Mega Evolutions Return in Fiery Style with Phantasmal Flames

Get ready—Mega Charizard X and Mega Gengar are stepping into the spotlight in one of the most exciting upcoming Pokémon TCG releases yet. This set leans heavily into Fire and Darkness types, bringing intense artwork, powerful new cards, and the highly-anticipated return of Mega Evolution Pokémon ex. With new Pokémon ex joining the line-up, fans and players alike have plenty to look forward to as Phantasmal Flames approaches!

Searing blue flames blaze across a shadow-filled battlefield as Mega Charizard X ex dominates the skies, while Mega Gengar ex emerges ominously from the darkness below. Beside them, Mega Heracross ex, Mega Lopunny ex, and more incredible Pokémon prepare to unleash their power in the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution — Phantasmal Flames expansion!

One of the standout elements of this new era of Mega Evolution cards is their distinctive visual styling. These ultra rare Pokémon ex cards feature the silhouette of the Pokémon’s regular form layered into the artwork, giving them a dramatic and visually striking design that collectors will absolutely love. These cards are relatively new to the TCG, and Phantasmal Flames looks set to build on that excitement in a big way.

We’re counting down the days until release and can’t wait to see which Mega Evolutions make the final cut when Phantasmal Flames launches on 14th November 2025. November is shaping up to be a massive month for trading card fans, especially with the upcoming Disney Lorcana set Whispers in the Well landing around the same time!
