Mega Gengar ex MA STANDARD PSA 10

Q: What is the current PSA 10 price for Mega Gengar ex MA m2a 230?

Mega Gengar ex MA MEGA Dream ex m2a 230/193 PSA 10 trades $157 USD on Poke10's Japan live index (accessed 2026-05-08). 30-day PSA 10 volume is 0 — first slabs are still working through PSA Japan grading backlog since the set released 28 November 2025.

Q: What does "MA" rarity mean in MEGA Dream ex?

MA = Mega Attack Rare, a brand-new rarity tier introduced exclusively in MEGA Dream ex (m2a) in November 2025. MA cards are full-art Pop Art renders of Mega Evolution Pokemon ex with the card's signature attack written as oversized English text across the foreground — an aesthetic callback to XY-era Mega Pokemon-EX. There are 10 MA cards in the m2a set, with 1 MA guaranteed per booster box (Bulbapedia + Samurai Sword Tokyo, accessed 2026-05-09).

Q: Is MA the same as Master Ball Mirror foil?

No. MA stands for "Mega Attack Rare" — a new rarity introduced in m2a (MEGA Dream ex). Master Ball Mirror is a separate parallel finish associated with sv-era Japanese sets. The two are distinct treatments and should not be confused (per Bulbapedia rarity index, accessed 2026-05-09).

Q: Who illustrated Mega Gengar ex MA m2a 230?

Taiga Kasai illustrated the Mega Attack Rare print (card 230/193) per Bulbapedia and TCG Collector accessed 2026-05-09. The same Mega Gengar ex character has multiple variants in m2a illustrated by different artists, including 5ban Graphics (RR) and danciao (SAR 240).

Q: What is the pull rate for Mega Gengar ex MA?

Each MEGA Dream ex booster box guarantees 1 MA card across a 10-card MA pool, giving Mega Gengar ex MA approximately 1-in-10 boxes pull rate (Samurai Sword Tokyo pull rate analysis from 1,000+ box openings, accessed 2026-05-09). This is generous compared to SAR tier (~1-in-27 packs) but tighter than RR/AR tiers.

Q: What are Mega Gengar ex's stats and attack?

HP 350, Darkness type. Ability "Shadow Concealment": when your Darkness Pokemon are knocked out by an attack from your opponent's Pokemon ex, your opponent takes one fewer Prize card. Attack "Void Gale" (2 Darkness Energy): deals damage and moves 1 Energy from this Pokemon to 1 of your Benched Pokemon. Fighting weakness x2, retreat 2 Colorless (Bulbapedia + Serebii, accessed 2026-05-09).

Q: Mega Gengar ex MA vs SAR — which is more valuable?

The SAR (240/193) is more valuable. Mega Gengar ex SAR raw trades approximately ¥48,000-55,000 (~$315-360 USD) per Buyee 2026 price guide accessed 2026-05-09 and is considered the m2a set grail. The MA (230/193) sits at the next tier down — PSA 10 trades $157 on Poke10 (accessed 2026-05-08). SAR pull rate (~1-in-27 packs) is significantly tighter than MA (~1-in-10 boxes).

Card Background & Set Context

MEGA Dream ex (set code m2a) released 28 November 2025 in Japan as a High Class Pack of 250 cards (193 main + 57 secret rares), per Bulbapedia accessed 2026-05-09. The set is part of Pokemon TCG's MEGA Evolution sub-era tied to Pokemon Legends Z-A, marking the first systematic return of Mega Evolution mechanics to the TCG since the XY-era 2014-2016 run. m2a introduces an entirely new rarity tier — the Mega Attack Rare (MA) — covering 10 Mega Evolution Pokemon ex (Charizard X, Gengar, Dragonite, Lucario, Gardevoir, Froslass, Diancie, Eelektross, Hawlucha, Scrafty) per Samurai Sword Tokyo pull rate analysis accessed 2026-05-09. MA cards feature full-art Pop Art rendering of the Mega Pokemon with the card's signature attack written as oversized English text across the foreground — a deliberate aesthetic callback to XY-era Mega Pokemon-EX text-foreground designs. Card 230/193 is Mega Gengar ex MA, illustrated by Taiga Kasai (per Bulbapedia + TCG Collector accessed 2026-05-09); HP 350, Darkness type, ability "Shadow Concealment" (when your Darkness Pokemon are KO'd by an opponent's Pokemon ex attack, opponent takes one fewer Prize), attack "Void Gale" (2 Darkness Energy, deals damage and moves 1 Energy to a Benched Pokemon), Fighting weakness x2, retreat 2. Each m2a booster box contains 10 packs × 10 cards with 1 MA guaranteed per box across the 10-card MA pool, giving Mega Gengar ex MA approximately 1-in-10 boxes pull rate. Subsequent localizations: Traditional Chinese (5 Dec 2025), Thai (16 Jan 2026), Korean (23 Jan 2026), Indonesian (30 Jan 2026), per Bulbapedia. No English counterpart confirmed at time of writing — the closest international equivalent is the Ascended Heroes set which features overlapping Mega Evolution cards but with different MA-tier pull mechanics and pricing.

