How these are measured

Computed from this set's own recorded value series; windows are stated and nothing is modeled. Each return is the first recorded value inside its window against the last. We withhold it when the number of cards in the basket changed inside the window, when a single step moved more than 20%, or when the series cannot cover the window.

The short, expensive tail of the set.

If you are building it

You can own 177 of the 187 priced cards in Mega Evolution for about $267. The median card is $0.18. The remaining $1,025 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Mega Lucario ex - 188/132, $205) is 16% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 21% and then a very short, very expensive tail.

Cheaper than the box

The single most valuable card in this set costs $95.36 less than one sealed booster box of it. Box price TCGplayer, quoted October 31, 2026.

68.2% of the box. Two recorded prices. The odds of pulling the card are the rip simulation below, not this line.

Where these odds come from

Odds are measured rates from TCGplayer Infinite pull-rate study (5,000+ packs); The Pokémon Company publishes no official odds. The chase math assumes every card in a tier is equally likely within its slot, and prices the packs at the tracked booster-box price. It is arithmetic, not a promise.

How the simulation works, tier by tier

We simulated 10,000 booster boxes of Mega Evolution using today's real market price for every card in the set, the real box price ($302, $8.39/pack), and the published per-pack pull rates for this set. Most simulated boxes came out worth less than they cost. The contents are worth 39.0% of the box ask on average.

Simulation, clearly labeled as one. Card prices and the $302 box price (Mega Evolution Booster Box, 36 packs) are live recorded data. Per-pack odds are published measurements: all 5 rates were measured on this set's own packs (tcgplayer.com, 5,000+ packs). The simulation assumes every card in the tier is equally likely, which flatters any tier holding one expensive card: valuing each tier at its median card instead of its mean moves the expected value by 15.8% on this set. Commons, uncommons and reverse holos are worth $49 of the box before any hit. Unpriced cards count $0 (185 of 188 pooled cards are priced). Selling costs, fees and shipping are NOT deducted, so real-world outcomes skew worse than shown. Re-simulated every 2 days. Not financial advice.

Breadth: 67 cards up · 95 down · 21 flat over 30 days. Biggest mover: Night Stretcher (+28.6%).
