Ascended Heroes Set Guide: Full Card List, Chase Cards, Pull Rates, and Sealed Prices

Ascended Heroes is one of the largest sets of the Mega Evolution block, and it pairs its Mega ex cards with a deep run of character-owned Pokemon: Team Rocket's Mewtwo, N's Zoroark, Lillie's Clefairy, Steven's Metagross. The top of the board belongs to a Mega Gengar ex and a pair of Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rares, but the trainer cards are what give the set its personality. It's a big list, so knowing where the value clusters matters.

Ascended Heroes runs 295 cards, and the full Ascended Heroes card list with live prices is on the set page. That's the page to bookmark, because with a set this size the chase cards are spread across a long secret-rare stretch.

From here the guide covers the numbering, the cards holding the value, the pull odds, and where the sealed product stands.

Ascended Heroes at a Glance

• Release date: January 30, 2026, part of the Mega Evolution (ME) block
• 217 cards in the main numbering, 295 total
• 78 cards above the set number, 218/217 through 295/217
• Mega ex cards alongside a heavy slate of character-owned Pokemon ex
• Special Illustration Rares and Mega Hyper Rares sharing the top of the ladder
• The headline chase: Mega Gengar ex #284, the Special Illustration Rare

This is a character set as much as a Mega set. The Mega Pokemon bring the block's mechanic, but the roster of trainer-signature ex cards, Team Rocket's Mewtwo and N's Zoroark among them, is what fills out the top of the list. For the card list, the thing to watch is the Special Illustration Rare stretch, which is where nearly every chase card lives.

The Ascended Heroes Card List: How It's Structured

Two blocks, and a large one at that.

The main set, 001 to 217. Commons through the ex double rares, a broad base set with the Mega Pokemon and the character-owned Pokemon leading the holo rares. It takes real volume to complete because of the sheer size.

The secret rares, 218 to 295. The Illustration Rares, the Special Illustration Rares of both Mega Pokemon and trainer-owned Pokemon, the full-art ex cards, and the Mega Hyper Rares at the top. The Mega Gengar ex and both Pikachu ex arts sit up here.

Every card across both blocks, priced, is on the full interactive list.

Ascended Heroes Chase Cards: What's Worth Money

Mega Gengar ex, #284 leads the set. Gengar is one of the most collected Pokemon there is, and its Mega form in the Special Illustration Rare frame is exactly the kind of card that carries a Mega-block set. It trades neck and neck with the top Pikachu.

Pikachu ex, #276 is right there with it, and Pikachu shows up twice in the Special Illustration Rare slot, at 276 and 277, which tells you how much of the set's pull runs through the mascot.

Below the Gengar and Pikachu cards, the character-owned Pokemon take over. Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex, #281, Lillie's Clefairy ex, #280, and N's Zoroark ex, #286 are the trainer-signature arts collectors reach for, each tying a beloved Pokemon to a beloved character.

The Ascended Heroes Mega ex and Character Cards

Ascended Heroes doesn't have a Trainer Gallery, so its collecting hook is the Special Illustration Rare slot, split between two families.

The first is the Mega Pokemon. Mega Gengar leads, with Mega Dragonite, Mega Charizard Y, and the rest of the Mega line carrying the block's mechanic into the set's biggest cards. The marquee Megas also appear as Mega Hyper Rares, the textured top-tier finish, so several of them exist in two chase versions.

The second is the character-owned Pokemon. This is where Ascended Heroes stands apart from the block's other sets. Team Rocket's Mewtwo, N's Zoroark, Lillie's Clefairy, and Steven's Metagross each pair a fan-favorite Pokemon with a fan-favorite trainer, and those cards drive a lot of the demand through the middle of the board.

Ascended Heroes Pull Rates (Estimated)

No official odds exist for this set, so the figures below are community-sampled and approximate.

• Double Rare (ex): about 1 in 5 packs
• Ultra Rare (full-art ex or Supporter): about 1 in 12 packs
• Special Illustration Rare: about 1 in 30 packs
• Mega Hyper Rare: about 1 in 60 packs

Because Ascended Heroes is a large set, the Special Illustration Rare slot is shared across a long list of cards, so pulling a specific one, the Mega Gengar or either Pikachu, takes even more packs than the flat odds imply. The Mega Hyper Rare tier is scarcer still, which is what keeps the top of the board where it is.

Ascended Heroes Sealed: ETB and Booster Prices

Ascended Heroes released through Elite Trainer Boxes, booster bundles, and collection boxes rather than a standard booster box, so the ETB is the anchor sealed unit, with the Pokemon Center version sitting above it. How the Mega block's newer sealed product is trading is something we cover on the market movers board, and we walked through the block's bundles in Black Bolt and Ascended Heroes Lead the Bundles.

As a recent set, Ascended Heroes still has a lot of sealed supply in circulation, so the ETB and booster bundle prices are working out the balance between the product that's been opened for its chase cards and the boxes collectors are setting aside.

Why Ascended Heroes Endures

The value table is only part of what gives this set legs.

Ascended Heroes leaned into the two things collectors respond to most: Mega forms of iconic Pokemon and cards that tie those Pokemon to the trainers who use them. A Mega Gengar, a Team Rocket's Mewtwo, an N's Zoroark, these are cards that mean something before you even check a price, and that's the kind of set that keeps getting opened and re-listed long after release.

The Mega Gengar is the object at the front of it. A perennial fan favorite in its Mega form and the era's special-illustration frame, on one of the block's biggest sets.

Ascended Heroes sits in the Mega Evolution block alongside Mega Evolution and Perfect Order. A Mega set with a character-driven twist, a Gengar and a pair of Pikachu at the top, and a roster that reads like a list of collector favorites.
