Mega Sharpedo ex has three Japanese prints in the official Pokemon Card Game database — RR 051/080, SR 098/080 and SAR 113/080, all メガサメハダーex from Inferno X (M2) — and all three carry the same 330 HP and the same two attacks.
The frame and the artwork credit set them apart: 5ban Graphics is credited on the RR and the SR, and nagimiso on the SAR. Limitless TCG, a third-party database, lists three English Mega Sharpedo ex prints in Phantasmal Flames, and Bulbapedia’s card page pairs each Japanese number with one of them. An older XY-era card, M Sharpedo EX, is a different Pokemon-EX and has its own section.
We ship Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. The yen prices shown are current listings, with USD converted at ¥154/USD (approximate).
Three Japanese Mega Sharpedo ex prints appear in the official database as of October 1, 2026: RR 051/080, SR 098/080 and SAR 113/080, all in Inferno X (M2). The PSA 10 SAR is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥4,688 (~$30) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. The RR and the SR have no priced listing at the time of this update.
The list covers all three Mega Sharpedo ex rows in the official Japanese card database as of October 1, 2026, the three English prints Limitless TCG lists for the same name, and the two XY-era M Sharpedo EX rows.
The 3 Japanese Mega Sharpedo ex Prints
The official database lists three cards named メガサメハダーex, each with its own rarity icon and number. “No priced listing” means no Mega Sharpedo ex product carrying that number has a current price in our catalogue, and sourcing requests for it go through Quick Order.
| Set | No. | Card | Rarity | Illustrator | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M2 | 051/080 | Mega Sharpedo ex | RR | 5ban Graphics | No priced listing |
| M2 | 098/080 | Mega Sharpedo ex | SR | 5ban Graphics | No priced listing |
| M2 | 113/080 | Mega Sharpedo ex | SAR | nagimiso | PSA 10 back order ¥4,688 (~$30) |
Each row has its own detail page in the database (card IDs 48391, 48504 and 48519), within the single set Inferno X. Bulbapedia’s card page calls the English versions a Regular card, a Full Art ultra rare and a special illustration rare, which line up with the Japanese RR, SR and SAR.
Inferno X (M2): The Set Behind the Mega Sharpedo ex Prints
Inferno X (M2, インフェルノX), the expansion pack behind all three Mega Sharpedo ex prints, sells at ¥180 for a 5-card pack per the official set page (pokemon-card.com/ex/m2). Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) gives 2025-09-26 as its date and 80 as its main-set size, and matches it to the English Phantasmal Flames at set level.
| Detail | Inferno X (M2) |
|---|---|
| Japanese name | インフェルノX |
| English name | Inferno X |
| Release date (Bulbapedia) | 2025-09-26 |
| Type | Expansion pack |
| Price per pack | ¥180 |
| Cards per pack | 5 |
| Main-set cards | 80 |
| English set Bulbapedia pairs it with | Phantasmal Flames |
Bulbapedia’s Inferno X page counts 116 cards in all and gives the Japanese release as September 26, 2025, with Traditional Chinese on October 9, 2025 and Korean on November 28, 2025. Mega Sharpedo ex 098 and 113 sit past the 80-card main set.
The Inferno X listing page lists the set card by card, our Inferno X complete guide covers its cards and where to buy, the Mega series box ranking ranks M2 against the other MEGA-era boxes, and Japanese Pokemon card sets in order places it in the release sequence.
What the Database Prints on Mega Sharpedo ex
The three prints share one set of card data. The database shows Mega Sharpedo ex as a Stage 1 Darkness Pokemon with 330 HP, and it evolves from キバニア according to Limitless. The evolution block on the official detail page links the names サメハダー, メガサメハダーex and キバニア.
| Field | As printed in the database |
|---|---|
| Card name | メガサメハダーex |
| Stage | Stage 1 (1 進化) |
| HP | 330 |
| Type | Darkness |
| Weakness | Grass ×2 |
| Resistance | None shown |
| Retreat cost | 0 |
| Special rule | When a Mega Evolution ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 3 Prize cards |
| Regulation mark | I, per Limitless (the database page does not print it) |
The Two Attacks
| Attack | Cost | Damage | Text |
|---|---|---|---|
| よくばるキバ | One Darkness Energy | 70 | Draw 2 cards. |
| ハングリージョー | Two Darkness Energy | 120+ | If this Pokemon has damage counters on it, this attack does 150 more damage. |
The attack text is a paraphrase of the printed card text. The data block is identical on the RR, the SR and the SAR, so the gameplay text does not help tell the prints apart; frame, artwork and number do. For deck building, the printed rule text on all three prints says a Mega Evolution ex that is Knocked Out gives up 3 Prize cards.
