Pokemon Mega Brave & Mega Symphonia... "MEGA" Can Only Mean One Thing...
Happy Summer Solstice Pokemon Masters!
With the start of summer comes a brand new release... Not only that, we're on a back to back double set release with Mega Brave M1L & Mega Symphonia M1S! More Pokemon expansions than you can shake a stick at for 2025 so far, and we haven't seen a bad set yet.
From ending 2024 with Terastal Festival, to beginning 2025 with Battle Partners... The insane hype of Glory of Team Rocket and a dedicated twinned Unova Gen 5 inspired special release... the last 6-7 months have been as good as it gets in the world of Pokemon TCG!
These releases won't be branded as Scarlet & VIolet expansions, but fall under the new "Mega Block" branding. More on that as news develops and why a shift in dynamics has happened. In short, there is a cross contamination (maybe a bit strong) let's say there is a collaborative approach to this new branding to help promote the TCG and the new Video Game - Legends A-Z.
Now, the return of "Mega Evolutions" has been in the air for some time now so we knew it was coming... But we are still super excited to be seeing Pokemon Mega Evolutions. It has been some years since the peak of the XY era. So soak in the modern nostalgia and prepare yourselves!
PRE ORDER/BOOKMARK HERE:

Pokemon Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia releases in Japan on 1st August 2025. More news on the way! In the mean time.... Why not have a sneak peak:
Update 06/07/2025:
Among a few updates that landed this weekend was a very special mention and a card that has got people giving it the puppy dog eyes, its the cuteness of Riolu and the brand new AR reveal for Mega Brave!
We are now just 3 weeks away from release, and you know what that means! The reveals will keep coming. We aren't sure whether the new Mega Evo sets will follow the same pattern as the normal Scarlet & Violet expansions when it comes to set reveals... But maybe a little bit of mystery is a good thing!
Anyway, enough speculation, feast your eyes on the cuteness!
In the last week or so, we have been taking a trip down memory lane looking back at the old XY Mega Evolutions and speculating as to what is to come.
Now we know from the trademarks that Pokemon have made that we WILL.. or almost certainly will see the return of a Mega Evo Charizard in what will become Pokemon Inferno X so we put together a couple of classics just in between the new reveals:
Some of the other upcoming trademarks show the following:
- Mega Gengar ex
- Mega Diance ex
Which will both release as starter sets, we just so happen to have made ourselves a little nod of the head to an old Mega Evo Favourite:
Getting back to the subject at hand, we're still awaiting the big big pulls for Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia but you can but your bottom dollar, that we can expect the M Gardevoir & M Lucario and of course, we made up the old ones
We look forward to giving you guys the low down on the new Mega Evolution releases in the coming weeks and days, so stay tuned in!
