Mega Evolution Gold Cards: Every Chase Card (UR/MUR) & What It’s Worth

Every MEGA-Era Chase Card, Priced

Every set in the MEGA Evolution era, its headline chase card, and what that card costs today:

Japanese market prices as of July 31, 2026, converted at ¥163/USD. Buyback prices run lower — typically 65–90% of market on these cards.

The shape of that chart is the whole story: a flat band of five sets, one step up at Greninja, then two cards in a different league entirely.

Mega Evolutions Gold Cards (UR / MUR) by Set

Every chase card above is a gold-etched Ultra Rare or Mega Ultra Rare. Here’s the same list mapped to our own PSA10-graded stock, so you can see what a slabbed copy of each one is currently listed at:

Our PSA10 prices reflect our own Tokyo catalog as of September 15, 2026, converted at ¥154/USD. These are graded-slab prices, so they sit above the raw-market figures in the table above — a PSA10 population report for a chase card this scarce is small, which pushes a graded copy’s asking price higher than a raw one.

For a live cross-check on raw singles: Mega Charizard X ex MUR’s lowest asking price on SNKRDUNK as of September 15, 2026 (any condition) was ¥75,000 across 99+ listings, and Mega Lucario ex MUR’s was ¥30,000 across 99+ listings — both well under the settled market figures above, since an asking price is a seller’s floor, not a completed sale.

The era’s set list so far runs M1L, M1S, M2, M2A, M3, M4, M5, and M6. A ninth code, M6a — the 30th CELEBRATION crossover — is scheduled for September 16, 2026 and isn’t in this table yet.

Why Most MUR Cards Land in the Same Band

Four different chase cards from four different sets all sit at exactly ¥57,800. That is not a coincidence, and it tells you something useful about how this market prices scarcity.

Mega Lucario ex 092/063 MUR

¥57,800 — M1L Mega Brave

Mega Darkrai ex 118/081 MUR

¥57,800 — M5 Abyss Eye

Every MUR in this era occupies the same structural slot: one card, at the very end of the set, at an estimated one per 50–100 boxes. The supply side is effectively identical from set to set. So when demand is merely strong rather than exceptional, the price converges on what the market pays for “a gold Mega ex of a well-liked Pokemon” — and right now that number is around ¥57,800.

Lucario, Gardevoir, and Darkrai are all genuinely popular Pokemon with dedicated followings. They just aren’t Charizard or Rayquaza. The band is what popularity without franchise-defining status is worth.

The two ends of the range are worth naming too. Mega Greninja ex (M4) at ¥94,800 sits above the band on the strength of Greninja’s international popularity, which is unusually high relative to its Japanese standing. Mega Zygarde ex (M3) at ¥34,800 sits below it — Zygarde is a legendary, but not one with a large collector base.

What Actually Drives a MEGA Chase Card’s Price

Working from the eight data points above, four factors explain most of the variation:

• Character popularity (dominant). Charizard and Rayquaza command 4–5x the band. Nothing else in the data moves prices this much.
• International demand. Greninja’s premium over the band comes largely from outside Japan — a reminder that Japanese prices already reflect global buying, not just domestic.
• Time since release. Every set peaks around launch and settles over the following weeks as supply works through. M6 at about six weeks old is not comparable to M2 at about a year; the settled numbers are the ones to trust.
• Product type. High Class Packs (M2A) have a different rarity structure than standard expansions, which is why cross-comparing them needs care.

What barely matters: the card’s competitive strength. None of these prices track tournament play in any consistent way — the MUR treatment is a collector product first.

Buying MEGA-Era Cards from Japan

Every set in this table is a Japanese release. Their English counterparts arrive months later — Storm Emeralda’s English version, Delta Reign, isn’t out until November 6, 2026 — and Japanese printings have historically traded at a 15–40% premium over English versions on textured foil quality and smaller print runs.
