Phantasmal Flames — Set Guide, Products and Chase Cards

Phantasmal Flames is the second main expansion of the Pokémon TCG's Mega Evolution series, released on 14 November 2025. It is headlined by Mega Charizard X ex and brings a ghostly, fiery theme with 94 main cards and 130 cards in total. Here is what is in the set, what to open and which cards collectors chase.

Phantasmal Flames at a Glance

Phantasmal Flames has 94 cards in its main numbering and 36 secret cards above it, for 130 in total. Mega Charizard X ex is the face of the set, joined by Mega Sharpedo ex, Mega Lopunny ex and Rotom ex, plus the trainer Dawn. As in the rest of the Mega Evolution series, most of the ex cards are Mega Evolution Pokémon with big attacks and their own rule box.

Phantasmal Flames Products

Phantasmal Flames is sold in the usual line-up of booster packs, booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, booster bundles and smaller collection boxes. An Elite Trainer Box is a good way to open the set: it has booster packs plus sleeves, energy cards, dice and a storage box. For a specific card, buying the single is the surest route.

The Chase: Mega Charizard X ex

Mega Charizard X ex appears three times above the main numbering: as an Ultra Rare full art (109/094), as a Special Illustration Rare (125/094) and as a gold Mega Hyper Rare (130/094), the very last card in the set. The Mega Hyper Rare is the hardest card to pull in Phantasmal Flames.

Special Illustration Rares

Phantasmal Flames has five Special Illustration Rares, numbered 125 to 129: Mega Charizard X ex, Rotom ex, Mega Sharpedo ex, Mega Lopunny ex and Dawn. The gold Mega Hyper Rare follows at 130. The Dawn Special Illustration Rare is the trainer card collectors look for most.

Illustration Rares

Thirteen Illustration Rares (095 to 107) show smaller Pokémon in full scenes, including Piplup, Yamper, Zacian, Flygon, Togedemaru, Wigglytuff and Meowth. They are easier to pull than the Special Illustration Rares and are a popular set to complete in a binder.
