The Pokemon Trading Card Game will soon feature Mega Attack Rarity cards, inspired by the original Mega Pokemon EX cards introduced in 2014 with the XY expansion. This won't be the first new rarity added to the game this year, but for many, it's the most nostalgic addition to the Pokemon Trading Card Game in years.
In July 2025, Pokemon TCG's Black Bolt and White Flare expansion introduced the Black and White Rarity. Also known as BWR, this category contains monochrome cards of popular monsters, such as Reshiram EX and Zekrom EX. Now, the game is unveiling another new rarity tier, one that's likely to appeal to veteran fans.
Announced during the 2025 World Championships, Pokemon TCG's latest rarity is called Mega Attack (MAR). Cards in this class feature the attack title spelled out in the illustration, either in Japanese or English. Specifically, the English version will show the attack name in katakana, while the Japanese and Korean versions will use the English spelling. So far, three MAR cards have been revealed: Mega Charizard X EX, Mega Gardevoir EX, and Mega Lucario EX.
Pokemon TCG had previously confirmed Mega-evolved characters, and fans have been anticipating September 26, the release date...
