“Mega Evolution” Set Product Lineup Revealed for September!
The full product lineup for our Mega Evolution set has been revealed! The set will release on September 26th as the first set of the new Mega Evolution block. Preorders should be available on PokemonCenter.com tomorrow, but they sometimes open during the following week.
The Elite Trainer Boxes will feature Riolu or Alakazam for their promo cards.
Like Journey Together, there will be Mega Evolution Enhanced Booster Boxes that include a stamped box topper promo: Bulbasaur! Presumably we'll also get regular booster boxes without the promo.
Releasing alongside the set will be "Mega Heroes Mini Tins." As usual they will retail for $9.99 and come with two booster packs, a coin, and an art card.
Our Mega Evolution set will feature:
Over 180 cards including secret rares
- 10 Mega Evolution Pokemon ex (confirmed are Venusaur, Camerupt, Abomasnow, Gardevoir, Lucario, Absol, Mawile, Latias, and Kangaskhan, leaving only Ampharos or Manectric for the unrevealed Lightning-type Mega)
- More than 15 Trainer cards
- 22 full art Mega Evolution Pokemon ex and Trainer cards (this includes -- for the first time ever -- Item, Stadium, and Pokemon Tool cards)
- 22 Illustration Rare Pokemon
- 10 Special Illustration Rare Mega Evolution Pokemon ex and Supporter cards
Mega Evolution will also feature a new art style for full art Mega Evolution Pokemon ex featuring a silhouette of the regular version of that Pokemon alongside its Mega Evolution. For example, Lucario's silhouette next to Mega Lucario. Presumably this will be like the full art Owner's Pokemon where their Trainer is seen in the background.
Mega Evolution was initially revealed last month. As posted before, it will feature 132 cards before secret rares. It will mostly contain the cards from Japan's Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia sets, which release on August 1st.
