Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes is a special set of 295 cards, the largest English-language Pokémon TCG set released, built around new Mega Evolution cards led by Mega Dragonite ex. Its first products arrived on 30 January 2026, and because the set was never sold in booster boxes or loose packs, every card comes out of a boxed product. This guide explains the eight Ascended Heroes products live now at PUSHAS, from the pocket-sized mini tin to the 14-pack Focused Fighters Premium Collection.

The main product in the range is the Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Box, a nine-pack box. It sits in the Pokémon trading cards and TCG collectibles range at PUSHAS alongside the rest of the set, and every box is sealed and authenticated by hand before it ships.

What makes Ascended Heroes different

Ascended Heroes is a special set rather than a main expansion. It combines new cards based on the Mega Evolutions from Pokémon Legends: Z-A with cards from the past year of the Pokémon TCG, compiled from the Japanese MEGA Dream ex and Start Deck 100 Battle Collection releases. The count splits into 217 main-set cards and 78 secret rares.

Mega Dragonite ex leads the set, and Trainer's Pokémon such as N's Zekrom also appear, including on the Elite Trainer Box promo. The biggest structural difference is distribution: there are no traditional booster boxes and no individual booster packs. If you want Ascended Heroes packs, you choose a box, and each box brings its own promo, display piece or accessory.

The rollout was staggered across the year. The Tech Sticker Collection landed on 30 January 2026 (the two-pack Collection was delayed to 20 February in the US and Canada), the Elite Trainer Box and mini tins followed on 20 February, the Premium Poster Collection on 20 March, the Booster Bundle and Mega ex boxes on 24 April, and new tins on 28 August.
