About Mega Gengar ex #269/217 – Ascended Heroes (PSA 10 Gem Mint)
Mega Gengar ex #269/217 from Ascended Heroes is one of the most striking Darkness-type MEGA ex cards in the Pokémon TCG’s recent era. This specimen has been professionally graded as PSA 10 Gem Mint, meaning it appears in near-factory condition with sharp corners, perfect centering, and no visible flaws — the highest grade a card can receive from PSA. For collectors and competitive players, this grading is a mark of quality that underscores both the card’s rarity and its aesthetic value.
Card identity and artwork
The card belongs to the Ascended Heroes expansion (set code ASC) and carries the collector number 269/217. It is illustrated by Taiga Kasai, whose dynamic style highlights Gengar’s signature shadowy expression. As a Stage 2 MEGA ex, Mega Gengar ex evolves from Haunter and has 350 HP — among the highest for Darkness-type Pokémon in this category.
Gameplay mechanics and unique features
- Ability: Shadowy Concealment – Prevents the opponent from taking one Prize card if one of your Darkness Pokémon is Knocked Out by an attack from a Pokémon ex. This effect cannot be stacked and bolsters Darkness decks that use prize-denial strategies.
- Attack: Void Gale – Two Darkness energies deal 230 damage and let you move an energy from Mega Gengar ex to one of your Benched Pokémon, providing flexibility in energy management.
- Weakness: Fighting ×2
- Retreat Cost: 2
The card’s Mega Attack Rare rarity (MEGA_ATTACK_RARE) marks it as one of only seven Mega Attack Rares in the Ascended Heroes set, making it a sought-after collector’s piece — especially for those focused on the Mega Evolution theme.
Collector relevance and set affiliation
Mega Gengar ex #269/217 was released only as a holofoil and does not have alternative variants. Its status as a chase card and flagship Darkness-type Mega ex in Ascended Heroes makes it a cornerstone for any collection of Graded cards or Mega Evolution cards.
