One Japanese expansion, four Mega Diancie- or Mega Hawlucha-branded prints, and two of them sit at rarity tiers that look similar in a listing title but are not the same card. If you’re holding “Mega Diancie ex, 238/193” and trying to confirm exactly what it is, the card number and rarity marking on the print are what settle it — not the character name alone.
This guide covers the Special Art Rare Mega Diancie ex, card number 238/193, from the Japanese expansion MEGA Dream ex (M2a). It walks through the card’s own stats, how it differs from two similarly numbered prints in the same set, how it relates to the English-language version of the artwork, and where the set sits in the current Mega Evolution era. We list and ship this exact print as a PSA 10 graded copy out of Tokyo, so the pricing below reflects a card we actually stock.
Mega Diancie ex 238/193 is a SAR (Special Art Rare) from MEGA Dream ex (M2a), a 193-card Japanese set released November 28, 2025. It is a different card from the MA-rarity “MEGA Diancie ex” (227/193) in the same set. We currently list a PSA 10 graded copy at ¥7,384 (~$46).
Prices in this guide are converted at ¥159/USD (September 2026).
The Card: Mega Diancie ex 238/193 SAR
Mega Diancie ex is a Psychic-type card with 270 HP, printed at card number 238/193 in the Japanese expansion MEGA Dream ex (M2a). The Special Art Rare print carries illustration work by Narano.
The number itself — 238 against a base set size of 193 — is a useful tell on its own. SAR and other secret-tier cards in M2a are numbered above the main 193-card count, so any Mega Diancie ex print numbered in the 190s belongs to a different rarity tier entirely. We stock this exact print as a PSA 10 graded copy at ¥7,384 (~$46), which is currently listed and shippable from Tokyo.

SAR vs MA: Four Related Prints in One Set
MEGA Dream ex (M2a) contains four cards that get confused with each other because the names overlap and the numbers are close together. They are not interchangeable:
| 카드 | Number | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Diancie ex | 238/193 | SAR Special Art Rare |
| MEGA Diancie ex | 227/193 | MA (Art Rare) |
| MEGA Hawlucha ex | 229/193 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) | MA (Art Rare) |
| Mega Hawlucha ex | 094/193 | RR (main set) |
MA (Art Rare) is a lower rarity tier than SAR (Special Art Rare). The 238/193 print this guide covers is the SAR — a step above the 227/193 MA print of the same character, and a different card entirely from the MEGA Hawlucha ex prints at 229/193 (MA) and 094/193 (the regular main-set copy, RR).
If you’re comparing listings, match the full card number — not just the character name and “MEGA”/”Mega” prefix. 238/193, 227/193, 229/193 and 094/193 are four separate line items in this one set.
Our Mega Evolution Japanese card list covers how these rarity tiers are laid out across the wider era, if you’re tracking more than one Mega-Evolved ex print.
MEGA Dream ex (M2a): Set Size, Release Date and Era
MEGA Dream ex (M2a) released in Japan on November 28, 2025, with a main set size of 193 cards. Special Art Rare and other secret-tier cards, including this 238/193 Mega Diancie ex, are numbered above that base count rather than folded into it.
The set belongs to the 2025–26 Mega Evolution era of the Japanese TCG, built around the Mega-Evolved Pokemon ex mechanic tied to the video game franchise’s reintroduction of Mega Evolution. For context on where M2a fits against the other sets in that era, our Mega-era sets in order guide lays out the release sequence.
Why the English Phantasmal Flames Print Isn’t “The Same Card”
Mega Diancie ex also exists in English, in the set Phantasmal Flames at card number 41/130, rarity Double Rare. It’s the same character and the same Mega Evolution mechanic, but treat it as a related print rather than the same card as the Japanese SAR covered here.
Two things separate them structurally, not just cosmetically: Phantasmal Flames is a different regional set with its own 130-card base count, and its rarity-tier structure (Double Rare as a numbered tier) doesn’t map one-to-one onto the Japanese SAR/MA hierarchy used in MEGA Dream ex. A “238/193” Japanese SAR and a “41/130” English Double Rare are two separate prints of the same artwork subject, not the same card counted twice.
If you’re building out a collection across both languages, our budget Mega ex cards guide covers where the lower-cost entry points sit on both sides of that language split.
Where This SAR Sits Among Japanese Chase-Rarity Prints
Special Art Rare is one of the chase-tier rarities that recurs across recent Japanese sets, well beyond MEGA Dream ex. Seeing a few other SAR (and one adjacent RR) prints side by side is useful for getting a feel for the tier — these are different cards from different sets, shown here purely as rarity-tier reference, not as substitutes for the Diancie print.
The Skeledirge ex and Team Rocket’s Moltres ex prints above are both SAR-tier cards from earlier Scarlet & Violet-era sets, and the Marshadow & Machamp-GX print is an RR from the older Tag Team era — useful as a “then vs now” visual for how the chase-rarity slot has moved from Tag Team-GX to Mega-ex mechanics, but not a stand-in for any Diancie print.
