The sheer madness of Pokémon card prices not only continues on with the latest Mega Evolution set, but gets even more ludicrous. A year back, when putting together these galleries of the highest-priced cards in a set, the bottom end of the top 10 would generally be around $10, with a peak at around $100. For Mega Evolution, our number 10 card is currently selling for over $50, and your eyes will be watering by the end.

One of the oddest things Game Freak did with Pokémon X and Y a decade ago was introducing the Mega Evolution mechanic and not giving a beefier form to the game's three starters: Greninja, Chesnaught, and Delphox. Greninja went on to have a special "Ash-Greninja" form based on a transformation shown in the anime, but none of the Kalos starters got to take part in their region's battle gimmick. That's finally changing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
