Same Pokemon. Same Mega Rayquaza card lineage. Eleven years apart, and a 20x difference in price.
If you own a Mega Rayquaza card and want to know what it’s worth, the answer depends entirely on which printing you have — and there are now eight of them across four sets and two languages. A Roaring Skies copy might be an $84 card or a $406 card depending on a single digit in the corner. The 2026 Japanese release just added three more variants to the pile, one of which still tops the list — a PSA 10 graded MUR copy now asks ¥259,900 (about $1,768), with a raw Grade-A copy around ¥108,000 (about $735), as of September 1, 2026, after a sharp correction from its release-week high.
This guide prices every Mega Rayquaza card in one dated table, tells you how to identify which one you’re holding, and explains why the Japanese printings sit at a different price level than their English counterparts. We ship Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo every week, so the Japanese numbers here come from the market we trade in daily.
Eight Mega Rayquaza printings exist. The Japanese Storm Emeralda MUR leads at ~$1,768 (PSA10 ask), the English shiny 98/98 secret rare sits at ~$972, and the cheapest entry is the Celebrations reprint at ~$42–$57. Card number and set stamp — not artwork — are what separate an $84 card from a $406 one.

Prices are market values as of July 2026, converted at ¥163/USD, except Storm Emeralda (M6) MUR/SAR figures, which are SNKRDUNK asking prices as of September 1, 2026 at ~¥147/USD. English figures are TCGPlayer-based market prices; Japanese figures are Japanese secondary-market prices.
Every Mega Rayquaza Card and What It’s Worth
Eight printings, ranked by current market value (Storm Emeralda M6 MUR/SAR updated September 1, 2026; other Japanese prices August 12, 2026; English prices July 2026):
| # | Card | Set | Year | Market price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mega Rayquaza ex 113/076 MUR | Storm Emeralda (JPN) | 2026 | PSA10 ask ¥259,900 (~$1,768); Raw A ask ¥108,000 (~$735); lowest ask (any condition) ¥83,000 (~$564) — as of Sept 1, 2026 |
| 2 | M Rayquaza-EX 98/98 Shiny Full Art | Ancient Origins (ENG) | 2015 | ~$972 |
| 3 | Mega Rayquaza ex 110/076 SAR | Storm Emeralda (JPN) | 2026 | Raw A ask ¥48,000 (~$327); PSA10 ask ¥119,000 (~$810) — as of Sept 1, 2026 |
| 4 | M Rayquaza-EX 105/108 Full Art | Roaring Skies (ENG) | 2015 | ~$370–$406 |
| 5 | M Rayquaza EX 024/025 | 25th Anniversary Collection (JPN) | 2021 | ~¥26,500 (~$163) |
| 6 | M Rayquaza-EX 76/108 | Roaring Skies (ENG) | 2015 | ~$84 |
| 7 | Mega Rayquaza ex 095/076 SR | Storm Emeralda (JPN) | 2026 | ¥4,699–7,500 asks (~$29–46) |
| 8 | M Rayquaza-EX 76/108 | Celebrations Classic Collection (ENG) | 2021 | ~$42–$57 |
Two patterns jump out. First, the 2015 originals still outrank the 2021 reprints by a wide margin — Celebrations put the Roaring Skies artwork back in circulation at a fraction of the original’s price, and the market has kept them separate ever since. Second, the newest Japanese printings went straight to the top of the list on day one, and the correction has continued since: as of September 1, 2026, the MUR’s lowest ask (any condition) sits at ¥83,000, with Raw A copies asking ¥108,000 and PSA10 graded copies at ¥259,900 — down from the ¥300,000+ opening quotes. The SAR has settled further to a ¥48,000 Raw A ask, with PSA10 copies at ¥119,000. Even after that correction, the MUR’s remaining premium keeps it clear of every English printing.
The sections below break down each era so you can identify what you have.
The 2015 Originals: Roaring Skies
Roaring Skies (XY6) is where Mega Rayquaza started, and it produced two very different cards.
The 76/108 regular EX is the one most people own. Holofoil, standard card frame, “Emerald Break” attack, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. It sits around $84 in near mint — a strong number for a decade-old non-secret card, and a direct reflection of how hard Rayquaza demand has held up.
The 105/108 full art is the same card in a full-bleed textured frame, and it trades at roughly $370–$406 — four to five times the regular version. If your copy has artwork running edge to edge with no white border, that’s the one.
Look at the bottom-right corner. 76/108 and 105/108 look similar at a glance in a binder, and the difference between them is about $300.
