Two Japanese cards share the name “Mega Charizard Y” and almost nothing else. One is an HP 360 deck-exclusive from a December 2025 release. The other is an HP 220 theme-deck card from 2014. They are eleven years apart, and mixing them up is a common mix-up in this corner of the hobby.
This guide is about the modern card: Mega Charizard Y ex, card number 085/742, from the Japanese set Start Deck 100 Battle Collection (set code MC). Our own listing is the Mirror foil parallel of this exact print. We cover its set position, its sibling print in the same set, how it relates to the much older XY-era card of a similar name, and where a Japanese-vs-English buyer should look for either.
Mega Charizard Y ex 085/742 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is a deck-exclusive print from Start Deck 100 Battle Collection (MC), released 19 December 2025 — this print is not listed on our site at the moment, with sourcing handled through Quick Order. The card ships inside Deck No. 001 of the Start Deck 100 Battle Collection product, currently listed, though each box is one random deck out of a field of 100+ possible numbers. This card is entirely separate from the vintage 2014–2016 “M Charizard EX” Y-version cards covered further down.

The Card: Mega Charizard Y ex 085/742 Mirror
Mega Charizard Y ex — メガリザードンYex in Japanese — is card number 085/742 in Start Deck 100 Battle Collection. It carries 360 HP and the Fire type, and the artwork is credited to illustrator aky CG Works.
As the card number implies, 085/742 is a deck-exclusive card, not a booster-pack pull — it comes packed into Deck No. 001 of the Start Deck 100 Battle Collection product, per Bulbapedia’s deck-list breakdown, rather than being chased through box openings. Each box of the product ships as one random deck out of a field of 100+ possible numbers, so pulling this specific deck is not guaranteed on any single purchase. The base print carries no traditional SAR/SR-style rarity code on marketplaces (Bulbapedia’s own set list shows “Promotion” for it), which is typical for cards sold this way. Our listing is the Mirror variant: the same 085/742 print in a foil-parallel finish, rather than a separate numbered rarity tier.
Print History: Every Modern Mega Charizard Y ex Print
Start Deck 100 Battle Collection ships as one random deck out of 102 possible decks: 100 standard numbered decks, one secret deck, and a rare gold variant of Deck No. 001 (source: Bulbapedia’s product breakdown). Mega Charizard Y ex appears twice in the set’s card list, under the same name, HP and illustrator credit, but the two numbers are not two equally-available prints — one replaces the other inside a single deck number.
| Card number | How it’s packaged | Release |
|---|---|---|
| 085/742 | Standard print inside Deck No. 001’s fixed decklist; our own listing is the Mirror foil parallel of this print | 19 Dec 2025 |
| 766/742 | Gold-etched print that replaces 085/742 only in the rare “gold version” of Deck No. 001 | 19 Dec 2025 |
766/742 is not a separately-pulled insert available from every copy — per Bulbapedia, Deck No. 001 has “a rare chance of being a gold version, indicated by the gold color on the number card and the inclusion of a gold-etched Mega Charizard Y ex card (numbered 766/742) instead of its Regular print.” Marketplace listings sometimes label it “MUR” (Mega Ultra Rare), but that specific code does not appear on Bulbapedia’s own set list, which shows “Promotion” for both 085/742 and 766/742 — treat “MUR” as marketplace shorthand, not an official rarity name.
The Set: Start Deck 100 Battle Collection (MC)
Start Deck 100 Battle Collection — スタートデッキ100 バトルコレクション in Japanese — is the Japanese release carrying set code MC. It released on 19 December 2025. The full Limitless card-database listing runs to 774 cards, while the main-set denominator printed on the cards themselves is 742 — the gap between the two is where insert-tier cards like 766/742 sit.
Because this is a “Start Deck” product, its headline cards are built into pre-constructed decks rather than distributed through random pack pulls — but the randomness moves to the box level instead: each purchase ships one deck chosen from the 100+ numbered decks (plus the secret deck and the rare gold variant of Deck No. 001), and 085/742 is specific to Deck No. 001’s decklist, which is why it carries no traditional rarity badge despite being the set’s namesake Charizard card.
The Vintage Card: M Charizard EX, Y-Version (2014–2016)
A completely different card also gets called “Mega Charizard Y” in casual conversation: the Y-focused version of M Charizard EX from 2014–2016. The Japanese card face for this older era simply reads リザードンEX / “M Charizard EX” — there is no separate “X” or “Y” printed on the card — but the Y-version is a distinct illustration and attack set tied to its own deck, and it is not a reprint of, or related print to, the 2025–26 Mega Charizard Y ex above. HP 220 versus HP 360, and eleven years apart in release.
