Mega Charizard will star in another Pokémon TCG set, this time Inferno X, which will come to Japan in September.
ThePokémonTrading Card Game will close out the Scarlet and Violet era with Black Bolt and White Flare later this year, and now we have an idea of what’s to come next, when the era of Mega Pokémon begins this Summer.
Mega Pokémon are special, evolved forms of Pokémon that require Mega Stones. Only certain Pokémon received Mega Evolutions when they were first introduced in Pokémon X and Y. While the mechanic has been resting for some time, they are due to return inPokémon Legends: Z-Alater this year.
According toPokebeach, September will see the release of Pokémon TCG Mega Inferno X in Japan.
Inferno X will be the second set of the new Mega era, which will begin with Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia, which are due to be released in Japan in August. Inferno X will reportedly star Mega Charizard X, which could imply that an Inferno Y set will be released at the same time, starring Mega Charizard Y.
Pokémon Black Bolt and Pokémon White Flarewill be the English Pokémon TCG’s first-ever dual set when they release in July. The set will feature all 156 Unova Pokémon andwill introduce a brand-new rarity.
