#10. Mega Feraligatr ex Special Illustration Rare #274
Special Illustration RareThe 10th most expensive card from Ascended Heroes right now is Mega Feraligatr ex Special Illustration Rare #274. Even at the #10 spot, Ascended Heroes is still comfortably above the $100 mark, which says a lot about how strong the chase cards are in this set. Feraligatr is the final evolution of Totodile, one of the three Johto starter Pokemon, and while all three starters received SIR cards in Ascended Heroes, Mega Feraligatr ex is the only one that managed to break into the top 10.
#9. N's Zoroark ex Special Illustration Rare #286

#9. N's Zoroark ex Special Illustration Rare #286
Special Illustration RareThe 9th most expensive card from Ascended Heroes right now is N's Zoroark ex Special Illustration Rare #286. N has already shown he can carry serious value on these types of lists, with N's Zoroark ex SIR #185 finishing at #2 in Journey Together. It is no surprise to see him back again here, and this time he manages to land another premium card inside the top 10.
#8. Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Illustration Rare #280
Special Illustration Rare
#8. Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Illustration Rare #280
Special Illustration RareThe 8th most expensive card from Ascended Heroes is Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Illustration Rare #280. Lillie cards continue to perform extremely well, just like we saw in Journey Together where Lillie's Clefairy ex SIR #184 took the #1 spot. This version does not quite reach those same heights, but it is still one of the top Ascended Heroes chase cards and one of the most expensive cards in the set.
#7. Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare #281
Special Illustration Rare
#7. Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare #281
Special Illustration RareAt #7 on the list of most expensive Ascended Heroes cards, we have Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex SIR #281. Mewtwo already proved in Destined Rivals that it can anchor a set, with Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex SIR #231 taking the #1 spot there. This version lands a bit lower, but a Team Rocket Mewtwo card pushing close to $300 is still a huge result and one of the biggest hits in Ascended Heroes.
#6. Mega Dragonite ex Mega Hyper Rare #295
Mega Hyper Rare
#6. Mega Dragonite ex Mega Hyper Rare #295
Mega Hyper RareThe 6th most expensive card from Ascended Heroes right now is Mega Dragonite ex Mega Hyper Rare #295. This is one of the more surprising placements in the set, as we see SIRs really starting to displace MHR rarities. Dragonite has always had strong collector appeal though, so it is not shocking to see this card break into the upper half of the list.
#5. Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare #277
Special Illustration Rare
#5. Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare #277
Special Illustration RareAt #5 on the list we have Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare #277. This is a special card in that it was illustrated by James Turner, who was with Game Freak from 2009 to 2022. Even though this is only the lower-ranked Pikachu on the list, it is still one of the best Ascended Heroes pulls and one of the cards many collectors will be hoping to hit.
#4. Mega Charizard Y ex Mega Hyper Rare #294
Mega Hyper Rare
#4. Mega Charizard Y ex Mega Hyper Rare #294
Mega Hyper RareThe 4th most valuable card from Ascended Heroes is Mega Charizard Y ex Mega Hyper Rare #294. Charizard does not need much help when it comes to holding premium value, though to see it displaced by so many SIRs is somewhat surprising. Previously we only had evidence from Phantasmal Flames where the MHR is only outranked by the Charizard SIR, while in Mega Evolution the MHR gold cards rank at the top. This makes it official. Fan-favorite Pokemon in SIR can outrank even Charizard in MHR.
#3. Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare #276
Special Illustration Rare
#3. Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare #276
Special Illustration RareComing in at #3 is Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare #276. It is pretty unusual for one Pokemon to place two cards this high in the same set, but Ascended Heroes is special. With this copy outranking the other Pikachu entry by a wide margin, it is clear that this is the preferred artwork, and one of the top chase cards from Ascended Heroes right now.
#2. Mega Dragonite ex Special Illustration Rare #290
Special Illustration Rare
#2. Mega Dragonite ex Special Illustration Rare #290
Special Illustration RareThe 2nd most expensive card from Ascended Heroes is Mega Dragonite ex Special Illustration Rare #290. Notably, collectors were very much against the design of Mega Dragonite when it was first revealed with wings on its head, but high rarity and beautiful artwork can get even the most cynical collector to change their mind. Dragonite has had plenty of popular cards over the years, but this is easily one of the strongest early performances we have seen for one. Between the SIR treatment and Dragonite's popularity with collectors, it makes sense that this card has emerged as one of the biggest cards in the set.
#1. Mega Gengar ex Special Illustration Rare #284
Special Illustration Rare
#1. Mega Gengar ex Special Illustration Rare #284
Special Illustration RareMega Gengar ex Special Illustration Rare #284 is the most expensive card from Ascended Heroes at the time of writing. Reaching over $1,000 this early is an enormous endeavor, and it immediately puts this card in elite company among modern Pokemon chase cards, such as Moonbreon, Sunbreon, the Charizard SIR from Phantasmal Flames, and the Mew SIR from Paldean Fates. Gengar, just like the alternate art from Fusion Strike, has always been one of the safest bets in the hobby, and this card looks like the clear #1 hit from Ascended Heroes right now.
