Two new Pokémon TCG sets are announced for a Japanese release on Aug 05, 2025—the Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia, which will likely belong to a new series, the Pokémon Card Game MEGA.

On the other hand, no details have surfaced yet about the contents of the Mega Gengar ex and Mega Diance ex decks. However, it’s safe to say that they will have a similar structure to the previous theme decks in Pokémon TCG.

It is worth noting that the 2019 Cosmic Eclipse of the Sun and Moon series became the last set that introduced Mega Evolution Pokémon in the form of a TAG TEAM GX card. And after more than half a decade, these powerful Pokémon will once again enter the Standard format, potentially redefining the future meta.
