The Pokémon Company International announced that the new Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion “Mega Evolution – Pitch Black” became available on July 17, 2026. The set introduces six Mega Evolution Pokémon‑ex cards—including Mega Darkrai‑ex, Mega Zeraora‑ex, Mega Chandelure‑ex and Mega Excadrill‑ex—alongside dozens of other new Pokémon, trainer and stadium cards, totalling over 115 cards.

The expansion is sold through major retailers worldwide and is also integrated into the Pokémon TCG Live digital platform, allowing players to collect and battle with the new cards online.