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza Card: M Rayquaza EX 98/98
Ancient Origins (XY7) closed out 2015 with the card that still defines the whole lineup: the shiny black Mega Rayquaza, 98/98, secret rare. It carries a market price around $972, with recent sales spanning roughly $735 to $1,091.
What makes it different is that the shiny colouring is exclusive to this printing — the black-and-gold Rayquaza has never been reprinted in that form. Combine a one-off colour variant, a secret-rare slot at the very end of the set, and the most popular Legendary in the franchise, and you get a card that has appreciated more than 1,800% since release.
If you are hunting one, condition is the entire ballgame at this price level. The 2015 print run used a textured full-art surface that shows edge wear easily, so raw copies vary widely and graded examples command a substantial step up. Our Japanese Rayquaza PSA 10 buying guide covers the graded side of the market in detail.
The 2021 Reprints: Celebrations vs Japan’s 25th Anniversary Promo
2021 brought Mega Rayquaza back for Pokemon’s 25th anniversary — twice, in two languages, at two very different price points.
| Printing | Language | Format | Market price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Celebrations Classic Collection 76/108 | English | Set insert, widely printed | ~$42–$57 |
| 25th Anniversary Collection 024/025 | Japanese | Promo card pack | ~¥26,500 (~$163) |
The English Celebrations reprint is a faithful copy of Roaring Skies 76/108 with a “Classic Collection” stamp, and it is the most affordable way to own the artwork — around $42–$57 near mint. It was printed in volume, and the market prices it accordingly.
The Japanese 25th Anniversary Collection version is a different story. It came in a promo card pack rather than a standard set, circulated in far smaller numbers, and trades around ¥26,500 (~$163) — roughly three times the English reprint despite being the same era. This is the pattern that repeats across the entire Japanese market: limited-distribution Japanese promos separate from their English equivalents quickly and stay separated.
Mega Rayquaza ex Card (M6 MUR/SAR): The 2026 Return in Storm Emeralda
Mega Rayquaza headlined the Japanese MEGA era’s flagship set on July 31, 2026, and the singles market reacted immediately. See the Storm Emeralda booster box listing for current sealed stock.
The Mega Ultra Rare 113/076 is the gold-etched top card of the set, and it listed around ¥298,000 (~$1,830) on release day after opening near ¥348,000. Estimated pull rate is roughly one per 50–100 boxes. As of September 1, 2026, the MUR has corrected to a PSA10 ask of ¥259,900 (~$1,768), a Raw A ask of ¥108,000 (~$735), and a lowest ask (any condition) of ¥83,000 (~$564).
The Special Art Rare 110/076 listed at about ¥138,000 (~$850) on release day, when collectors were converging on it while the MUR cooled from its opening spike. Estimated at roughly one SAR per 2–3 boxes across all six SARs in the set. By September 1, 2026, the SAR’s Raw A ask has settled to ¥48,000 (~$327), with PSA10 graded copies asking ¥119,000 (~$810).
The Super Rare 095/076 rounds out the trio at ¥7,980 (~$49), and it’s the realistic entry point: full alternate artwork, two to three SRs per box, and a price that hasn’t left normal collecting territory.
For the full set breakdown, see our Storm Emeralda release-day price report.
Which Mega Rayquaza Fits Your Budget
Working from the table above, here’s how the lineup breaks down by spend:
- Under $60 — Celebrations 76/108 (~$42–$57) or the M6 Super Rare (~$49). The Celebrations copy gets you the classic 2015 artwork; the M6 SR gets you the current-era card in Japanese. Both are genuine, display-worthy cards.
- $80–$170 — Roaring Skies 76/108 (~$84) for the original print, or the Japanese 25th Anniversary promo (~$163) if you want the scarcer 2021 variant.
- $350–$450 — Roaring Skies 105/108 full art. The best-value “grail-feeling” card in the lineup, and the one most likely to be recognised by anyone who collected in 2015.
- $300–$450 — M6 SAR 110/076 (Raw A ask ~$327 / ¥48,000 as of September 1, 2026) sits alongside the Roaring Skies full art tier. Modern Japanese textured art at a price that has corrected sharply since release.
- $950+ — the shiny 98/98 (~$972) or M6 MUR Raw A (~$735 / ¥108,000 as of September 1, 2026). The 98/98 has an 11-year track record; the MUR is still finding its level.
- $1,750+ — M6 MUR 113/076 PSA10 graded copies (~$1,768 / ¥259,900 as of September 1, 2026) or SAR PSA10 (~$810 / ¥119,000). Top of the set, gold treatment, and the scarcest of the modern printings.
Release-week prices are set by a small number of transactions and move fast in both directions. If you’re buying at the top of this list, deciding your target price before you shop matters more than moving quickly.
