メガカイリュー ex

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 6/10

The card is a character-driven modern holo with strong but not extreme scarcity, so prices are likely to remain anchored by grading premiums rather than raw-card rarity.

Next months. Likely to stay stable with small fluctuations driven by grading demand and set attention.

Long term. Expected to remain a low-to-moderate value modern collector card unless Dragonite receives renewed competitive or media-driven demand.

History

メガカイリュー ex is Mega Dragonite ex, the Mega Evolution of Dragonite, one of the most iconic pseudo-legendary Pokémon introduced in the original Generation I era. Dragonite is known in the franchise as a powerful Dragon/Flying-type line centered on speed, high attack power, and a friendly-but-mighty design; the Mega version emphasizes its role as a late-game powerhouse and collector-favorite chase card.

First released in Japan on 2025-11-28 in the high-class pack MEGAドリームex (M2a / Mega Dream ex), card number 126/193, as a RR (Double Rare) holo card.

• Japanese name: メガカイリューex; English equivalent: Mega Dragonite ex.
• Card number 126/193 places it in the main numbered subset of MEGAドリームex.
• This print is a standard Double Rare holo rather than a Secret Rare, which usually keeps raw supply relatively high compared with chase alt arts.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for whitening on corners and edges, surface scratching on the holo area, centering on the front and back, and roller marks or print lines common on modern Japanese holos. Because this is a premium-pack card, pack fresh copies still often show minor edge wear.

Storage. Store in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder immediately, then keep in a cool, dry place away from direct light. For long-term preservation, use archival sleeves and avoid repeated handling of the holo surface.

Authenticity. Authentic copies should match the Japanese print quality, card stock feel, and modern Pokémon card layout for M2a. Watch for blurry text, off-color holo patterns, incorrect numbering, or overly glossy surfaces that can indicate fakes; compare against known images of 126/193 RR from MEGAドリームex.
