By The Lucky Egg Team | November 25, 2025

The Mega Evolution era is in full swing, and if you thought the nostalgia hit hard with the first set, Phantasmal Flames has just turned the temperature up to critical levels. Released officially on November 14, this set has already cemented itself as a modern classic, bringing the beloved Mega Evolution mechanic back with a dark, fiery twist.

For collectors, the hunt is fierce. Prices are fluctuating wildly as the market tries to stabilize around these new "Mega Hyper Rares." Whether you are ripping booster boxes or hunting singles, you need to know what to look for.

Here is your essential guide to the top chase cards of Phantasmal Flames and why you should be tracking them on Lucky Egg.

1. Mega Charizard X ex (Mega Hyper Rare)

• Card Number: #128/094
• Estimated Value: ~$700 - $800+

Let’s be honest: it’s Charizard. It’s always Charizard. But this isn't just any reprint. The Mega Charizard X ex in the new Mega Hyper Rare (MHR) rarity is the crown jewel of 2025 so far.

Featuring the gold-etched foil treatment that has become the signature of this block, this card depicts the black-and-blue dragon in a style that feels both vintage and ultra-modern. The "MHR" rarity is notoriously difficult to pull (current data suggests pull rates are tougher than 1 in 600 packs), driving its price into the stratosphere. If you pull this, grade it immediately—or log it in your Lucky Egg portfolio to watch its value spike in real-time.

2. Dawn (Special Illustration Rare)

• Card Number: #087/094
• ~$65 - $80
