07Why Collectors Want It
- Special Illustration Rares are the alternate-art chase cards of the modern era, printed beyond the numbered set (here #284 of a 217-card set) and pulled at very low rates.
- This Mega Gengar ex from Ascended Heroes (2026) trades around $1,400 raw, with PSA 10 copies realizing roughly $3,334 (PriceCharting, May 2026).
- It pairs fan-favorite Gengar with the returning Mega Evolution mechanic and a full-art illustration treatment, driving strong demand among modern collectors.
- It is the highest-value modern Gengar on the site, second only to the vintage Skyridge H9 holo.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: Situational
MEGA Evolution Gengar with 350 HP and a top attack near 230 damage. Ultra-rare Gengar variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Shadowy Concealment
If 1 of your Darkness Pokémon is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon ex, that player takes 1 fewer Prize card. The effect of Shadowy Concealment doesn't stack.
Void Gale
Move an Energy from this Pokémon to 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: ~$3,334 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026)
As a modern textured Special Illustration Rare it grades more consistently than vintage holos, so the PSA 10 premium over raw is moderate (~2.4x); edge wear on the textured foil is the usual barrier to a gem-mint grade.
Other graders: CGC submissions trend up for modern IRs; PSA remains the resale standard.
