What’s Inside the Set

Card count: 180+ cards (plus secrets).
Headliners: Mega Pokémon ex make a proper return, with a slate of fan-favourites previewed ahead of launch. This block leans into big, flashy artwork and high-impact marquee cards that should appeal to both collectors and players.

What Collectors & Players Should Watch

Collectors: Keep an eye on the earliest Special Illustration cards and any Mega ex that land iconic artwork or low pull rates, those typically set the ceiling for the set in the first month.
Players: Prerelease weekends are the best way to preview what Mega-centric strategies look like in Standard. Expect lists to evolve rapidly once the full card pool is legal.
