Pokémon Japan will release Special Deck Set MEGA on November 13, 2026, a boxed set of three ready-to-play decks led by Mega Feraligatr ex, Mega Dragonite ex and Mega Gengar ex. The official product page, announced on October 16, lists a suggested retail price of ¥5,500 including tax.

The product page says each of the three Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is included as a holo (キラ) card. All three decks share common Trainer cards, including Boss's Orders and Ultra Ball (Hyper Ball in Japanese).

The box also holds three paper deck cases, three Pokémon coins, a sheet of damage counters and markers, one playmat, a rules booklet, three player's guides and a card box. The official page notes that some of the cards were released or distributed before, so not every card is a new print.

What it means for collectors

Deck sets like this are aimed at players who want two or three working decks in one purchase, not at pack opening. For collectors, the draw is the holo Mega ex cards and any new artwork the decks carry. The product page doesn't break down which cards are new and which are reprints, so wait for full card lists before assuming a particular card is exclusive to this set.

Products built only for the Japanese market don't always get an English version, and The Pokémon Company International hasn't announced one here. If you're buying from Japan, our Japanese vs English Pokémon cards guide covers card quality, rarity codes and how to buy safely. Japanese cards fit the same standard sleeves as English ones, as our sleeve size guide shows.

What's next

  • November 13, 2026: Japanese release
  • November 27, 2026: the next Japanese expansion, Hadou Seeker (often called Aura Seeker), arrives two weeks later
