01 · What is this set

Ten packs, ten cards, and a pool built around secret rares

Mega Dream ex is a Japanese High Class Pack, released in Japan on 28 November 2025. Unlike a standard booster box, every pack carries ten cards, and 57 of the set's 250 cards sit beyond the numbered list as secret rares: 20 AR, 9 SR, 10 MA, 17 SAR and a single MUR.

The same cards reached the English edition later, under different set names. What you buy here is the Japanese print, on Japanese card stock, in the ten-pack box shown above.

A Japanese Mega Dream ex box contains 10 packs of 10 randomly assorted cards. Before buying an MA single, check Pokémon’s notice about a finish error in some production runs. A price or a hit promise cannot replace identifying the exact version.

02 · The story

The set where MA was born

Mega Dream ex is where the Japanese TCG introduced a brand-new rarity: MA, the Mega Attack Rare. Ten cards carry it, numbers 223 to 232, each a Mega Evolution ex — Mega Charizard X, Mega Froslass, Mega Eelektross, Mega Gardevoir, Mega Diancie, Mega Lucario, Mega Hawlucha, Mega Gengar, Mega Scrafty and Mega Dragonite.

Above them sits one card of its own rarity: Mega Dragonite ex № 250, the set's only Mega Ultra Rare. The official product page leads with Mega Dragonite ex, Mega Eelektross ex and Mega Froslass ex, and headlines MA as the set's new arrival.

Mega Dream ex: box contents, MA finish and value checks

Sources checked: 6 October 2026

What do the official sources confirm?

The format: M2a launched in Japan on 28 November 2025. Pokémon Center specifies 10 packs per box and 10 cards per pack. The set page introduces MA rarity and mirror finishes with Energy symbols and various Poké Ball patterns. A Pokémon name and card number therefore may not fully identify the finish being compared.

Quality notice dated 5 December 2025: Pokémon reported an incorrect surface finish on some production runs of the set’s MA cards, including Mega Charizard X ex, Mega Gengar ex and Mega Dragonite ex. The notice says correctly finished copies also exist and directs affected owners to a single-card replacement form. It does not say every MA is defective or authenticate any individual copy.

How should you use this before buying?

For a single: request photos of the actual copy, its number, language, finish and condition. If the surface raises a question, compare the official notice and seek clarification; do not assume every difference means counterfeit or every defect adds value. A manufacturer’s defect notice is not a completed sale and establishes no price premium.

For a box: distinguish Japanese M2a from an English collection. For example, Pokémon lists nine packs, a promo and accessories in the standard Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Box. That is a different product unit from an M2a box. Compare contents and packaging condition before prices; the words High Class do not establish a particular SAR or a profit guarantee. For transaction comparisons, see our card value and language guide.

09 · Questions

Before you open one

Is this the Japanese or the English set?
Japanese. Mega Dream ex (M2a) is the Japanese High Class Pack released on 28 November 2025. The English edition printed these cards later in other sets, such as Ascended Heroes.
What is a High Class Pack?
A Japanese product format with ten cards per pack instead of the usual five. Mega Dream ex has 10 packs per box — 100 cards in total.
What is MA rarity?
MA stands for Mega Attack Rare, a rarity introduced in Mega Dream ex. The set has ten MA cards, numbers 223 to 232, each a Mega Evolution ex.
How many cards are in a box?
10 packs × 10 cards = 100 cards. The set list itself has 250 cards (193 numbered + 57 secret rares); a box does not contain the full set.
What does “sealed, never resealed” mean?
The box arrives in the original Japanese factory shrink film, as it left the manufacturer. We do not open or re-wrap boxes.
Is there a version without shrink film?
The boxes of this set we sell arrive in the original Japanese factory shrink film, as described on the product page.
Do you ship to Europe?
Yes. We ship to the UK and many European countries with FedEx International Priority, always tracked. Shipping is calculated at checkout from the destination and the weight of your cart.
Who pays import duties?
The buyer. Prices do not include import duties or taxes; your carrier may bill them before or after delivery. Check your country's rules before ordering.
Does a Mega Dream ex box guarantee a specific Charizard, Gengar or other rare card?
No specific card is guaranteed. The card gallery shows cards from the M2a set, not the contents promised in one box. The Mega Dream ex booster box contains 10 sealed packs of 10 Japanese cards with random pack contents. Choose this product for opening sealed packs, not as a way to order a particular single card.
Where can I check the current Mega Dream ex price and shipping total?
Open the Mega Dream ex M2a product page for the current price, availability and packaging description. Add the quantity you want to your cart to check shipping for your destination. Shipping estimates can precede eligible discounts; review the final shipping charge and applicable taxes at checkout before paying.
Can I buy single packs instead of a full box?
Yes, while stock lasts: this set is also sold as a single pack (1 pack × 10 cards) and as a 3-pack (3 packs × 10 cards). Each single pack is the same randomly assorted pack you find inside the box.
Do you sell this set wholesale to shops?
Yes. Shops and resellers can apply on our wholesale page. After approval you get the wholesale price list and order terms.
