The next special Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion has officially been revealed. Deluxe Pack: Mega is coming to the game on September 29, 2026, bringing another collection-focused Deluxe Pack to Pokémon TCG Pocket—this time centered around the Mega Evolution era. The Pokémon Company revealed the pack through a new official trailer on September 24, giving players their first look at the booster artwork and several of the Pokémon ex cards featured in the upcoming release. Most importantly, Deluxe Pack: Mega comes with a major guaranteed pull: every four-card booster pack will contain a Pokémon ex.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Deluxe Pack: Mega Release Date
Deluxe Pack: Mega will become available on September 29, 2026. The official trailer specifically lists the release as: - September 29 at 6:00 p.m. PDT That corresponds to September 30 at 1:00 a.m. UTC, so depending on your region, the expansion may technically become available during the early hours of September 30. The description of the official trailer also confirms September 29 as the availability date.
Every Deluxe Pack: Mega Pack Guarantees a Pokémon ex
The biggest feature confirmed for Deluxe Pack: Mega is its guaranteed Pokémon ex. According to the official Pokémon announcement, each booster contains four cards, with every pack guaranteed to include a Pokémon ex. That makes Deluxe Pack: Mega particularly interesting for players looking to fill gaps in their collections. Rather than opening a standard booster without knowing whether it will contain a high-rarity Pokémon, every Deluxe Pack: Mega opening will provide at least one Pokémon ex. The official trailer describes the expansion as a way to “add some mega might” to your Pokémon TCG Pocket collection, while specifically highlighting its collection-completion focus.
Mega Evolution Pokémon ex Featured in the Trailer
The reveal trailer also provides a first look at several Pokémon ex cards associated with Deluxe Pack: Mega. Among the clearly visible cards are familiar Mega Evolution Pokémon such as Mega Altaria ex, Mega Venusaur ex and Mega Gardevoir ex, alongside additional Mega Pokémon ex shown during the trailer. Rather than focusing on a single Pokémon or one traditional booster theme, Deluxe Pack: Mega appears designed around Pokémon ex from the Mega Evolution era of Pokémon TCG Pocket. The full card list has not yet been officially revealed, however, so it remains to be seen exactly how large the Deluxe Pack: Mega card pool will be and which cards will be available.
A New Version of Pokémon TCG Pocket's Deluxe Pack
Deluxe Pack: Mega follows the concept introduced by Deluxe Pack: ex, the special expansion released during Pokémon TCG Pocket's first year. The original Deluxe Pack: ex placed a strong emphasis on previously released cards and collecting, including guaranteed high-rarity pulls and special versions of existing cards. Deluxe Pack: Mega now brings the Deluxe concept into Pokémon TCG Pocket's Mega Evolution era. The naming is particularly notable. While the previous release was called Deluxe Pack: ex, the new booster is officially titled Deluxe Pack: Mega, reflecting the major Mega Evolution theme that has defined the game's B-Series of cards. For collectors who are missing Pokémon ex from recent expansions, the guaranteed ex mechanic could make the new Deluxe Pack one of the most appealing collection-focused releases of the year.
Will Deluxe Pack: Mega Include New Artwork or Special Rarities?
This is one of the biggest unanswered questions following the reveal. The original Deluxe Pack: ex included more than simply another opportunity to obtain existing cards. It also featured special collectible treatments and artwork, making certain cards desirable even for players who already owned their standard versions. At the moment, Pokémon has not confirmed the complete rarity structure or full card list for Deluxe Pack: Mega. The trailer gives us a look at a selection of cards, but players should wait for further official information before assuming which alternate artworks, special versions or top rarities will be obtainable. As soon as the complete card list is revealed, we will be able to get a much better idea of which cards are the biggest chase cards in the set.
Should You Save Pack Hourglasses for Deluxe Pack: Mega?
For collectors, Deluxe Pack: Mega could be worth preparing for. A guaranteed Pokémon ex in every four-card pack makes the expansion particularly attractive if you still have gaps in your Mega-era collection. However, the overall value of spending Pack Hourglasses will ultimately depend on the size of the card pool, the available rarities and how many cards you already own. Players mainly focused on competitive decks may want to wait until the complete card list and pull rates are known before spending large amounts of saved resources. Collectors, meanwhile, will want to keep an eye on any exclusive artwork or special rarity cards revealed ahead of launch.
