Reading Mega Gallade ex's stat block

F Fighting HP 220 Retreat cost 2

Mega Gallade ex is a Special Art Rare Stage 2 card from the Ruler of the Skies set with 220 HP. Every STAT on this page comes straight from the card record; the expected pack count further down is a statistical estimate recomputed from the pull table, not a promise.

Its weakness is Psychic, which is the fastest way for an opponent to remove it in a straight trade, and its retreat cost is 2 — that is what you pay in energy to swap it out mid-turn, and it is the number people forget until the card is stranded in the active spot.

Its attacks:

  • Resonating Blade — 100+ damage · cost Fighting + Colorless + Colorless — If you played a Supporter card from your hand during this turn, this attack does 50 more damage.

Read the energy costs together, not just the damage. A card with two attacks usually trades a cheap, weak opener for a pricier attack that does the real work, and the question that decides whether it belongs in a deck is whether you can actually pay for the big one on curve.

Which pack actually drops it

Ruler of the Skies

The per-slot rate table doesn't yet cover Mega Gallade ex's exact rarity grade, so no number is shown here — that's a data gap, not proof this is a PROMO card: Mega Gallade ex genuinely belongs to Ruler of the Skies. Use Pack Points or trading below while this gets filled in. This page shows no per-slot odds or expected pack count for Mega Gallade ex because the rate table doesn't yet cover its exact grade — making up a number here would be a lie. This is NOT a PROMO card: it belongs to Ruler of the Skies. Pack Points and trading below still work.

Three ways to own it

Which pack does this card drop from? Buy it with Pack Points Trade for it

For Mega Gallade ex, pulling packs is still a real path — it belongs to Ruler of the Skies — but the per-slot rate table doesn't yet cover its exact grade, so this page won't guess a number. The second path removes luck entirely. Every pack you open awards 5 Pack Points (an official in-game mechanic, not part of the drop-rate table) regardless of what comes out of it, and those points accumulate until you can redeem this exact card outright. Mega Gallade ex costs 1,250 PP — no pulls, no gambling, just the count. The third path is trading, which spends Shinedust rather than Pack Points, and whether it is open to you depends entirely on the card's rarity. For Mega Gallade ex: It can be traded for 25,000 Shinedust.

Evolution line and other printings

Mega Gallade ex does not evolve from or into anything — it stands alone. Some Pokémon are also printed more than once — across different sets or promo drops, with different art, different rarity, and sometimes different attacks under the same name. Where other printings of this card exist, they are linked on this page, because the stats can differ even when the name matches.

Where this card stands on the ladder

Mega Gallade ex is not a core card in any of the 50 meta decks currently tracked. Chase it for the art and the collection, not for the ladder — spend Pack Points on core cards first, then come back for this one. The meta deck table is recomputed from tournament data (play rate plus win/loss/tie record), not from anyone's opinion. A card missing from that table can still be beautiful and still be expensive to trade for, but it will not win games on its own — those are two different questions and this page answers them separately.

Frequently asked questions

 Which pack should I open to get Mega Gallade ex?

Ruler of the Skies — the card genuinely belongs to that pack. The page just hasn't computed an exact percentage yet because the per-slot data doesn't cover this grade.

 Roughly how many packs does it take to pull Mega Gallade ex?

No reliable number here: the per-slot rate data doesn't yet cover Mega Gallade ex's grade, even though it does drop from Ruler of the Skies. Use Pack Points or trading while this gets filled in.

 Can I trade for Mega Gallade ex instead of pulling it?

It can be traded for 25,000 Shinedust. Trading uses Shinedust, and whether a card is tradeable at all is fixed by its rarity tier — Immersive Rare and Crown Rare cards can never be traded under any circumstance, so for those two tiers Pack Points or a direct pull are the only ways in.
