More about Mega Evolution

Release date and set details

The set Mega Evolution was originally due to appear on 26 September 2025, but was pushed back to 10 October 2025.
It is the base set of the new Mega Evolution series, which revolves entirely around the return of the Mega Pokémon to the TCG.

The set contains 132 regular cards and 56 Secret Rares, making 188 cards in total. The Secret cards include the Mega Ultra Rares and the Special Illustration Rares, which have the most beautiful and rarest artwork.

How hard are chase cards to find?

The exact “pull rates” have not been officially confirmed yet, but the Mega Ultra Rares and Special Illustration Rares are expected to be among the hardest cards to pull. The chance of getting one of these cards is small, which makes them extra special for collectors.

Why are these cards so popular?

  • The Mega Pokémon are back after a long absence from the TCG.
  • The cards have new illustration styles with lots of detail and shine.
  • Trainers such as Lillie and Acerola are always popular, especially in rare variants.
  • The Mega Ultra Rares are hard to find and therefore extra sought-after.

Values and market

The expectation is that Mega Gardevoir ex and Mega Lucario ex will become the most expensive cards in the set, especially in their Mega Ultra Rare variant. The Trainer cards such as Lillie’s Determination and Acerola’s Mischief are also doing well on the market thanks to their popularity.

The exact values will become clearer after the release, but even now you can see that Mega Evolution is a well-loved start to the new series.