XYA 002/021 — M Charizard-EX Mega Battle Deck (2014)
This is the original Y-version printing: card 002/021 from the Japan-exclusive 60-card theme deck メガバトルデッキ60「MリザードンEX」, released 15 March 2014 alongside the “Wild Blaze” expansion. HP 220, Fire type, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. This particular Mega Battle Deck is built around the Y-version of the card.
CP6 013/087 — 20th Anniversary Reprint (2016)
The same card was reprinted as 013/087 in the 2016 expansion pack 拡張パック「20th Anniversary」 (CP6), again HP 220, Fire type, 5ban Graphics, listed as a “Double Rare” print.
CP6 091/087 — Secret-Rare-Tier Reprint
CP6 also carries a secret-rare-tier reprint of the same card, numbered above the set’s 087-card main count. We are not citing an exact on-database rarity label for this card here — treat the number as confirmed and the specific rarity name as unverified.
For the X-version of the vintage cards and the modern Inferno-era X print, see our separate Mega Charizard X ex card guide — the X and Y lines are covered on separate pages deliberately, since it is easy to mix up the two.
Japanese vs English Print
Both eras of this card have English-set equivalents, and the two eras stay separate in English too.
| Era | Japanese print | English equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Modern (2025–26) | MC 085/742 & 766/742 | Ascended Heroes (ASC) #22 and #294 |
| Vintage (2014–2016) | XYA 002/021, CP6 013/087, CP6 091/087 | Flashfire (FLF) #13/107, Evolutions (EVO) #13/101 |
The modern English printing arrives through Ascended Heroes, which mirrors the Japanese MC set’s Charizard Y line at two card numbers. The vintage English releases — Flashfire and the later Evolutions reprint — correspond to the older 2014-era Japanese theme-deck card, not to the modern one. If you are trying to match a Japanese card to its English counterpart, confirm which era you are looking at first; the names alone won’t tell you.
Where This Print Sits on the Rarity Ladder
Within the modern MC set, the Mega Charizard Y ex line runs across three identifiable tiers, from most to least likely to turn up in a given box:
- 085/742 base print — deck-exclusive, no traditional rarity code; found in Deck No. 001’s standard decklist, one of 100+ possible deck numbers a Start Deck 100 Battle Collection box can ship as.
- 085/742 Mirror — the foil-parallel finish of the same print; our own listing sits at this tier.
- 766/742 (gold-etched) — replaces 085/742 only in the rare “gold version” of Deck No. 001, per Bulbapedia; marketplaces sometimes call it “MUR” tier, but that label is not on the official set list.
This is a numbering-and-packaging ladder, not a market-price ranking — we don’t cite third-party market figures for any of these prints.
Where to Buy Mega Charizard Y ex from Tokyo
085/742 is packed inside Deck No. 001 of the Start Deck 100 Battle Collection product — but each box ships as one random deck out of a field of 100+ possible numbers, so buying the product is not a guaranteed way to pull this specific card. The Start Deck 100 Battle Collection is currently listed at ¥1,200 (~$8); a sealed Start Deck 100 Battle Collection White Box is also currently listed at ¥50,000 (~$315) for buyers working through multiple decks at once. Our regular vs White Box comparison guide covers the difference between the two.

자주 묻는 질문
Is the Mega Charizard Y ex Mirror (MC 085/742) currently listed?
Our PSA10 MEGA Charizard Y ex :Mirror [MC 085/742] listing is not listed on our site at the moment. Sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
Is Mega Charizard Y ex the same card as the vintage M Charizard EX (Y-version)?
No. The modern Mega Charizard Y ex (085/742, 766/742, HP 360) is a 2025–26 release from Start Deck 100 Battle Collection. The vintage M Charizard EX Y-version (HP 220) is a separate 2014–2016 card family from the Mega Battle Deck and its CP6 reprints. They are not related prints.
Does buying Start Deck 100 Battle Collection guarantee this card?
No. Each box ships as one random deck out of 102 possible decks (100 numbered decks, one secret deck, and a rare gold variant of Deck No. 001). Mega Charizard Y ex 085/742 sits inside Deck No. 001’s decklist specifically, per Bulbapedia, so only a box that lands on that deck number contains it.
Is the 766/742 print confirmed to be an “MUR” rarity?
Not officially. Secondary marketplaces list it as “MUR” (Mega Ultra Rare), but Bulbapedia’s own set list shows “Promotion” for this card, not “MUR” — per Bulbapedia, 766/742 is a gold-etched card that replaces 085/742 only in the rare gold version of Deck No. 001, so treat “MUR” as marketplace shorthand rather than an official rarity name.
Does an English print of Mega Charizard Y ex exist?
Yes — the modern card corresponds to Ascended Heroes (ASC) #22 and #294 in English. The older vintage Y-version corresponds to Flashfire (FLF) #13/107 and its Evolutions (EVO) #13/101 reprint, which is a separate era from the modern card.
