MEGA x MEGA Parade is the new High Class Pack set from Japan, featuring the very first cards of Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y. In this blog you'll read when the set releases, what's inside a pack, which cards have already been revealed and when you can pre-order it.
When does MEGA x MEGA Parade release?
MEGA x MEGA Parade releases in Japan on Friday, February 19, 2027. That is later than usual: previous High Class Packs all came out in November or December. The last Japanese expansion scheduled before MEGA x MEGA Parade is Aura Seeker, on November 27, 2026.
Which products are coming?
So far, only the MEGA x MEGA Parade booster pack has been officially described: 10 cards for 550 yen (the Japanese retail price), with a guaranteed hit in every pack. How many packs a booster box contains has not been announced yet. The previous High Class Pack, MEGA Dream ex, had 10.
Why is MEGA x MEGA Parade so interesting?
MEGA x MEGA Parade contains the first cards of Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y. Raichu is one of the few Pokémon with two Mega forms. Both first appeared in Mega Dimension, the expansion of the game Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and they have never been on a Pokémon card before.
On top of that, MEGA x MEGA Parade is a High Class Pack, Japan's annual premium set. In a set like this, most of the main set consists of reprints from the past year, so you can pull cards you missed earlier. The most valuable cards are the secret rares with new artwork: our list of the Chase Cards of MEGA Dream ex, the previous High Class Pack, contains only secret rares.
