Ascended Heroes Pull Rates, Chase Cards & Card List

The rates above come from TCGplayer's count of more than 2,000 English packs opened after the 20 February release. A Special Illustration Rare turned up about once in 70 packs, better than most Mega Evolution sets, but the set has 22 of them, so any one named SIR is closer to a 1 in 1,540 pull. Each of the two gold Mega Hyper Rares is about 1 in 1,080.

Ultra Rares are the tier that behaves differently here. A Mega Attack Rare takes the Ultra Rare's place in the packs where it appears, so Ultra Rares land about once in 21 packs rather than the usual one in 12, and Mega Attack Rares about once in 29. Illustration Rares stay common at roughly one pack in nine.

A God Pack swaps a normal pack's contents for three Mega Attack Rares and seven Special Illustration Rares. They are real, but rare enough that TCGplayer did not find one in its 2,000-pack count. The published estimates of how often they appear disagree with each other, so the pull-rate table above leaves them out.

Ascended Heroes introduced the Mega Attack Rare to English expansions; before it, the rarity had only appeared on English promo cards. Each one is a full-art Mega Evolution Pokémon ex drawn in a comic-book style, and there are seven: Mega Froslass ex, Mega Eelektross ex, Mega Diancie ex, Mega Hawlucha ex, Mega Gengar ex, Mega Scrafty ex and Mega Dragonite ex, numbered 265 to 271.

Twenty-two Special Illustration Rares make this the deepest chase in the era. Pikachu ex has two of them, #276 (illustrated by booota) and #277, and they sit near the top of the ranking alongside Mega Gengar ex (#284), Mega Dragonite ex (#290) and Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex (#281). The gold Mega Hyper Rares, Mega Charizard Y ex (#294) and Mega Dragonite ex (#295), are the rarer tier, yet each one, at about 1 in 1,080 packs, is an easier pull than any single SIR at about 1 in 1,540; the ranking above shows where they sit today.

As a special set, Ascended Heroes has no booster box, and its packs were not sold on their own. They come in boxed products, released in waves from 30 January 2026:

• Tech Sticker Collections (3 packs), from 30 January.
• Elite Trainer Box (9 packs and a full-art N's Zekrom promo), Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box (11 packs) and Mini Tins (2 packs), from 20 February.
• Premium Poster Collection (10 packs), from 20 March.
• Booster Bundle (6 packs), from 24 April.
• Also: Mega ex Boxes (4 packs), the First Partners Pin Collection (5 packs) and 2-pack Collections.

The Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box adds two packs to the retail box, two full-art N's Zekrom promos (the one with the Pokémon Center stamp comes only in this box), 65 sleeves, 40 Energy, dice, a plastic Dragonite coin, the player's guide and a storage box with six dividers. Our Ascended Heroes ETB guide goes through it piece by piece, and Ascended Heroes or Perfect Order compares the two sets.

Ascended Heroes combines Japan's MEGA Dream ex, released on 28 November 2025, with the new cards from Start Deck 100 Battle Collection, released on 19 December. It sits between Phantasmal Flames and Perfect Order, and our Mega Evolution sets ranked guide shows how it compares across the era.

28 Sep 2026: our Ascended Heroes pull rates guide moved here. The odds now follow TCGplayer's 2,000-pack count, which puts Ultra Rares at 1 in 21 rather than the 1 in 10 to 12 we showed before, and the God Pack contents are corrected to three Mega Attack Rares and seven SIRs.
