The Pokémon Trading Card Game’s next major set, inspired by Japan’s Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia, officially arrives in English on September 26, 2025, with prereleases running from September 13–21. This launch follows the Japanese release of Mega Brave & Mega Symphonia on August 1.
Typically, the Q3 set debuts in August, but Pokémon Company International delayed this one to September to accommodate earlier releases like Black Bolt & White Flare (due July 18).
However, tournament organizers warn prerelease kit allocations will be lower than normal due to ongoing supply chain issues. While shortages are expected to continue into late September, future events may not be as affected.
Key dates to remember:
-
August 1, 2025 – Japanese release of Mega Brave & Mega Symphonia
-
September 13–21, 2025 – English prerelease events
-
September 26, 2025 – English Mega Evolution set launch
Fans planning to attend prerelease tournaments are encouraged to secure their kits early, as availability may be limited.
What do you think? Does this indicate more shortages to come from TCPI?
