Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection vs Japan’s M2 Pokemon Box

What the Ultra-Premium Collection Includes

The official page is titled Pokémon TCG: Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection and prints “Launch: November 14, 2025”. Its description opens with “The immense power of Mega Evolution has brought forth the flickering blue flames of Mega Charizard X ex!” and says the card burns up Fire Energy to fuel its Inferno X attack, doing more damage for each card discarded. The page then lists the contents under “The Pokémon TCG: Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection includes:”.

The page adds that the collection is sold at the Pokémon Center and where Pokémon TCG products are sold. The page calls both promos foil promo cards.

Bulbapedia’s merchandise page for the Mega Evolution series (October 2, 2026) calls it the first Ultra-Premium Collection of the series and lists the promos as MEP Promo 023 (Mega Charizard X ex) and MEP Promo 024 (Oricorio ex). Bulbapedia also describes a stitched-edge playmat and a metallic coin, and reports that the 18 packs come from both the Mega Evolution Series and the Scarlet & Violet Series, typically four each of Phantasmal Flames, Mega Evolution, Destined Rivals and Journey Together and two of Surging Sparks. The official page uses the plain words “playmat” and “metal coin”.

What the Japanese Inferno X (M2) Box Is

The official Japanese page describes Inferno X as a MEGA expansion pack: five cards per pack at ¥180 with tax, released on Friday, September 26, 2025, with cards inserted at random. The official card database prints the main-set numbers over 080, so a card such as Mega Charizard X ex RR reads 013/080. The set’s full numbering is on the Inferno X (M2) card list, and the longer set write-ups are the Inferno X complete guide and the Inferno X booster box buying guide.

Bulbapedia’s page for the English Phantasmal Flames set (October 2, 2026) states that Phantasmal Flames includes cards released in the Japanese Inferno X expansion, as well as the MEGA Starter Set Mega Gengar ex and the MEGA Starter Set Mega Diancie ex. That is a statement about the set as a whole; card-by-card matches rest on what the official database and Limitless TCG list.

A second Japanese product matters for this collection. MEGA Dream ex (M2a) is a High Class Pack: the official page prints ¥550 per pack, 10 cards per pack and a release of Friday, November 28, 2025, and the official database numbers its cards over 193. As of September 30, 2026, the database shows AR 20, SR 9, MA 10, SAR 17 and MUR 1 beyond 193. One of the ten MA cards is the Mega Charizard X ex that pairs with the collection’s first promo. The two Japanese boxes are compared in the M2 vs M2a box guide.

Mega Charizard X ex: English Prints Against Japanese Prints

As of October 2, 2026, the official Japanese card database returns five cards named メガリザードンXex (rendering: Mega Charizard X ex): four in Inferno X and one in MEGA Dream ex. Limitless TCG (October 2, 2026) lists four English prints in Phantasmal Flames, PFL 13, 109, 125 and 130, and two promos, MEP 23 and MEP 29. Limitless uses its own rarity names, such as Double Rare and Secret Rare, while the official Japanese icons read RR, SR, SAR, MUR and MA.

Bulbapedia’s card page (October 2, 2026) describes the set cards as a Regular card, a Full Art ultra rare, a special illustration rare and a gold-etched Mega hyper rare, first released in the Japanese Inferno X expansion, with the special illustration rare credited to danciao and the other set prints to takuyoa. A shared illustrator credit is a credit match only; image identity between an English print and its Japanese partner is not confirmed.

Mega Charizard X ex RR 013/080

The RR is the regular print in the 80-card main range. The database shows a Stage 2 Pokemon with 360 HP, Fire type, Weakness Water ×2, no Resistance and a retreat cost of 2, credited to takuyoa. Limitless lists the English PFL 13 with the same credit.

Mega Charizard X ex SR 094/080

The SR is numbered beyond the printed set size and carries the same takuyoa credit that Limitless gives for PFL 109. The card text matches the RR.

Mega Charizard X ex SAR 110/080 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order)

The SAR is the one Inferno X print credited to danciao, which is the credit Limitless gives for the English Special Art Rare PFL 125 and Bulbapedia gives for the special illustration rare print.

