The set is called Mega Symphonia. The card’s own attack is called Mega Symphonia, and that card is Mega Gardevoir ex, one of twelve Japanese Mega Gardevoir cards printed since 2014. There was never any doubt about which Pokemon was going to headline it.
Those prints fall into two completely separate eras — six in the 2025–26 “MEGA” series as Mega Gardevoir ex, and six back in 2014–2017 as M Gardevoir EX. The card name, the set code and the rarity system tell the two eras apart.
The full Gardevoir line, including the non-Mega SV-era and Tag Team cards, is ranked in our Gardevoir cards guide; the prints here are the cards that evolved into a Mega form.
Twelve Japanese Mega Gardevoir prints exist: six Mega Gardevoir ex cards from the 2025–26 MEGA series, and six M Gardevoir EX cards from the 2014–2017 XY era. The modern prints use the MEGA-series rarity tiers (RR, SR, SAR, MUR, MA); the XY prints use RR and SR, plus one Rare Holo reprint.

Every JP Print of Mega Gardevoir: The Complete Checklist
Two separate eras used the “Mega” mechanic on Gardevoir, and they use two different card names.
Mega Gardevoir ex is the 2025–26 card. M Gardevoir EX is the 2014–2017 card from the original XY Mega Evolution mechanic. Gardevoir EX / Gardevoir ex with no “M” or “Mega” in front is a base, non-Mega card in either era — a different Pokemon card entirely, even though the names look almost identical at a glance.
The Japanese print run for the Mega form, with the modern six per Bulbapedia’s full-prints table and Limitless’s card database, and the XY-era six per Bulbapedia’s card pages:
| # | Card | Set | Number | Rarity | JP release |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mega Gardevoir ex | Mega Symphonia (M1S) | 042/063 | RR | 2025-08-01 |
| 2 | Mega Gardevoir ex | Mega Symphonia (M1S) | 078/063 | SR | 2025-08-01 |
| 3 | Mega Gardevoir ex | Mega Symphonia (M1S) | 087/063 | SAR | 2025-08-01 |
| 4 | Mega Gardevoir ex | Mega Symphonia (M1S) | 092/063 | MUR | 2025-08-01 |
| 5 | Mega Gardevoir ex | MEGA Dream ex (M2a) | 071/193 | RR | 2025-11-28 |
| 6 | Mega Gardevoir ex | MEGA Dream ex (M2a) | 226/193 | MA | 2025-11-28 |
| 7 | M Gardevoir EX | Tidal Storm (XY5) | 051/070 | RR | 2014-12-13 |
| 8 | M Gardevoir EX | Tidal Storm (XY5) | 076/070 | SR | 2014-12-13 |
| 9 | M Gardevoir EX | PokéKyun Collection (CP3) | 020/032 | RR | 2016-01-29 |
| 10 | M Gardevoir EX | Cruel Traitor (XY11) | 039/054 | RR | 2016-06-17 |
| 11 | M Gardevoir EX | Cruel Traitor (XY11) | 057/054 | SR | 2016-06-17 |
| 12 | M Gardevoir EX | The Best of XY | 092/171 | Rare Holo | 2017-04-21 |
As of August 2026, no Mega Gardevoir ex print appeared in M1L, M2, M3, M4, M5 or M6; the modern prints are the M1S and M2a cards. The six English-language equivalents of the 2025–26 card are Mega Evolution 060/132 (Double Rare), 159/132 (Ultra Rare Full Art), 178/132 (Special Illustration Rare), 187/132 (Mega Hyper Rare, the EN tier of the JP MUR), plus Ascended Heroes 089/217 and a March 2026 Black Star Promo.
The Cover Card of M1S: How Mega Symphonia Got Its Name
拡張パック「メガシンフォニア」(Mega Symphonia, M1S) launched on August 1, 2025 alongside M1L as the debut pair of Japan’s MEGA series. The set’s own name is literally the card’s second attack — not a coincidence, since Mega Gardevoir ex is widely treated by Japanese card-list sites and community rankings as the set’s headline Pokemon.
The card itself: Stage 2 (evolves from Kirlia), Psychic type, 360 HP, weak to Darkness ×2, resists Fighting −30, retreat cost 2. Its first attack, Overflowing Wishes, searches your deck for a Basic Psychic Energy and attaches it to each Benched Pokemon for 1 Psychic Energy. Its second attack, Mega Symphonia, deals 50 damage for every Psychic Energy attached across your whole board — and like every Mega Evolution ex card, it gives up three Prize cards on knockout instead of the usual one.
M1S runs 92 species across the main set, with 12 AR, 11 SR, 5 SAR, and a single MUR — the printing that sits at the top of the pull ladder. For the full 92-card breakdown, see our M1S Mega Symphonia card list.
The 2025–26 Mega Era: Mega Gardevoir ex (6 Prints)
Four of the six prints come from M1S; the other two arrived four months later in ハイクラスパック「MEGAドリームex」(MEGA Dream ex, M2a), released November 28, 2025. M2a is a 250-card set (Normal/R 001–193, 20 AR, 9 SR, 17 SAR, and a single MUR) built around a new top rarity that debuted with this set — MA (Mega Attack Rare), ten of which appear across the checklist.
Our M1S Mega Symphonia booster box is offered in Sealed and No Shrink options.
The XY-Era Original: M Gardevoir EX (6 Prints, 2014–2017)
Eleven years before “Mega” became a set name, Gardevoir got its first Mega treatment as M Gardevoir EX — six Japanese prints spread across three expansion sets and one concept pack between December 2014 and April 2017.
拡張パック「タイダルストーム」(Tidal Storm, XY5) released December 13, 2014 with two Mega prints: an RR at 051/070 and an SR at 076/070. The SR’s English counterpart is the Primal Clash full art 156/160.
コンセプトパック「ポケキュンコレクション」(PokéKyun Collection, CP3), released January 29, 2016, holds the RR at 020/032 — a concept pack, not a half-deck product, despite the number sometimes being mistaken for one.
拡張パック「冷酷の反逆者」(Cruel Traitor, XY11) released June 17, 2016 with an RR at 039/054 and an SR at 057/054, the Steam Siege full art 112/114 in English. Cruel Traitor is one of two paired subsets released under the XY11 set code, the other being Fever-Burst Fighter.
ハイクラスパック「The Best of XY」 closed out the era on April 21, 2017 with a Japan-only Rare Holo reprint at 092/171, never released in English.
Japan’s 1st Edition print window ran from 2001 through the December 2016 20th Anniversary expansion, so a 1ED stamp on either the 2014 Tidal Storm or 2016 Cruel Traitor print is era-consistent — this is a general rule about the print window, not a guarantee for every individual card.
PSA 10 Price Ladder
Our graded PSA 10 Mega Gardevoir listings (the M2a MA 226/193, the M1S SAR 087/063 and MUR 092/063, and the XY5 SR 076/070, XY11 SR 057/054 and CP3 RR 020/032) are sold out or no longer listed at the time of this update — sourcing requests go through Quick Order. PSA 10 designates Gem Mint condition per PSA’s published grading standards. Graded prices for other Mega ex cards are compared in our PSA10 Mega Pokemon cards guide.
MUR vs SAR vs MA: Reading the Rarity Tiers
The 2025–26 MEGA series introduced rarity tiers that didn’t exist in the XY era:
- MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) — the gold-etched top rarity for Mega Evolution ex cards, built around circular-background artwork. M1S and M2a each carry a single MUR; in M1S it is Mega Gardevoir ex 092/063.
- SAR (Special Art Rare) — the alternate full-art treatment one tier below MUR; Mega Gardevoir ex 087/063 is the M1S SAR.
- MA (Mega Attack Rare) — a new rarity that debuted with M2a in November 2025; Mega Gardevoir ex 226/193 is one of the M2a MA cards.
The vintage XY-era cards use an older, simpler system — RR and SR only, with no MUR or MA equivalent. That’s part of why the two systems don’t line up cleanly: a modern RR (M2a 071/193) and a vintage RR (XY11 039/054) aren’t directly comparable, because the pull structures they come from are different.
Which Mega Gardevoir Print Fits Your Collection
By collecting angle, the prints sort like this:
- Current-era set cover card — the M1S MUR 092/063, the card most closely tied to Mega Symphonia’s cover story.
- Newest rarity tier in the checklist — the M2a MA 226/193, a Mega Attack Rare from MEGA Dream ex.
- Japan-only print — The Best of XY 092/171 Rare Holo.
- Concept-pack print — the CP3 RR 020/032 from PokéKyun Collection.
- 1st Edition era — the XY5 SR 076/070 or the XY11 SR 057/054, both printed inside Japan’s 1st Edition print window.

