Pokemon Mega Latias ex Box vs the Japanese Mega Symphonia (M1S) Box

The Promo Card: Mega Latias ex MEP 11

Limitless TCG lists the promo as Mega Promos (MEP) #11, Mega Latias ex, a Basic Dragon Pokémon with HP 280, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, and lists its other prints as Mega Evolution 100, 163 and 181 internationally and Mega Symphonia 49, 79 and 88 in Japan. Limitless shows no Japanese promo print. Bulbapedia’s MEP Black Star Promos list carries the row “011, I, Mega Latias ex (+ Jumbo), Dragon, Mega Latias ex Box”.

The official Japanese card database lists three cards named メガラティアスex as of October 2, 2026, all in M1S, and has no promo (M-P) row for the name.

Bulbapedia’s card page for Mega Latias ex states: “A print of the Regular card with alternate artwork was available as one of the MEP Black Star Promos in the Mega Latias ex Box from October 10, 2025.” The illustrator credit of the promo, 5ban Graphics, coincides with the credit on M1S 049/063 and 079/063, but Bulbapedia describes the promo artwork as alternate, so MEP 11 is not paired with any Japanese card.

Neither Bulbapedia’s MEP Black Star Promos list nor Limitless TCG’s MEP list shows a Mega Latios ex row, and no Mega Latios ex Box exists on pokemon.com as of October 2, 2026. Latios cards in Japanese sets are covered in our Latios Japanese Pokemon cards guide and the pair in the Latias and Latios cards guide.

English Box and Japanese Box Side by Side

The two products differ in what they are: a boxed promo set with four packs, and a sealed box of expansion packs.

The English box is built around one card as a promo. The Japanese box is built around an expansion, and the Mega Latias ex prints are three of its cards. Print and packaging differences between the markets are set out in our Japanese versus English Pokemon cards comparison.

Mega Latias ex: Three English Prints and Three Japanese Prints

The official Japanese card database lists three cards named メガラティアスex, all in M1S. Limitless TCG lists three English set prints. The pairs are made on shared illustrator credits, which indicate a likely relationship but do not compare the images themselves.

Bulbapedia’s infobox pairs 100/132 with Mega Symphonia 049/063, 163/132 with 079/063 and 181/132 with 088/063, and its captions credit 5ban Graphics for the Regular and Full Art ultra rare prints and AKIRA EGAWA for the special illustration rare print. Rarity labels differ by source: Limitless’s Japanese entry labels 079 “Secret Rare” while the database prints the SR icon, so the rarity codes follow the database.

The database prints the same card text on all three: a Basic Dragon Pokémon with HP 280, the attack ひるがえす for 40 with one Colorless Energy, which can swap the Pokémon with a Benched Pokémon if the player chooses, and the attack ミラージュインパルス for 300 with Fire, Psychic and Colorless Energy, which discards all Energy from the Pokémon (rendering). The special rule gives the opponent 3 Prize cards when a Mega Evolution ex is Knocked Out. There is no Weakness and no Resistance, and the retreat cost is 1. Limitless’s English entry reads “Mega Latias ex – Dragon – 280 HP”. Every Japanese print is covered in the Mega Latias ex every Japanese print guide and the Latias Japanese Pokemon cards guide.

Mega Latias ex RR 049/063

The RR is the regular print and pairs with Mega Evolution 100 by credit, 5ban Graphics.

Mega Latias ex SR 079/063

The SR pairs with Mega Evolution 163 and carries the same 5ban Graphics credit.

Mega Latias ex SAR 088/063 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order)

The SAR is credited to AKIRA EGAWA, unlike the 5ban Graphics credit on the RR and SR, and pairs with Mega Evolution 181.

Buying Checklist: English Box or Japanese Box

• Contents. The English page lists one foil promo, one oversize lenticular promo and four booster packs. The Japanese box is a sealed box of 5-card Mega Symphonia packs.
• The promo. Mega Latias ex MEP 11 has no Japanese print in Limitless TCG or the official database, and Bulbapedia calls its artwork alternate.
• Numbers. The Japanese prints are 049/063, 079/063 and 088/063, and Bulbapedia gives the English denominator as 132, so the pairs are made by illustrator credit and not by number.
• Condition. The Sealed option belongs to the M1S box product; the Damaged Box and the No Shrink Damaged Box are products of their own, and each product page describes the box condition.
• Dates. SNKRDUNK asks and store prices both carry the date October 2, 2026.
• Graded singles. The SR and SAR are offered as PSA 10 back orders; the RR has no PSA 10 listing on the store.
