Mega Evolution

Pokémon Mega Evolution (MEG) card list: 188 cards, 132 plus 56 secret rares, UK release date, pull rates and the priciest Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex.

In the UK, as across Europe, the first Mega Evolution set came out on 10 October 2025, a fortnight after North America. On 27 August 2025 The Pokémon Company moved the launch for Europe, the Middle East and Africa back from 26 September, blaming delivery problems. Its code is MEG (ME01 in some databases), and it gave its name to the whole series, continued by Phantasmal Flames, Ascended Heroes, Perfect Order, Chaos Rising, Pitch Black and 30th Celebration. Set list by number (188 cards in the ColleX checklist): 001–132 — 67 Common, 43 Uncommon, 12 Rare, 10 Double Rare Mega ex 133–154 — 22 Illustration Rare 155–176 — 22 Ultra Rare: ten Mega ex and twelve Trainers such as Rare Candy and Air Balloon 177–186 — 10 Special Illustration Rare 187–188 — the gold Mega Hyper Rare pair, Mega Gardevoir ex and Mega Lucario ex A Mega Evolution Pokémon ex gives up three Prize cards when Knocked Out, but it skips the extra Evolution step: Mega Lucario ex evolves from Riolu, not from Lucario. The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates. TCGplayer's community count, reported by Deltias Gaming on 1 October 2025 and by Card Codex, comes out at roughly one Double Rare in 5 packs, Illustration Rare in 9, Ultra Rare in 12, Special Illustration Rare in 101 and Mega Hyper Rare in 1,260. Each pack holds 10 cards, and a booster box holds 36 packs. Chase cards by Cardmarket price trend on 17 October 2026: Mega Gardevoir ex 187 at €194, Mega Lucario ex 188 at €171, Mega Gardevoir ex 178 at €138, Mega Venusaur ex 177 at €128 and Mega Lucario ex 179 at €106. TCGplayer has the same five on top but ranks Mega Lucario ex 188 first. A complete set comes to about €1,270, yet 130 of the 188 cards trend under €1.
