Mega Gengar ex - 269/217 - ME: Ascended Heroes (ASC)

Gengar has been one of the most iconic Pokémon in the franchise for thirty years, and Mega Gengar ex 269/217 from Ascended Heroes is the definitive modern statement on that legacy. Numbered beyond the set's 217-card base as a secret rare, this Mega Attack Rare pulls double duty as a full-art holo — illustrated by Taiga Kasai — and lands in one of the most significant Pokémon TCG releases in years.

Ascended Heroes (ASC, released January 30, 2026) is the largest set ever printed in the English Pokémon TCG at 295 cards, and it introduced the Mega Attack Rare rarity for the first time. The set draws heavily from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, making Mega Evolutions the centerpiece of the modern hobby conversation. Mega Gengar ex is one of the set's top chase targets alongside Mega Charizard Y and Mega Dragonite.

On the gameplay side, this Stage 2 Darkness-type hits 350 HP and swings for 230 damage with Void Gale, while its Shadowy Concealment Ability forces opponents to take one fewer Prize card when a Darkness Pokémon is knocked out by a Pokémon ex — a real competitive edge in an ex-heavy format.
