"The sheer madness of Pokémon card prices not only continues on with the latest Mega Evolution set, but gets even more ludicrous. A year back, when putting together these galleries of the highest-priced cards in a set, the bottom end of the top 10 would generally be around $10, with a peak at around $100. For Mega Evolution, our number 10 card is currently selling for over $50, and your eyes will be watering by the end."
"Mega Evolution is certainly a great set. It has some of the best pull-rates we've seen in a long while, even if it also has two cards that are close to impossible to find. There's some absolutely wonderful art, with Illustration Rares as intricately detailed as previous sets' Special Illustration Rares, and a new Gardevoir that'll be loved for decades to come."
"From our own experience, it's just impossible to find anything released in 2025 anywhere. It certainly doesn't help that Mega Evolution has its own specific production issues, such that it's only releasing worldwide tomorrow, October 10, two weeks after the U.S. release. That means populations for cards are a lot lower, and these prices might come down a little. Or it could go entirely the other way,"
Mega Evolution card prices have escalated dramatically, with the number 10 card selling for over $50 and top cards reaching much higher values. The set offers strong pull-rates alongside two nearly unobtainable cards, highly detailed Illustration Rares, and a new Gardevoir expected to remain highly sought after. Mega Evolution abilities will significantly disrupt the live-game meta. Production and staggered release timing have produced severe scarcity, including delayed worldwide availability and restricted European resale activity, creating uncertain supply and demand dynamics that could either slightly lower or greatly inflate resale prices. A top-ten price list highlights the market shock.
