Mega Absol Ex is the kind of card that stops you mid-scroll, a dark and eerie Ultra Rare from the 2025 Mega Evolution set, brought to life by illustrator aky CG Works. If you're checking Mega Absol Ex value because you just pulled one or you're eyeing a copy online, the short answer is that it sits at a modest but real $5 raw, with real upside if you land a clean grade. It's a card collectors talk about for the artwork as much as the numbers, and that combination is exactly why it's worth understanding both sides.

The collector's take on Mega Absol Ex
Is Mega Absol Ex worth grading?
So, is Mega Absol Ex worth grading? A raw copy runs $5, and a PSA 10 sits at $45, which works out to about 9.0x the raw price if you hit gem mint. That's a real jump, but grading has its own cost and turnaround time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10. A Grade 9 lands at $20, which is still a nice step up from raw but a lot less than a perfect card, so the honest advice is to look closely at your copy's corners, edges and centering before you send it in. If it looks clean under good light, grading can make sense. If you're on the fence, it's worth remembering that plenty of cards come back at 8 or 9, not 10, so go in with realistic expectations.
How rare is Mega Absol Ex?
Right now there are 2,509 graded copies of Mega Absol Ex on record, and of those, 1,467 have come back as PSA 10. That's actually a pretty high share landing at the top grade, which tells you this card isn't brutally hard to grade well, but it also means the population of perfect copies is sizeable enough that scarcity alone isn't driving the price sky high. It's a card where condition matters more than rarity of the grade itself, so the value story here is really about demand and how many collectors want this particular illustration in their binder.
Where can you pull Mega Absol Ex?
PackSpy has tracked 10 pulls of Mega Absol Ex across sites, including lastpack and packs, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $6. We've also seen it turn up in starter packs, Mega Evolution packs, and rookie packs, so it's not locked to one specific product. That said, ten recorded pulls is a small number in the grand scheme, which tells you plainly that Mega Absol Ex is not an easy pull, and most collectors who want one end up buying raw or graded copies on the secondary market rather than chasing it through packs. Worth saying too, since it's true of all pack openings, that the odds are against you and most rips lose money, so treat pulling for this specific card as a bonus, not a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Mega Absol Ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Mega Absol Ex is valued at $5 right now. Once you get into graded copies the price climbs, with a Grade 9 at $20 and a PSA 10 at $45, so condition really does most of the heavy lifting on this one.
Is Mega Absol Ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth roughly 9.0x what the raw card sells for. But grading costs money and takes time, and with 2,509 copies graded so far there's no guarantee of a perfect result, so only send in copies that genuinely look flawless.
How much is a PSA 10 Mega Absol Ex worth?+
A PSA 10 Mega Absol Ex is worth $45. Out of 2,509 graded copies on record, 1,467 have achieved that gem mint PSA 10 grade, so it's an achievable but not guaranteed outcome if you're grading your own.
