New Pokémon TCG Pocket Expansion Announced: Mega Shine!
After a quick detour in the last mini expansion, Pokémon TCG Pocket is back with Mega Evolutions and Shinies in the aptly-named Mega Shine set. Headlined by fan-favorite Shinies, Mega Charizard X and Mega Gengar, this new set promises to be an all-time banger!
Without any further ado, let’s check out all the details.
An official trailer for Mega Shine has been released, revealing some cards from the new set! Mega Charizard X and Gengar are the highlights of the pack, along with a bunch of other popular Pokémon.
The Mega Shine set will be released on Thursday, March 26, 2026, and is the B2b expansion.
Here are all the Pokémon cards revealed:
There is also a Calem Trainer card shown.
Remember that Mega Evolutions function differently from other cards (including EX) in Pokémon TCG Pocket, and reflect the new rules set by the Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia sets in the physical TCG:
- Knocking out a Mega Evolution card rewards you with 3 points, granting you an instant win in TCG Pocket.
- Megas are Basic, Stage 1, and Stage 2 cards, and the latter two can be evolved directly from their respective Basic card or Stage 1 card.
To elaborate further on this:
- Mega Charizard X can be directly evolved from Charmander.
- Mega Gyarados can be directly evolved from Magikarp.
- Mega Mawile is a Basic card, hence not requiring evolution at all.
Mega Evolutions and Shinies are two of the most popular gimmicks among Pokémon fans, and you can rest assured that all TCG Pocket players will be ripping Mega Shine like crazy, especially with such amazing cards in store!
