New Pokémon TCG Pocket Expansion Announced: Pulsing Aura!
The newest Pokémon TCG Pocket set, the B3 major expansion named Pulsing Aura, has finally been announced! Headlined by the iconic Mega Lucario and Mega Sceptile, this themed booster pack is going to be crazy!
Let’s dig in!
An official trailer for Pulsing Aura has been released, revealing some cards from the new set! Mega Lucario and Mega Sceptile are featured on the pack.
The Fantastical Parade set will be released on Monday, April 27, 2026, at 6 p.m. PDT and is the B3 expansion.
Here are all the Pokémon cards revealed:
There are also a few Trainer cards shown:
- Korrina Supporter: During this turn, attacks used by your Pokémon do +30 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokémon ex.
- Field Blower Item: Discard a Pokémon Tool card from a Pokémon (yours or your opponent’s), or discard a Stadium card in play.
- Arena of Antiquity Stadium: Attacks used by each
Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponent’s) do +20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokémon ex.
Fighting types have had a rather disappointing run in recent metas, but Pulsing Aura would surely result in a surge of these brawlers!
Trainers finally get an ex card for Vaporeon, and you can create a full Binder with ex cards of all Eeveelutions.
Korrina looks really strong (thankfully, her effect isn’t limited to Mega Lucario ex). The Arena of Antiquity Stadium card is phenomenal as well. Rampardos may be back, better than ever!
And yes, Mega Lucario ex and especially, Mega Sceptile ex seem very strong!
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 Sceptile can be directly evolved from Treecko.
- Mega Gyarados can be directly evolved from Magikarp.
- Mega Mawile is a Basic card, hence not requiring evolution at all.
We’ll cover all the new ex, Trainer, and best picks for the Pulsing Aura meta, and we also look forward to the new Rainbow Rare and Immersive cards.
