Top 10 Most Expensive Cards in Ascended Heroes — How Many Packs It Takes

Описание: Is Ascended Heroes the hardest set to master in the history of the Pokémon TCG? With nearly 300 cards in the set list and only TWO Gold Mega Hyper Rares, the odds are stacked against us. Today on RipAndRegret, I’m doing the math so you don’t have to. We’re looking at raw eBay "Sold" data and calculating the exact number of Elite Trainer Boxes (ETBs) you’d need to rip to find these legends.

The Pokémon Ascended Heroes (Mega Evolution Era) expansion is here, and it is officially the biggest set of 2026. But with the return of Mega Evolutions comes a brutal reality for collectors. From the Mega Gengar ex SIR 284/217 to the impossible Gold Mega Charizard Y ex, we are breaking down the Top 10 most expensive cards in Ascended Heroes.

Why are pull rates so low? We dive into the statistical probability of hitting a Special Illustration Rare (SIR) and why the market value for N’s Zoroark ex and Lillie’s Clefairy ex is skyrocketing. If you're a new collector or a seasoned investor, this is your ultimate guide to the "Mega Era" market.