Mega Charizard X ex MUR 116/080

The MUR is numbered 116/080, beyond the printed set size, and is credited to takuyoa. Limitless lists PFL 130 as its English partner, with the same credit.

What the Japanese card text says

The five Japanese pages carry one text. The attack インフェルノX (rendering: Inferno X) costs two Fire Energy and does 90× damage: the card discards any number of Fire Energy attached to the player’s Pokemon in play and does 90 damage for each one discarded. Its special rule gives the opponent 3 Prize cards when a Mega Evolution ex is Knocked Out. The official collection page’s line about doing more damage for each card discarded describes this attack.

Oricorio ex: MEP 24 and the Inferno X SAR

As of October 2, 2026, the official database returns three cards named オドリドリex (rendering: Oricorio ex), all in Inferno X. Limitless lists two English set prints, PFL 18 and PFL 110, and the promo MEP 24, credited to Shinji Kanda.

Bulbapedia’s Oricorio ex page (October 2, 2026) says the special illustration rare print was “available as an MEP Black Star Promotional card in the Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection”, while the Regular and Full Art ultra rare prints are in the English Phantasmal Flames set. On that account the Inferno X SAR has no print in the English set; its English counterpart is the collection’s promo.

Oricorio ex SAR 111/080

The SAR is a Basic Pokemon with 190 HP, Fire type, Weakness Water ×2 and a retreat cost of 1. Its ability エキサイトターボ (rendering: Excite Turbo) can be used any number of times during the player’s turn when a Fire-type Mega Evolution ex is in play: it attaches a Basic Fire Energy from the hand to a Benched Fire Pokemon. The attack ほのおのつばさ (rendering: Fiery Wings) costs two Fire Energy and one Colorless and does 110 damage. The official collection page describes the card as one that helps “get more Fire Energy into play”.

Oricorio ex SR 095/080

The SR is credited to 5ban Graphics, the credit Limitless gives for PFL 110, and carries the same text as the SAR.

Oricorio ex RR 018/080

The RR is the regular print, credited to akagi, matching Limitless’s PFL 18.

Status labels: official for claims on an official page or in the official card database, reported for claims that name an outlet, and not confirmed for claims that no source prints.

Dated SNKRDUNK Asks for the Japanese Mega Charizard X ex and Oricorio ex Prints

Asks are the lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, October 2, 2026, by condition grade, from each product page’s grid. A ¥1,000 entry is SNKRDUNK’s display floor, not a quoted ask, and none of the figures is a sale price.

SNKRDUNK’s PSA 9 asks for the two upper Mega Charizard X ex prints are ¥67,000 (~$435) for the SAR and ¥78,800 (~$512) for the MUR.

The SAR and MUR carry the highest dated asks among the Inferno X prints checked, and the MA 223/193 sits much lower than either. Matching illustrator credits, such as Saboteri on MEP 23 and M2a 223/193, do not indicate that two prints are priced alike.

Buying Checklist: Collection or Japanese Box

Seven checks separate the English collection from a Japanese M2 box.

• Product type. The collection is 18 English packs, two promos and accessories; a Japanese M2 box is a box of Japanese packs. Neither page lists the other’s contents.
• Print numbers over names. English Mega Charizard X ex prints are PFL 13, 109, 125 and 130, with the promos MEP 23 and MEP 29. The Japanese prints are M2 013, 094, 110 and 116 over 080, and M2a 223 over 193.
• Credit comparison. takuyoa is credited on three of the four set pairs and danciao on the SAR pair; the promo MEP 23 pairs with Saboteri’s MA print. A credit match is not an artwork match.
• Promo source. Per Bulbapedia, MEP 23 and MEP 24 belong to the collection and MEP 29 to the Mega Charizard Tins.
• Right product for the price. The Damaged Box, the No Shrink Damaged Box and the standard box with its Sealed and No Shrink options are priced independently.
• Dated asks. A SNKRDUNK figure is an asking price tied to a date, with ¥1,000 marking the display floor.
• Graded card titles. A listing title spells out the grade, set code and card number, as in PSA10 MEGA Charizard X ex SAR [M2 110/080].