Investment Analysis

Price stack thin — only PSA 10 $157 confirmed via Poke10 live Japan index (accessed 2026-05-08); raw, PSA 9, and population data are not yet established because the set is < 6 months old (released 28 Nov 2025, Bulbapedia accessed 2026-05-09) and PSA Japan grading backlog still working through first submissions. PSA 10 30-day volume = 0 confirms early-stage liquidity. Reference comp: Mega Gengar ex SAR 240/193 raw trades ¥48,000-55,000 (~$315-360 USD per Buyee 2026 price guide accessed 2026-05-09) — the SAR is set grail; the MA full-art Pop-Art parallel sits at the next tier down. The MA rarity is brand new (introduced m2a Nov 2025) — Bulbapedia describes it as full-art Mega Evolution Pokemon ex rendered in bold Pop Art with the signature attack rendered as large English foreground text, an aesthetic callback to XY-era Mega Pokemon-EX. Box pull math: each MEGA Dream ex box guarantees 1 MA, 10 distinct MA cards in pool → ~1-in-10 boxes per specific MA. With box MSRP ¥5,500 (~$36) and 10-MA pool, expected MA cost ≈ $36/MA opening solo; secondary market reflects this. Mega Gengar ex specifically commands premium within the MA pool — Mega Gengar SAR is the set's #1 most-valuable card, so Gengar MA inherits character demand. Catalyst stack: (a) Pokemon Legends Z-A 2026 video game release reinforces Mega Evolution narrative, (b) MA being a never-before-seen rarity tier creates first-mover collector premium, (c) Gengar's permanent top-3 character demand in Pokemon TCG. Risk: MA pull rate generosity (1-in-10 boxes vs SAR ~1-in-27 packs) means population will scale faster than SAR; PSA 10 ceiling tied to Mega Gengar SAR/SIR pricing rather than rivalling it.

Risks to Watch

Mega Gengar ex MA carries young-set risks. First, population growth — MA is guaranteed 1-per-box across 10 distinct MA cards, meaning Mega Gengar ex MA pulls at ~1-in-10 boxes; as Japanese hobby distribution catches up to demand and PSA Japan clears 2025-Q4 grading backlog, PSA 10 population will scale faster than scarcer SAR/SIR tiers. Second, MA tier itself is brand-new (Nov 2025 introduction) — collector consensus on whether MA holds long-term premium vs being a transient gimmick is not yet established. Third, JPY/USD reversion — at JPY 152 USD value reflects current rate; reversion to JPY 130 trims USD pricing ~15%. Fourth, Pokemon Legends Z-A reception risk — if the Mega Evolution video-game revival underperforms, downstream MA collectibility softens. Fifth, set-specific reprint or extension risk — Pokemon Company has shown willingness to reissue Mega Evolution cards across sister sets (Mega Brave / Mega Symphonia parallel English releases / Ascended Heroes overlap), expanding effective supply. PSA pop not yet published — Poke10 will track once first slabs grade and pop reports stabilize. Upside: Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026 + Pokemon Legends Z-A release-window collector spike + Gengar's permanent top-3 character status.

Card Background & Set Context

Investment Analysis

Japanese vs English & Variants

Mega Gengar ex appears in multiple m2a slots: 230/193 MA (this card, full-art Pop Art parallel by Taiga Kasai, ~1-in-10 boxes), 240/193 SAR Special Art Rare (set grail at ¥48,000-55,000 raw / ~$315-360 USD per Buyee 2026 accessed 2026-05-09, ~1-in-40 boxes), plus standard Double Rare (RR) print at base rarity. The MA full-art is the visual chase outside the SAR — Pop Art aesthetic + signature-attack-as-foreground text differentiates it from any other m2a card. International counterpart situation: the English Ascended Heroes set covers overlapping Mega Evolution roster but MA pull rates and rarity treatment differ from JP m2a; English equivalent pricing not yet established at time of writing. No Pokemon Center stamped variant confirmed. The MEGA Starter Set MEGA Mega Gengar ex (separate product, code MBG, released 5 Sep 2025 prior to m2a) contains a different SAR-tier Mega Gengar ex — distinct print from m2a 230 MA. Korean / Traditional Chinese m2a counterparts will share card 230 numbering with localized text — PSA pricing for those prints not yet established.

Authentication & Cert Verification

MA (Mega Attack Rare) is a brand-new rarity tier introduced m2a Nov 2025; counterfeit market has not yet matured for this print, but standard Japanese SR/SAR-class authentication checks apply: (1) holographic foil pattern — MA cards use full-art Pop Art rendering with the card's signature attack text rendered in oversized English foreground; verify the holo gradient runs cleanly across the entire art (no banding, no haze). (2) Card stock thickness 0.30-0.32mm consistent with Japanese High Class Pack production. (3) Illustrator credit "Taiga Kasai" should appear bottom-left in Japanese 4pt font; verify spelling. (4) Card number 230/193 + set symbol m2a should be crisp-printed with no ink bleed. (5) Back-of-card prismatic Pokeball pattern matches Japanese sv-era / m-era production stock. (6) HP 350, type Darkness, ability "Shadow Concealment", attack "Void Gale" — text should match Bulbapedia + Serebii reference exactly (accessed 2026-05-09). (7) PSA cert lookup online — always verify any slabbed copy via PSA's online cert lookup before purchase. Because the set is < 6 months old, PSA population is still scaling and any unusually low cert number deserves extra scrutiny.
