Ascended Heroes

Series: Mega Evolution

Release date: January 30, 2026

Cards: 217 (78 secret)

Set code: ME2.5

Mega Evolution's first special expansion takes Pokémon Legends: Z-A for its subject and stocks Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, Trainer's Pokémon and Tera Pokémon ex side by side. At 295 cards it is the biggest expansion the game has printed in English, ahead of Fusion Strike, though the whole margin is secret cards and Fusion Strike still holds more numbered ones. A new rarity comes with it, the Mega attack rare: seven full art Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, Mega Dragonite ex among them, drawn in flat pop art with the card's headline attack painted across the picture in oversized type. That attack name is swapped between regions, so an English card writes it in Japanese and a Japanese card writes it in English. The reverse holo is rebuilt as well, since common, uncommon and rare Pokémon arrive with either a Poké Ball pattern or the Energy symbol of their own type, and with no ordinary reverse at all. Each Pokémon keeps one ball through its whole line, first partners take Friend Balls, Mythical Pokémon plain ones, and Team Rocket's Pokémon a red R. Ascended Heroes (ME2.5) was released on January 30, 2026 in the Mega Evolution series, with 217 cards plus 78 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Mega Gengar ex #284 (Special illustration rare), at $685.95 (median of 14 sales over 7 days, October 26, 2026).
