Hey fellow Pokémon card hunters! When Creatures Inc. dropped the MEGA Dream ex reveal livestream on November 7, my collector’s heart skipped a beat. Launching in Japan on November 28, 2025, this High Class Pack is the perfect cap to the year, starring Mega Dragonite ex and promising Z-A exclusives like Mega Eelektross ex. As someone who’s filled binders with XY Megas and Scarlet & Violet SIRs, this set feels like a dream—193 main cards, 10-card packs with guaranteed ex/Mega ex, comic-book Mega Attack Rares, and Mega Stone Mirrors. English special set on January 30, 2026? Count me in! At CardChill.com, I’m sharing my excitement, speculations, and what this set brings for collectors.

Why MEGA Dream ex Has Me Dreaming Big
I’ve chased sets from Base to Phantasmal Flames, but MEGA Dream ex hits different. The 10-card packs (¥5,500/~$36 USD boxes) guarantee hits—no more dead pulls! Reprints from 2024-2025 make catch-up easy, while new Megas like Dragonite ex bring that XY nostalgia with modern flair. Booster boxes at Sakura’s Card Shop ($142 USD) are already invite-only on Amazon JP—scalpers incoming!
The Cards That’ll Fill My Binder
Mega Dragonite ex (RR Double Rare): Stage 2 Dragon/Flying ex with Split Bomb (60 to 2 foes) and Disaster Shock (190, discard 2 Lightning for Paralyze). 350 HP? Wings spanning the card? I’m envisioning it in my Mega shrine next to Charizard X ex.
Mega Eelektross ex (Lightning, 350 HP): Split Bomb and Disaster Shock mirror Dragonite—perfect for Eelektrik decks. The eel design in silhouette art will glow!
Dragonair Ability: Evolution Discovery: Search Evolutions if Energy attached—game-changer for Mega lines. Paired with Dratini’s Headbutt (30 damage), it’s a smooth evo chain.
Thick Scale Tool: 50 less damage from G/R/W/L attacks on [N] Pokémon—meta protection!
Canari Supporter: Discard 1, search 4 [L] Pokémon—Lightning accelerator for Eelektross!
Mega Attack Rares (MA): Comic “BAM!/POW!” overlays on Full Art Megas (Charizard X ex, Gardevoir ex, Lucario ex). English cards have Japanese text—bilingual coolness!
Mega Stone Mirror: Reverse holos with Mega Stones (Budew + Friend Ball)—evolution-themed beauty.
Secret Rares: #243/193 Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex SAR hints 50+ extras—god packs galore!
My Speculations: What This Set Brings Collectors
As a binder fiend, I’m speculating 50+ secret rares mean a massive IR/SIR wave—Dreepy/Drakloak IRs confirmed, Dragapult Tera next? MA rarity’s comic style is fresh, like XY flashbacks. English special set (January 30, 2026) likely Trainer Blisters (2 packs + promo) and ETBs with stamped Dragonite. Prices? JP boxes $133-142 USD now; English Booster Boxes $144.99 MSRP, but scalpers push $220+. Low print = quick appreciation.
Meta-wise, Dragonite ex’s split-damage disrupts, Eelektross Paralyzes benches—Standard shakes up for Worlds 2026. TCG Live November 27 quests preview it.
My Collecting Plan: Chasing the Dream
I’m budgeting $200: JP box via Dot’s ($133), Start Deck ($6), English ETB preorder. Prerelease November 21-29 for Build & Battle promos like Dratini. Trading Dreepy IRs for Grimmsnarl SAR. Goal: PSA 10 Dragonite ex for display.
MEGA Dream ex is the Mega revival we needed—Z-A teases ahead. For hype, visit Pokémon TCG sets or Pokémon cards.
