A fresh wave of excitement has hit the Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) community as leaks have suggested an upcoming set named “Inferno X.” Rumors are circulating about this latest installment possibly featuring the beloved Mega Evolutions from the Pokemon X and Y era. Gamers can potentially expect this set to make its debut in Japan by late 2025, possibly in October or November. However, before we get there, the Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia sets are lined up for release in August, setting the stage for an eventful year in Pokemon card collecting.
In a nutshell, 2025 is shaping up to be another thrilling year filled with new Pokemon adventures and expansions. Come May, the Destined Rivals expansion will boast over 240 cards, while the Black Bolt and White Flare sets are anticipated in early summer, likely landing in June. Adding to the buzz, a recent trademark filing hints at yet another Mega Evolution set targeting this year’s schedule for Japan.
Courtesy of PokeBeach’s detective work, the Pokemon Company in Japan has filed a trademark for “Inferno X.” This potential new addition to the TCG family has fans eagerly speculating, particularly about which nostalgic Mega Evolutions could make a return. Mega Charizard X, among other fan favorites from the X and Y generation, are top contenders for inclusion. Historically, trademarks pop onto the scene six to nine months ahead of release, but there are often surprises along the way. Until the Pokemon Company gives the official nod, these dates remain in the dreamy realm of speculation.
With Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia making waves come August, kicking off with Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir, 2025 looks set to be a monumental time for Pokemon TCG enthusiasts. Adding to the excitement, Mega Charizard gears up for a splashy return in Pokemon Legends: Z-A for the Nintendo Switch. The anticipation for Mega Charizard’s potential appearance in upcoming TCG sets is palpable, given its enduring popularity.
While the worldwide release plan for these exciting new Mega Evolution series remains under wraps, there’s confirmation that Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia will enjoy a global launch in 2025. As demand skyrockets, The Pokemon Company is turbocharging its production efforts to ensure fans have better access to their favorite cards. Included in this endeavor is a plan to print more of previously launched products, which will eventually be available in stores like GameStop and through the Pokemon Center’s online store.
The Pokemon TCG journey has been remarkable since its inception on October 20, 1996, and with the upcoming releases, it seems set to continue enchanting fans the world over. As each new chapter unfolds, collectors and enthusiasts can look forward to fresh challenges and timeless battles presented within every deck.
