Mismagius TCG Cards: Every Rare Worth Chasing (2026)
By Dexhaul Team · October 15, 2026 · 6 min read
Mismagius entered the Pokémon TCG alongside its Sinnoh debut in 2007, and across 18 years it has moved from a single Holo Rare to an Illustration Rare, a Japanese Art Rare, and a full ex treatment.
The TCG cards most worth tracking down now are the Paldea Evolved Illustration Rare (212/193), the Mismagius ex cards from Phantasmal Flames ME02, and the original Diamond & Pearl Holo Rare if you are building by era. Each sits at a different rarity tier and a different price point, observed at independent shops in October 2026.
This guide covers every Mismagius TCG rarity currently in the catalog: what set each card came from, which rarity tier it holds, and which sealed product to open if you want to pull one. Plush, figures, and other Mismagius merch are covered in the Misdreavus and Mismagius collector guide.

The Diamond & Pearl Holo Rares
Mismagius (#429) is a Ghost/Psychic-type Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, introduced in the Diamond and Pearl games in 2006. Its TCG debut followed in the Diamond and Pearl base set the following year, as card 010/130, a Holo Rare.
A second Holo Rare appeared in Stormfront (7/100) in November 2008. That gives Mismagius back-to-back Holo Rare printings in the same generation, which is an uncommon outcome for a Stage 1 support Pokémon without legendary or mythical status.
Both DP-era cards are in print at independent sellers now. The 010/130 is observed at $16.08 USD in October 2026, and the Stormfront 7/100 sits at approximately $10 to $13 CAD. For era collectors, these are the foundational pieces.
The Paldea Evolved Illustration Rare
The 212/193 from Paldea Evolved (June 2023) is the highest-rarity Mismagius card printed in the Scarlet & Violet era. The Illustration Rare tier uses a gold-star full-bleed artwork that extends beyond the standard card border into the surrounding margin.
Mismagius 212/193 is the only Illustration Rare this Pokémon has received across its entire card history. For a Stage 1 non-ex Pokémon without a prominent competitive role, reaching IR tier is unusual. The SV era produced significantly more Illustration Rares per set than prior generations, but the Mismagius entry still requires pulling from a numbered pool beyond the set's base count, placing it above the standard rare tiers in both scarcity and observed price.
Observed prices for the 212/193 in October 2026 range from $36 to $69 USD across independent sellers, depending on condition. The Paldea Evolved ETB is the sealed product for pulling it yourself.
Mismagius ex in Phantasmal Flames (ME02)
Phantasmal Flames (ME02) released November 14, 2025, and gave Mismagius its first-ever ex card treatment. The set contains two distinct Mismagius ex prints: 036/094 as a Double Rare and 112/094 as an Ultra Rare.
The Double Rare (036/094) is the standard ex tier: a holofoil card with the ex designation and no alternate art frame. The Ultra Rare (112/094) carries full-art holo treatment, placing the artwork across the entire card face. Both are confirmed in the Phantasmal Flames card list on Limitless TCG.
For collectors tracking the Mismagius line chronologically, the ME02 ex cards represent an 18-year gap between the Pokémon's first Holo Rare (2007 Diamond and Pearl) and its first ex designation. The Phantasmal Flames ETB is the sealed entry point for both cards.
The Trick or Trade Halloween Promos
Mismagius appeared in the annual Trick or Trade BOOster Bundle sets in both 2022 and 2023, making it one of the most consistently featured Ghost-types across that promo series.
The 2022 version (059/189) is a stamped Astral Radiance card carrying a pumpkin holo stamp as its promo designation. This stamp separates it visually from the identically numbered base Astral Radiance version.
The 2023 version (088/193) uses a Paldea Evolved base with the same Halloween distribution format. Trick or Trade cards are distributed at participating retailers each October, outside the standard booster pack system.
The 2022 stamped holo has a narrower print run than the unstamped base card and is the more visually distinct of the two versions.
The Japanese Art Rare: SV1a Triplet Beat
Japan's SV1a Triplet Beat set (released March 2023) included a Mismagius Art Rare numbered 083/073. Art Rares in Japanese SV sets are the equivalent tier to Illustration Rares in English prints: full-bleed artwork that extends past the card frame into the surrounding border.
Triplet Beat cards were partially included in the English Paldea Evolved release (June 2023), but the Mismagius AR was not among those that crossed over. Collecting the 083/073 means sourcing a Japanese import directly.
The AR and the Paldea Evolved IR are visually distinct cards despite covering the same Pokémon in the same era. The AR uses Japanese text and a different illustration. Both are currently available at independent shops.
The Current Card: Ascended Heroes (2026)
The most recent English set appearance for Mismagius is 086/217 in Ascended Heroes (ME/ASC), released January 30, 2026. It is a standard Rare Holo, returning to the format established in the DP era. Observed price is $2.00 USD in October 2026.
To pull a Mismagius from sealed product today: Ascended Heroes booster packs include 086/217, and Phantasmal Flames (ME02) packs include both ex cards. With the October Halloween season active, the Trick or Trade series is worth watching for new Mismagius promo appearances consistent with the 2022 and 2023 runs.