A Gardevoir card outside the twelve Mega-form prints is likely one of the base (non-Mega) prints from the same eras — including the SV-era Shiny Treasure ex reprint, Gardevoir ex 348/190 SAR [SV4a].

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Mega Gardevoir cards are there in Japanese?
Twelve total: six Mega Gardevoir ex prints from the 2025–26 MEGA series (four from M1S, two from M2a) and six M Gardevoir EX prints from the 2014–2017 XY era (Tidal Storm, PokéKyun Collection, Cruel Traitor, and The Best of XY).
What’s the difference between Mega Gardevoir ex and M Gardevoir EX?
Mega Gardevoir ex is the current-era card (2025–26, Psychic, 360 HP) from the MEGA series. M Gardevoir EX is the older XY-era Mega Evolution card (2014–2017). They’re different cards from different rule sets despite the near-identical name.
What are the English counterparts of the XY-era M Gardevoir EX SR prints?
The XY5 SR 076/070 corresponds to the Primal Clash full art 156/160, and the XY11 SR 057/054 to the Steam Siege full art 112/114. The Best of XY Rare Holo 092/171 is a Japan-only reprint that was never released in English.
What is MA (Mega Attack Rare)?
MA is a new rarity tier that debuted with M2a MEGA Dream ex in November 2025. Mega Gardevoir ex 226/193 is one of the MA cards in M2a.
Is the CP3 020/032 M Gardevoir EX from a half deck?
No — it’s from PokéKyun Collection, a January 2016 concept pack, not a half-deck product. The confusion is common because of the low card number, but Bulbapedia’s card pages confirm it as a concept-pack RR.
Why is the M1S set called Mega Symphonia?
Mega Symphonia is the second attack of Mega Gardevoir ex: it deals 50 damage for every Psychic Energy attached across your whole board. 拡張パック「メガシンフォニア」 (M1S) launched on August 1, 2025 alongside M1L as the debut pair of Japan’s MEGA series.
Where can I buy a graded Mega Gardevoir PSA 10?
Our graded Mega Gardevoir PSA 10 listings are sold out or no longer listed at the time of this update — sourcing requests go through Quick Order. Other graded Japanese Pokemon cards are in our PSA10 collection, from vintage XY through the current Mega era.
