The brand-new Mega Evolution expansion has landed with huge excitement, and collectors are already chasing some of the most expensive cards the Pokémon TCG has seen in recent years. While the set officially dropped in Japan and the US on September 26th, Europe, Middle East, and Africa must wait until October 10th for their release due to delays.
That hasn’t stopped prices from climbing quickly. In fact, the Mega Evolutions top cards are already commanding hundreds of pounds on the secondary market, and with the set not yet widely available, we expect heavy fluctuations over the next few weeks.
Here’s our Top 10 countdown of the most expensive Mega Evolutions cards as of 29th September 2025.
#10 – Acerola’s Mischief – 183/132
Market Price: ~£48.30
A fun and spooky card, Acerola’s Mischief is one of the few trainer cards cracking the Top 10. Its vibrant artwork, paired with Acerola’s popularity, ensures it won’t go unnoticed. While not the most valuable of the Mega Evolutions top cards, it has plenty of collector appeal.
#9 – Mega Absol ex – 180/132
Market Price: ~£75.55
Mega Absol ex returns with a brooding design that fans of dark-type Pokémon will love. Its competitive playability isn’t front-page news yet, but its unique artwork gives it strong chase-card status in this new Mega Evolution era.
#8 – Mega Kangaskhan ex – 182/132
Market Price: ~£77.45

Market Price: ~£130.95

#6 – Mega Venusaur ex – 177/132
Market Price: ~£158.90
One of the original Kanto starters, Mega Venusaur ex delivers nostalgia with a punch. The abstract, colourful background art elevates the card, and with Venusaur’s historic popularity, this card looks set to hold steady value.
