Mega Hawlucha ex — Special Illustration Rare | 283/217 | Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes
This is the Special Illustration Rare version of Mega Hawlucha ex — one of only 22 SIRs spread across the full secret-rare block of Ascended Heroes, landing at slot #283 in a set that tops out at 295 cards. Ascended Heroes released January 30, 2026 as the ME2.5 expansion in the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution series and currently holds the distinction of being the largest Pokémon TCG set ever printed at 295 cards total. Full art, holo finish, and the signature illustrative style of artist AKIRA EGAWA make this one of the standout pulls from the entire set.
- Rarity: Special Illustration Rare (SIR) — 283/217 — one of 22 in the set's secret rare tier
- Artist: AKIRA EGAWA — full art, full holo treatment
- Set: Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes (ASC), released January 30, 2026
- Market value: Raw NM copies trading in the $55–$68 range, with PSA 10 slabs commanding a meaningful premium above that floor

The Mega Evolution era is driving real collector demand, and SIRs from Ascended Heroes are the set's chase tier. A raw NM copy of the Hawlucha SIR is the entry point into that conversation — hold it raw, or send it to PSA where a gem mint slab pushes this card decisively higher.
