Inferno X is the third set in Pokemon’s Japanese MEGA era, and it put Mega Charizard X front and center — across four different rarities in the same 116-card set. If you’re trying to figure out what’s actually in this set, which card is the real chase, or whether the sealed box you’re looking at is priced fairly, this guide covers all three.
We stock Inferno X (M2) sealed boxes and singles out of Tokyo, so the numbers below come from a set we handle directly — not a secondhand summary.
Inferno X (M2) is a 116-card set headlined by Mega Charizard X ex, with a single MUR, six SAR chase cards, and 17 SR cards. Our sealed box is ¥15,980 — roughly 30% under the ¥22,693 shrink-intact asking price we measured on SNKRDUNK on August 6, 2026.
What Is Inferno X (M2)?
Inferno X (Japanese: インフェルノX, product code M2) is a Japanese Pokemon TCG expansion pack that released on September 26, 2025. It’s the third set in the MEGA era, following the launch pair M1L (Mega Brave) and M1S (Mega Symphonia), which both released August 1, 2025.
Per the official product page, Inferno X is built around Fire-Energy-based explosive-damage offense, centered on Mega Evolution Pokemon-ex and Pokemon-ex generally, with status-condition (confusion) support mechanics layered in. The set’s flagship is Mega Charizard X ex, which appears across four separate rarities — a base printing within the 001-080 numbered run, an SR at 094/080, an SAR at 110/080, and the set’s top MUR at 116/080. A secondary fan characterization frames the set as a Fire/Dark pairing via Mega Charizard X and Mega Sharpedo, though that framing comes from retailer commentary rather than the official product page copy.
If you’re comparing this set to what came before or after it in the MEGA lineup, our Japanese Mega booster box price index tracks sealed pricing across the whole era, and our Mega Evolution chase card guide covers how MUR and SAR rarities compare across sets generally.
Full Rarity Breakdown: All 116 Cards
Inferno X totals 116 species across five rarity tiers, verified against the set’s numbered card list:
| Rarity | Card numbers | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal / R | 001–080 | 80 | Base numbered set |
| AR | 081–092 | 12 | Alternate Art Rare |
| SR | 093–109 | 17 | SR full-art / special illustration |
| SAR | 110–115 | 6 | SAR Special Art Rare — the chase tier |
| MUR | 116 | 1 | MUR Mega Ultra Rare — the top card |
The 17 SR cards (093–109/080) mix Pokemon-ex reprints of the SAR headliners with Trainer, Supporter, Stadium, and Special Energy cards:
| No. | Card (Japanese name) | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 093/080 | Mega Heracross ex | Pokemon |
| 094/080 | Mega Charizard X ex | Pokemon |
| 095/080 | Oricorio ex | Pokemon |
| 096/080 | Rotom ex | Pokemon |
| 097/080 | Mismagius ex | Pokemon |
| 098/080 | Mega Sharpedo ex | Pokemon |
| 099/080 | Empoleon ex | Pokemon |
| 100/080 | Mega Lopunny ex | Pokemon |
| 101/080 | ヒートバーナー (item, unverified EN name) | Item |
| 102/080 | Switch | Trainer |
| 103/080 | せいなるおまもり (unverified EN name) | Trainer |
| 104/080 | パンクメット (unverified EN name) | Trainer |
| 105/080 | ギーマの一手 (unverified EN name) | Supporter |
| 106/080 | Dawn (SR printing — separate from the SAR below) | Supporter |
| 107/080 | ひふきやろう (unverified EN name) | Trainer |
| 108/080 | Battle Colosseum | Stadium |
| 109/080 | Ignition Energy | Special Energy |
A note on the English names above: Inferno X has not had an official English-language release, so the English glosses in this table are informal translations of the Japanese card names, not confirmed localizations. Only the Japanese names are directly source-confirmed. Treat the English wording as a reading aid, not a final localized name.
The SAR Chase Card Lineup
Six SAR cards sit at 110–115/080, and this is the tier most buyers are actually chasing when they open a box — the MUR is the headline, but the SAR run is where most of the set’s collector value concentrates because there are six shots at pulling one instead of one.
| No. | Card | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| 110/080 | Mega Charizard X ex | SAR |
| 111/080 | Oricorio ex | SAR |
| 112/080 | Rotom ex | SAR |
| 113/080 | Mega Sharpedo ex | SAR |
| 114/080 | Mega Lopunny ex | SAR |
| 115/080 | Dawn | SAR |
Community “当たりカード” (chase card) ranking articles from Japanese fan and retailer sites repeatedly cite a similar order for collector interest, though this is community opinion rather than an official or price-verified ranking, and we’re not reproducing any dollar figures attached to it here:
- Mega Charizard X ex (MUR) 116/080 — cited as the top chase card across multiple ranking articles.
- Mega Charizard X ex (SAR) 110/080 — consistently cited as the second-tier chase card, and the SAR most buyers are realistically hoping to land.
- Mega Charizard X ex (SR) 094/080 — a notable but lower-tier chase, since it’s a step down in both rarity and price from the SAR and MUR printings of the same Pokemon.
- Oricorio ex (SAR) 111/080 — cited among the top non-Charizard SAR chases.
- Dawn (SAR) 115/080 — called out repeatedly for character-popularity-driven demand rather than in-game utility. Dawn is the Sinnoh-region protagonist from the Diamond/Pearl games, and this Supporter card draws collector interest specifically because of who’s illustrated on it.
