Pokémon TCG Phantasmal Flames: Every Card, Product & Mega Charizard X ex Prices

Its defining trait is concentration: every card trading above USD $25 is a print of Mega Charizard X ex, and the best non-Charizard card is a Supporter at USD $23.74 on July 24, 2026. Below: the six Mega Evolution ex, twelve chase cards, every sealed product with live CAD prices, and the market data.

Four Phantasmal Flames products are tracked, hydrating below with today's CAD price and 7d move. The ME02 set page on Quaza Track holds the history.

Where the set came from

Phantasmal Flames is a merge, not a translation. The pool comes from Japan's Inferno X (インフェルノX, m2, September 26, 2025, 116 cards at ¥180 a pack) plus both MEGA Starter Sets of September 5, 2025 at ¥1,800 each, the source of Mega Gengar ex and Mega Diancie ex; two Traditional Chinese bundles followed on October 9. Japan publishes no box MSRP, so the ¥5,400 in circulation is 30 packs at ¥180.

Meowth and Paldean Wooper are English debuts of November 2024 Japanese promos, and the proof is printed: Meowth 106/094 carries mark H, the rest mark I. At 94 cards before secrets it is the smallest regular English set in eight years, per PokeBeach. Pack art is by akagi, logo by Gwen Machan. Mega Charizard X ex returns after 11 years and 6 months; its previous card was Flashfire.

The six Mega Evolution ex

Every Mega Evolution Pokémon ex gives up three Prize cards when knocked out, not two. What varies is the Stage: Charizard from Charmeleon, Gengar from Haunter, Sharpedo from Carvanha, Lopunny from Buneary; Heracross and Diancie are Basics.

Mega Gengar ex and Mega Diancie ex have no full art and no Special Illustration Rare here: both came from the Japanese Starter Sets, which held only regular prints, so the Double Rare is their ceiling. The Mega Gengar ex SIR seen online is 284/217, from Ascended Heroes.

Ignition Energy 124/094 discards at end of turn but gives three Colorless Energy on an Evolution Pokémon, paying for the Stage 2 Megas. Dawn 129/094 tutors a Basic, Stage 1 and Stage 2 at once. Battle Cage 116/094, by MARINA Chikazawa, prevents damage counters being placed on Benched Pokémon by the effects of the opponent's attacks and Abilities; damage from attacks is still taken.

The twelve cards worth knowing

Illustrators below come off the official scans. Two credits need stating precisely, because the wrong pairing is widely repeated: 125/094 is by danciao; takuyoa did 130/094 and 109/094.

What the market shows

The most top-heavy set of the era: two Charizard prints hold nearly all the value and the drop below them is a cliff. Figures are USD aggregator prices, composites rather than sales.

The Charizard SIR held a USD $790 to $900 band through mid-2026; the other four sit between $17 and $24, all lower than on May 6. Graded: a PSA 10 sold for USD $2,750 on November 28, 2025, corrected to $1,975 by January 19, 2026, then $2,102.15 on June 25, 2026. A BGS 10 Black Label took USD $54,100 on March 30, 2026, after $50,000 that January. Sealed is the stranger story, rising where eight-month-old sets unwind.

USD except the final column, the CAD market price on July 24, 2026. Wargamer's April read was direct: the more packs opened chasing the Charizard, the more resellers charge for sealed. That is demand, not supply, and no ME02 reprint or restock announcement was found. The era pattern sits behind it: the two 2025 Mega sets trade at $458.85 and $584.15 CAD a box against $242.42 to $296.56 for the three still in print, so the dividing line is print status, not quality. Four tracked products still averaged −4.4% on the week to July 24.
