The Pokemon TCG Is Getting A New Type Of Rare Mega Evolution Cards

This year’s Pokemon World Championships was packed full of announcements, including a reveal of a few new cards coming to the physical Trading Card Game. The Pokemon Company released a CG trailer showing off a bunch of Pokemon fighting each other before revealing a new Mega Evolved Pokemon card, Mega Charizard X EX, alongside a new card rarity.

This is a fire-type card with a whopping 360HP, and has the move Inferno X, which does a base damage of 90 points, and can be multiplied by however many fire energy cards you discard from across your Pokemon on the field.

The big reveal for any collectors out there is a new type of card rarity. These special art cards are called Mega attack rares, and feature different attack names in katakana. Mega Charizard X EX is getting one of these, as well as Mega Lucaria EX and Mega Gardevoir EX. You’ll have the chance to pull these as part of the TCG’s next set Mega Evolution.

At the end of the trailer there is also a tease for more Mega Pokemon EX cards planned for 2026, which includes one of Mega Dragonite EX. This particular form of the popular dragon Pokemon is set to debut in Pokemon Legends: Z-A later this year.

It wasn’t just the physical TCG that got some card reveals, as over the weekend there was also the announcement that Mega Evolutions are making their way to Pokemon TCG Pocket this fall. The Pokemon Company also revealed four-player battles for Pokemon Legends Z-A and confirmed that the upcoming Pokemon Champions will be the main VGC game at next year’s Pokemon World Championships.
