A fresh wave of excitement has swept through the Pokemon TCG community with recent leaks revealing a new set known as “Inferno X.” Slated for a potential release in Japan around October or November 2025, this set could bring a nostalgic twist by featuring Mega Evolutions from the classic Pokemon X & Y series.
For 2025, Pokemon enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to as the card game expands its horizons with multiple intriguing sets. The Destined Rivals expansion, boasting over 240 cards, is set to hit shelves in May, while summer will see the Black Bolt and White Flare sets debut, targeting a June launch. Adding to the anticipation, there’s chatter about another Mega Evolution set possibly dropping later in the year, marking a prolific period for Pokemon TCG.
In a recent discovery by PokeBeach, The Pokemon Company has filed a trademark for “Inferno X” in Japan, hinting at this new set. If the buzz surrounding leaks about Japan’s TCG release timetable holds true, players can expect to dive into familiar Mega Evolutions, potentially revisiting favorites like Mega Charizard X. While publishing these trademarks usually happens six to nine months before the cards drop, the actual schedule remains anything but predictable. With official confirmation still pending, fans are eagerly awaiting more concrete updates from The Pokemon Company.
Back in a February 27 Pokemon Presents event, the new Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia sets were unveiled, setting an August release date. Featuring Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir, these sets mark another chapter in the Mega Evolution saga leading up to the much-anticipated Pokemon Legends: Z-A on the Nintendo Switch. Mega Charizard’s inclusion in the game and its expected role in the TCG cards underline its enduring appeal.
While precise release plans for markets beyond Japan are yet to be announced, there’s assurance that Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia will launch worldwide in 2025. In a bid to counteract the overwhelming demand, The Pokemon Company is ramping up production of TCG products, ensuring fans everywhere can access their favorite cards. Additionally, there’s an initiative to restock previously sold-out items for the Pokemon Center online store and major retailers like GameStop, delighting collectors and newcomers alike.
