“Phantasmal Flames” English Set Revealed for November!

[Water Pokémon Master]

We can reveal Phantasmal Flames will be the name of our second Mega Evolution set!
The set will release on Friday, November 14th. Prereleases will take place from November 1st through 9th.
Based on the name, our set should be based on Japan's Mega Gengar ex & Mega Diancie ex decks and Inferno X featuring Mega Charizard ex. They will release in September.

Here's the upcoming Japanese TCG schedule:

August 1st...

Maybe one day I'll see cards in stock again.

(sees the headline) But not anytime soon.

Putting a Mega Charizard X and Mega Gengar SIR in the same set should be illegal. This set is literally going to be unobtainable.

 

[Matteloop]

If ninja spinner comes out in October won't that be in the the set?

 

[ShinyJordeon]

Charizard is in a 2nd set of an era? What happened with the 3rd one?

 

[Tomasko26]

So what are we thinking for the Rayquaza set in English? January release now?

There is no indication that there will be a Gengar SIR, since it comes from a deck it's highly unlikely.

Damn, so far away. More time to save $ though lol. Thanks

Pokemon needs to print 5x more to make it even available in stores.

 

[Alex Hesketh]

So if Ninja set for october in Japan, I assume our set is that and Inferno combined? and adding the decks hence the name.

There is no indication that there will be a Gengar SIR, since it comes from a deck it's highly unlikely.

You might have a point, however Pokemon has printed alt arts in decks before like the Gengar and Inteleon VMAX’s that got put into Fusion Strike, so it’s still possible. I also think it would be odd for them to promote Gengar as a set headliner and not give it any kind of special card.

 

[Niteclaw1028]

This is literally the 4th English set with a Charizard in it basically named "Dark Fire"
2017: Burning Shadows
2020: Darkness Ablaze
2023: Obsidian Flames
2025: Phantasmal Flames

 

[gladbachOlli]

I hope, Ninja Spinner will be a part of Phantasmal Flames, too. Obsidian Flames was a little bit low with only 12 IRs. 23 are perfect in my opinion.

 

[chambatron]

I feel like we may not get a SIR Gengar on Phantasmal Flames as it's a Mashup of the preconstructed japanese decks, but it's a given that the mega dream ex is a reprint set of all cards of the year so Japan may get the Gengar SIR there and we can get it in the set releasing in January

 

[Makima]

I can't wait for the Charizard SIR to cost $1000

 

[MythicalTreasur]

Charizard is in a 2nd set of an era? What happened with the 3rd one?

Sometimes it's 2nd sometimes it's 3rd

 

[MasterGallade]

Bro they couldn't have used any other fire-related word other than Flames again???

 

[Linkin Karp]

"Phantasmal Flames" sounds like a name my 9-year-old self would've given a self-built deck with Charizard and Gengar. Is phantasmal even a real word? That is legitimately the worst English set name I have ever read.

Imo Jungle and Fossil are terrible set names.
Yes, Phantasmal is a real word, but just the name itself doesn't make or break the set!