The regulation mark is a separate point. The official database page does not print a mark for the card; Limitless’s Japanese card pages for #51, #98 and #113 show the letter I. That letter is Limitless’s own entry and is not confirmed on the official page.
Mega Sharpedo ex RR, SR and SAR in Detail
Mega Sharpedo ex RR 051/080 — 5ban Graphics
The RR is the lowest-numbered of the three and the only one printed inside the 80-card main-set range. The database credits it to 5ban Graphics, and Limitless’s Japanese page for it shows the label “Double Rare”.
Mega Sharpedo ex SR 098/080 — 5ban Graphics
The SR is the full-art print, and it repeats the RR’s illustrator credit, 5ban Graphics. The database shows its rarity icon as SR, and Limitless names the same print “Secret Rare” in its own vocabulary.
Mega Sharpedo ex SAR 113/080 — nagimiso
The SAR is the special-art print and the only one credited to nagimiso. At 113 of an 80-card main set it is the highest-numbered of the three. PSA 10 Mega Sharpedo ex SAR [M2 113/080] is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥4,688 (~$30). A physical PSA 10 slab of the SAR is sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order.
Reading the Numbers: Which Prints Sit Above the Set Size
Each Mega Sharpedo ex number pairs a collector number with Inferno X’s printed set size, 080. Our guide to reading Japanese Pokemon cards covers the format, and the rarities explained article covers the codes.
| Collector number | Printed set size | Number above set size? | Rarity code meaning | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M2 RR | 051 | 80 | No | RR = Double Rare |
| M2 SR | 098 | 80 | Yes | SR = Super Rare |
| M2 SAR | 113 | 80 | Yes | SAR = Special Art Rare |
The SR and the SAR are the two prints numbered above the set size, and they are the full-art and special-art frames. Because of that, the number on a slab label or a listing title already identifies the frame: 051 is the regular RR, 098 the SR and 113 the SAR. The 113 sits 33 numbers above the 80-card count, and the 098 sits 18 above it.
The English prints use the same pattern on a different scale. Bulbapedia lists the English numbers as 061/094, 113/094 and 127/094, so the English 113 and 127 are the ones above that set’s printed size of 94.
Two Illustrator Credits Across Three Prints
Two illustrators are credited across the three Japanese prints in the database. Bulbapedia’s card page for Mega Sharpedo ex (Phantasmal Flames 61) states the same for the English release: the regular and full-art prints feature artwork by 5ban Graphics, and the special illustration rare print features artwork by nagimiso.
| Illustrator | Credits | Prints |
|---|---|---|
| 5ban Graphics | 2 | M2 051/080 RR; M2 098/080 SR |
| nagimiso | 1 | M2 113/080 SAR |
In a mixed lot the credit sorts the cards quickly: the nagimiso card is the special-art SAR, and the two 5ban Graphics cards are the RR and the SR. The database lists no other illustrator for the name.
English Mega Sharpedo ex Prints in Phantasmal Flames
Limitless TCG lists three English Mega Sharpedo ex prints as of October 1, 2026, all in Phantasmal Flames (PFL). Bulbapedia’s card page sets each Japanese Inferno X number beside an English Phantasmal Flames number. On Limitless the English print carries the same illustrator credit as its Japanese counterpart in every case, and all three English pages print regulation mark I.
