The Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution era has six English sets so far: Mega Evolution (26 September 2025), Phantasmal Flames (14 November 2025), Ascended Heroes (from 30 January 2026), Perfect Order (27 March 2026), Chaos Rising (22 May 2026) and Pitch Black (17 July 2026). Each one adds new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex.

Start with the set that opened the era: the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Booster Bundle (6 Packs) is live now at PUSHAS, with every Mega Evolution set below it in the Pokémon trading cards range. Every box is sealed and authenticated by hand.

What makes the Mega Evolution era different

The era is built around Mega Evolution Pokémon ex. When one is Knocked Out, your opponent takes three Prize cards instead of the usual one or two.

The first set also widened the rarity ladder. Ultra Rare versions now extend to Trainer cards, so Items, Pokémon Tools and Stadiums can appear as premium pulls alongside the Pokémon.