One disambiguation worth flagging: Dawn also has a separate, lower-rarity SR printing at 106/080. The SAR at 115/080 is the chase version — don’t confuse the two when you’re checking listings.
MUR Spotlight: Mega Charizard X ex 116/080
The set’s single MUR is Mega Charizard X ex, 116/080, a Fire-type Stage 2 Pokemon confirmed as the flagship across multiple independent retailer listings and the official product page. It’s the same Pokemon that anchors the SR (094/080) and SAR (110/080) print runs, which is why Mega Charizard X ends up dominating both the set’s marketing and its chase-card conversation.
Per retailer product listings for this card (not the official rules text, so we’re flagging it as secondary-sourced), the card’s named attack is “Inferno X” — discard any number of Energy attached to this Pokemon, dealing 90 damage per Energy card discarded. That’s a scalable, all-in attack line consistent with the set’s stated Fire-Energy-to-damage theme.
The official product page’s catalog copy for the set translates roughly to “turn a mass of Fire Energy into explosive attack power and burn everything down,” and Mega Charizard X ex is the card that copy is describing.
Box Economics: Pack Price, Box Count, and Our Price Gap
The official product page confirms a pack price of ¥180 (tax included) with 5 cards per pack. What the official page does not state is packs-per-box — that figure isn’t published on pokemon-card.com. Multiple independent retail and fan sources converge on 30 packs per box at ¥5,400 (tax included), which lines up arithmetically with the confirmed per-pack price, but we’re flagging it as retailer-corroborated rather than officially confirmed, since the primary source doesn’t list it.
On pricing, this is where Inferno X gets interesting for overseas buyers. We measured Inferno X box asking prices on SNKRDUNK on August 6, 2026: a shrink-intact box was asking ¥22,693, while a box with shrink removed was asking closer to ¥17,500. Our own sealed Inferno X booster box is ¥15,980 — about 30% under that shrink-intact market ask, and still under the no-shrink figure.
Inferno X released nearly a year ago as of this writing, and MEGA-era product has kept moving through secondary channels at a premium as newer sets (M3 through M6) have shifted collector attention forward. That’s part of why a slightly older MEGA-era box can sit meaningfully under fresher secondary-market asks — the chase (Mega Charizard X ex across three rarities) hasn’t gone anywhere, but the immediate release-week price pressure has.
If you’re chasing Dawn specifically rather than opening for her, we also carry a graded single: PSA 10 Dawn (SAR) 115/080 at ¥14,103 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), in stock. That’s a store price, not a market comparison — we’re not claiming it beats a specific external ask, just noting it’s the graded route if you’d rather skip the box entirely.
Pull Rates: What’s Rumor vs What’s Confirmed
We want to be direct about this section because pull-rate numbers circulate widely and get treated as fact when they’re not. Pokemon does not publish official pull rates on the Inferno X product page — there are no odds figures anywhere on pokemon-card.com for this set.
One fan aggregator site states community-reported figures of roughly “1 MUR per 50 boxes, about 1 per 3 cartons” and a “guaranteed” SAR rate of roughly “1 per 3.3 boxes.” We’re including these because they’re the numbers circulating in the community, but they come from a single fan source, are not corroborated against any official statement, and should be treated as rumor — not as odds you can plan a purchase around.
The practical takeaway: six SAR slots plus a base/SR/SAR/MUR-spread Mega Charizard X ex means the set rewards opening more boxes rather than one, but we can’t verify a specific rate at which that pays off, and neither can most of the sites citing numbers on this set.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Inferno X (M2)?
Inferno X is a Japanese Pokemon TCG expansion pack (product code M2) released on September 26, 2025, as the third set in the MEGA era. It’s a 116-card set headlined by Mega Charizard X ex, which appears across the base run, SR, SAR, and MUR rarities.
How many cards are in the Inferno X card list?
116 species total: 80 Normal/R cards (001–080), 12 AR cards (081–092), 17 SR cards (093–109), 6 SAR cards (110–115), and 1 MUR card (116).
What is the rarest card in Inferno X?
The Mega Ultra Rare (MUR) Mega Charizard X ex at 116/080 is the set’s single top-rarity card. The six SAR cards at 110–115/080 sit one tier below it, with the SAR Mega Charizard X ex (110/080) most cited as the second-tier chase.
Why is your Inferno X booster box cheaper than other listings?
Our sealed box is priced at ¥15,980. We measured a shrink-intact Inferno X box asking ¥22,693 on SNKRDUNK on August 6, 2026 — our price sits roughly 30% under that. We source and ship directly from Tokyo, which removes a layer of secondary-market markup.
Is the Dawn SAR card worth chasing?
Dawn (115/080, SAR) is cited repeatedly in community chase-card rankings, but the demand appears driven by character popularity — she’s the Diamond/Pearl protagonist — rather than competitive utility. A separate, lower-rarity SR printing of Dawn exists at 106/080; make sure you’re looking at 115/080 if you want the SAR.
Can I buy Inferno X (M2) product from Japan if I live overseas?
Yes. We ship Japanese sealed Inferno X boxes and singles internationally from Tokyo with tracked delivery, through our booster box listing, PSA 10 singles collection, or the Quick Order page for mixed orders.