| Japanese print (Inferno X) | English number (Bulbapedia) | English rarity (Bulbapedia) | Limitless English page | Limitless rarity | Illustrator credit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 051/080 RR | 061/094 | Double Rare | PFL #61 | Double Rare | 5ban Graphics |
| 098/080 SR | 113/094 | Ultra Rare | PFL #113 | Ultra Rare | 5ban Graphics |
| 113/080 SAR | 127/094 | Special Illustration Rare | PFL #127 | Special Art Rare | nagimiso |
Each source uses its own rarity words: Bulbapedia writes “Special Illustration Rare”, Limitless writes “Special Art Rare”, and the Japanese database uses the icon code SAR. Bulbapedia (as of September 15, 2026) pairs Inferno X with Phantasmal Flames at set level, and the card page supplies the card-by-card numbers. Our Japanese vs English Pokemon cards article compares the two markets, and the Phantasmal Flames card list walks through the English set.
M Sharpedo EX (XY Era): A Different, Older Card
The official database also lists two rows named M サメハダーEX, both in the High Class Pack “THE BEST OF XY”. This is an XY-era Mega Evolution Pokemon-EX, not one of the three Mega Sharpedo ex prints. The database shows no rarity icon on either row, and it credits both to 5ban Graphics.
| Set | No. | Card | Rarity | Illustrator | Bulbapedia pairing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XY (The Best of XY) | 071/171 | M Sharpedo EX | No icon | 5ban Graphics | XY Black Star Promos XY200 |
| XY (The Best of XY) | 178/171 | M Sharpedo EX | No icon | 5ban Graphics | Yellow A Alternate cards XY200a |
The card data on the 071/171 detail page differs from the M2 card in stage (M進化), HP (210) and weakness (Lightning ×2); like the M2 card, it is a Darkness type with retreat cost 0. Its attack トーピードダイブ costs two Darkness and one Colorless Energy for 120 damage, and it also does damage to each of the opponent’s Benched Pokemon equal to 10 times the number of Energy in that Pokemon’s retreat cost, without applying Weakness and Resistance to the Bench. The rule text says the turn ends when the card becomes a Mega Evolution Pokemon and that the opponent takes 2 Prize cards when a Pokemon-EX is Knocked Out.
Bulbapedia’s page for M Sharpedo-EX (XY Promo 200) states that the card was released as one of the XY Black Star Promos in the Mega Sharpedo-EX Premium Collection, sold at Target stores and the online Pokemon Center store on March 31, 2017 and by other retailers from April 7, 2017, with a Jumbo card in the collection. It adds that the card was reprinted, alongside a Full Art card by 5ban Graphics, in the Japanese The Best of XY subset, and that the Full Art print was later included in the Premium Trainer’s XY Collection, released October 20, 2017.
PSA 10 M Sharpedo EX [XY 071/171] is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥18,156 (~$118), and it also has a physical PSA 10 listing at ¥18,512 (~$120) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). Both listing titles carry the XY 071/171 number.
Mega Sharpedo ex PSA 10 Listings
PSA 10 designates Gem Mint condition per PSA’s published grading standards. The Mega Sharpedo ex PSA 10 listing as of October 1, 2026 is linked with its product image; our guide to PSA 10 back orders explains the back-order route.
The RR 051/080 and the SR 098/080 have no priced listing at the time of this update, and sourcing requests for either go through Quick Order.
Matching a Card or Slab to the Right Print
The table lines up the Japanese RR, SR and SAR with their English Phantasmal Flames numbers.
| Check | RR | SR | SAR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collector number | 051/080 | 098/080 | 113/080 |
| Rarity icon | RR | SR | SAR |
| Illustrator credit | 5ban Graphics | 5ban Graphics | nagimiso |
| Number above the 80-card set size | No | Yes | Yes |
| English number on Bulbapedia’s card page | 061/094 | 113/094 | 127/094 |
Begin with the collector number, which separates all three prints on its own. The rarity code and the illustrator credit then agree with it in the database: the two 5ban Graphics prints are 051 and 098, and the nagimiso print is 113. A card named M Sharpedo EX with a 171-based number is the older XY-era card. For a graded card, the slab label should read M2 113/080 for the SAR, and PSA’s certification lookup confirms the certification number and grade PSA recorded. Our condition guide for Japanese cards and PSA 10 meaning article explain graded versus raw cards.
