | 63 | 92 | Mega Lucario ex 092 |
| Inferno X (M2) | 2025-09-26 | ¥180 | 80 | 116 | Mega Charizard X ex 116 |
| Ninja Spinner (M4) | 2026-03-13 | ¥180 | 83 | 120 | Mega Greninja ex 120 |
| Abyss Eye (M5) | 2026-05-22 | ¥200 | 81 | 118 | Mega Darkrai ex 118 |
All four boxes are 30 packs of 5 cards, and Inferno X, Mega Brave, and Ninja Spinner share the same ¥180-per-pack Japan MSRP — Abyss Eye was the first MEGA-era set to step the price up to ¥200. Inferno X’s total card count of 116 sits between Mega Brave’s 92 and the two later sets’ 118–120, and its secret-tier count (36 cards across AR/SR/SAR/MUR) is the second-largest of the four.
The practical difference for a buyer is which Mega ex you want to chase. Charizard’s broader franchise profile is a meaningful factor if you’re choosing between sealed product from these sets on collector appeal alone rather than pure card-pool size.
Who Should Buy This Box
Inferno X makes sense for a specific kind of buyer:
- Mega Charizard X collectors. If you’re building a collection around this specific Pokemon, Inferno X is the only place to pull the MUR, SAR, SR, and RR versions from a single box — no other set carries this exact print run.
- Buyers who want odds at all four Charizard X tiers in one box. Since the RR, SR, SAR, and MUR are all live pulls from the same 30-pack box, opening product gives shots at every tier rather than a single fixed printing.
- Collectors comfortable buying an established (non-release-week) set. Inferno X has been available since September 2025 rather than being a brand-new release, so what you see here is our current listed price rather than a launch-week figure.
- Buyers who’d rather compare Mega ex options first. If Mega Charizard X isn’t the specific pull you’re after, the comparison table above is the starting point for weighing Inferno X against Mega Brave, Ninja Spinner, or Abyss Eye product instead.
If you’d rather target the chase card directly instead of opening packs, our graded singles — including the PSA 10 MUR at ¥312,743 (~$2,031) — are the more direct route. For the full breakdown of every Mega Charizard X ex printing and how it compares to Mega Charizard X ex cards from other sets, see our Mega Charizard X ex card guide. And for the wider context on the set — release story, full card list, and set mechanics — our Inferno X complete guide covers it in depth.
