Go beyond the limits of regular Evolution and discover the energy hidden within your Pokémon with Mega Evolution. Striving to become stronger, Pokémon of all types are putting everything on the line to become Mega Evolution Pokémon ex! Join us for our Prerelease Events on September 14th @ 2PM and/or September 16th @ 6:30pm for the biggest battles you’ve ever seen in the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Mega Evolution expansion!
Harness the strong aura of Mega Lucario ex, embrace the overflowing power of Mega Gardevoir ex, and team up with more of these powerful Pokémon that boast devastating attacks and massive HP. But consider your strategy carefully—extra power brings extra risks! Only certain Pokémon can harness this unique skill, which changes their appearance and sometimes even their type. Mega Evolution is temporary, however, so knowing when to unleash this power is your key to victory in Pokémon battles. Mega Evolution requires the Trainer to wear a Key Stone, and their Pokémon to hold a special Mega Stone. When the bond between Trainer and Pokémon is strong enough, the Key Stone resonates with the Mega Stone, allowing Mega Evolution to take place. Which of these new Mega-Evolved Pokémon will you want on your team?
