Summary
A newPokemon TCGset has been leaked ahead of its launch in fall 2025, with a potential release date planned for October at the earliest. The newly filed trademark for thePokemon TCGset also implies that it will feature Mega Evolutions fromPokemon X & Yfor Nintendo 3DS.
2025 will be another eventful year forPokemon TCGwith many expansions and sets to be released. ThePokemon TCGDestined Rivals expansionwill release in May 2025 with over 240 cards, and the Black Bolt and White Flare sets are expected to release this summer, with June being the targeted release month. A recent trademark suggests another new Mega Evolution set is planned for release later this year in Japan as well.
The Pokemon Company filed a new trademark for “Inferno X” in Japan, as spotted byPokeBeach, and the trademark appears to reference a newPokemon TCGset. If leaks involving the JapanesePokemon TCGrelease schedule are true, the Inferno X set could be released sometime in October or November featuring older Mega Evolution cards. Mega Charizard X and other popularMega Evolutions fromPokemon X & Yare rumored to be potential inclusions in the set. Trademarks are typically published six to nine months before the respective Pokemon TCG sets are released, but it’s worth noting that these trademarks can be published out of order. As a result, the release timing is purely speculative until The Pokemon Company officially confirms dates for the sets in Japan.
