Heads up Pocket trainers. The Mega Shine expansion for Pokemon TCG Pocket lands on March 25, 2026. This set is built around Shiny Pokemon and Mega Evolution ex cards. Expect bigger threats and more aggressive play as the new cards hit the scene.

Why the meta might change

The design of Mega Shine points to faster games and higher damage potential. Mega Evolution ex cards look like they will become focal points for competitive lists. In plain terms, that means:

  • Heavier hitters that can finish games faster.
  • More aggressive win conditions as decks lean on big plays.
  • New synergies that could boost some archetypes into top spots.

Fan-favorite cards are already confirmed in high-rarity and shiny versions. That alone makes this release one to watch for both competitive players and collectors.

Release details and revealed cards

The Mega Shine set will include over 100 new cards and is part of the B2b expansion. Below are the cards that have been officially revealed so far. Set number for all entries is listed as B2b with final numbering still to be announced.
