Mega Evolution – Ascended Heroes is shaping up to be one of the more exciting sets of 2026, and the pull list reflects it. Here's a look at the top 5 chase cards from the set.

1. Mega Gengar ex (284/217 — Special Illustration Rare) The most valuable card in the set right now. The artwork on this one is dark, detailed, and exactly what you want from a Gengar card. A clear top target for collectors and players alike.

2. Pikachu ex (276/217 — Special Illustration Rare) Pikachu SIRs have a strong track record of holding value, and this one is no exception. The illustration style sets it apart from the standard prints and makes it one of the more sought-after pulls in the set.

3. Mega Dragonite ex (290/217 — Special Illustration Rare) One of the best-looking cards in the entire set. Mega Dragonite doesn't get nearly enough love, and this card makes a strong case for why it should.

4. Mega Charizard Y ex (294/217 — Mega Hyper Rare) Charizard in Mega Hyper Rare form. There's not much more to say — this card was going to be a chase the moment it was announced.

5. Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex (281/217 — Special Illustration Rare) A nod to the classic Team Rocket era with modern illustration quality. One of the more unique cards in the set and a favorite among collectors chasing the full SIR lineup.
