Medicham

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 4/10

Recent sales show no 30-day price change, low demand due to weak playability despite strong art[1][3].

Next months. Stable at $7-12 raw; graded copies may emerge post-release.

Long term. Declining interest unless meta shift; art may sustain low collector value.

History

Medicham is a Fighting/Psychic-type Pokémon that evolves from Meditite, depicted as a meditating martial artist radiating powerful aura and striking combat-ready poses, with this card featuring a new Illustration Rare art of Mega Medicham, a form previously unseen in physical Pokémon TCG outside of Pokémon Pocket[3][4].

First released in the Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes set on January 30, 2026[2].

• First physical TCG printing of Mega Medicham[3]
• Features intimidating artwork showing Medicham in a powerful, aura-farming combat pose despite limited gameplay viability[3]
• Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon with 120 HP and unique 'Seventh Kick' attack dealing 150 damage only if exactly 7 cards in hand[4][5]

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge wear, surface scratches, centering issues, and print defects common in Illustration Rares; lightly played copies show minor wear as seen in recent sales[1].

Storage. Store in semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent fading of holofoil and artwork[2].

Authenticity. Verify TCGPlayer ID 676053, ePID if from eBay, and card number 241/217; inspect holo pattern, font alignment, and black market fakes often have off-color auras or blurry attacks[2][4].
