Mega Scrafty ex Card Guide: SAR 241/193 vs MA 231/193 (MEGA Dream ex)

Mega Scrafty ex Card Guide: SAR 241/193 vs MA 231/193 (MEGA Dream ex)

MEGA Dream ex gave Mega Scrafty ex three separate Japanese prints, and two of them use rarity codes most collectors outside Japan have never had to tell apart — SAR and MA. They are not the same tier, they are not interchangeable, and mixing them up is the easiest way to overpay or underpay for the wrong card.

This guide covers the Japanese high-class pack MEGA Dream ex (M2a), released 28 November 2025, and the two Mega Scrafty ex slabs we handle out of Tokyo: the 241/193 Special Art Rare (SAR), currently listed, and the 231/193 MA print, which is presently unlisted. We break down the illustrators, the set position of each print, and where this card sits against its own set’s rarity ladder — no third-party pricing, just what we know from the set data and our own catalogue. If you’re comparing chase prints across M2a, our Mega Diancie ex SAR guide covers a different Pokemon from the same set.

Key Takeaways

Mega Scrafty ex has three confirmed M2a prints — a Double Rare at 110/193, an MA (Mega Attack Rare) at 231/193, and a Special Art Rare at 241/193. Our PSA 10 Mega Scrafty ex 241/193 SAR is currently listed at ¥7,634 (~$48). If you collect across the set, our PSA 10 Mega Eelektross ex 235/193 SAR, from the same M2a set, is also currently listed.

The Card: Mega Scrafty ex 241/193 SAR

Mega Scrafty ex 241/193, Special Art Rare, MEGA Dream ex (M2a)
Mega Scrafty ex 241/193, Special Art Rare, MEGA Dream ex (M2a)

In Japanese, the card is printed as メガズルズキンex — Mega Scrafty ex in English. It is a Stage 1 Pokemon, evolving from Scraggy (Japanese: ズルッグ), and carries 330 HP with a Darkness typing across all three of its M2a prints.

The 241/193 print is a Special Art Rare (SAR), illustrated by nagimiso — see our nagimiso illustrator guide for more of their work across Japanese sets. SAR is the full-illustration chase tier that modern Japanese Pokemon sets build around — artwork that extends across the whole card face rather than sitting inside a standard frame. This print is the one currently listed on our site as a PSA 10.

Its number, 241, sits well above the set’s main run of 193 — a strong signal on its own that this is a secret-slot print rather than part of the base numbered set. More on what that means for rarity below.

The Set: MEGA Dream ex (M2a)

MEGA Dream ex — ハイクラスパック「MEGAドリームex」in Japanese — is a high-class pack with the set code M2a, released in Japan on 28 November 2025. The set totals 250 cards, with the main numbered run going up to 193; the remaining slots, including both of our Mega Scrafty ex chase prints, sit above that main count in secret-rare territory.

M2a belongs to the Japanese “Mega” (M-series) block, the run of releases built around the Mega Evolution mechanic. It is this block that introduced the MA rarity tier discussed above — a naming convention that does not appear in earlier Scarlet & Violet-era Japanese sets.

Other confirmed M2a chase prints in our own catalogue from the same set include Mega Eelektross ex 235/193 SAR, Canari SAR 248/193, and Surfer SAR 249/193 — all numbered above the 193-card main run, the same pattern as Mega Scrafty ex’s own chase prints. For the complete 250-card breakdown, see our MEGA Dream ex (M2a) full card list.

Japanese vs English Print

The English-set equivalent of this card lineup is Ascended Heroes (ASC), where Mega Scrafty ex appears across three numbers: 135, 270, and 285. That is the same three-print structure as the Japanese release — a base-set print plus two higher-numbered chase prints — but the actual card numbers do not line up between the two languages, so a “231/193” or “241/193” search will not return anything on the English side.

We do not have confirmed rarity-name mapping between the Japanese MA/SAR codes and the specific Ascended Heroes numbers, so we are not going to guess which English number corresponds to which Japanese rarity here. If you are cross-referencing a checklist, treat the Japanese and English versions as separate numbering systems entirely rather than assuming a one-to-one match.

Where This Print Sits on the Rarity Ladder

Within Mega Scrafty ex’s own three prints, the numbering tells you where each one sits relative to the set’s main run:

  • 110/193 — Double Rare. Inside the main numbered set, standard frame.
  • 231/193 — MA (Mega Attack Rare). Above the main run, in the secret-rare block, using the M-series’ own MA naming.
  • 241/193 — Special Art Rare (SAR). Also above the main run, full-illustration treatment.

We are not going to rank MA against SAR in terms of relative scarcity — the available set data doesn’t include pull-rate figures for either, and we don’t publish estimates we can’t source. What we can say is that they are two distinct chase tiers introduced specifically for the M-series, and both sit clearly above the Double Rare base print in presentation and print position.
