The brand new Mega Evolution expansion is here, bringing back some of the most iconic Pokémon in bold new forms. Mega Evolution cards are making their return with massive HP, powerful attacks, and striking artwork that fans of both the video games and the TCG have been waiting for.
This set has something for everyone. Collectors get jaw-dropping designs, competitive players get new tools to test, and longtime fans get to see old favorites shine again. Below, we’ve rounded up five of the coolest cards from Mega Evolution that stand out not just for price, but for their art, nostalgia, and impact on the game.
SIR Mega Gardevoir ex 178/132
Mega Gardevoir ex is one of the clear headliners of the set. The artwork is stunning, the card design is elegant, and it has quickly become one of the most talked-about pulls. Gardevoir already has a huge fanbase, and this Mega form feels like the perfect showcase of why Mega Evolution is such a big deal.
SIR Mega Lucario ex 179/132
If Gardevoir is grace, Lucario is power. Mega Lucario ex has an aggressive design that fits perfectly with its reputation as a fighter. Collectors love the look, but this is also one to watch for competitive play. Lucario cards have always carried strong appeal, and this Mega form is no different.
SIR Lillie’s Determination 184/132
Not a Mega Pokémon, but still one of the most popular cards in the expansion. Full-art Trainer cards often become instant collector favorites, and Lillie’s Determination is already near the top of many want lists. The art is clean, the character is beloved, and it’s exactly the kind of card that players and collectors chase outside of the main set mascots. The card is also very powerful for the TCG, explaining it’s price tag.
SIR Mega Latias ex 181/132
Latias has always been a fan favorite, and the Mega version stands out for its unique design and different play style. It may not have the same headline value as Gardevoir or Lucario, but for collectors who love the Legendary Pokémon, this card is one of the best in the set.
Final Thoughts
Mega Evolution brings something fresh back into the Pokémon TCG, while still honoring what players loved about these transformations when they first appeared. Whether you’re chasing beautiful full-art designs, building new decks, or simply collecting your favorite Pokémon, this set is packed with cards worth keeping an eye on.
