Pokémon TCG fans, get ready for a fiery new addition! According to recent rumors and multiple reports, a brand-new Japanese set titled “Inferno X” is slated for release on September 26, 2025. This expansion is expected to be the second installment in the Mega Evolution series, following Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia in August.
What Is “Inferno X”?
- Inferno X is heavily rumored to spotlight Mega Charizard X, one of the most iconic and sought-after Pokémon in the TCG world.
- The set will reportedly launch as a standard 30-pack booster box in Japan, though the total set size and box price have not yet been confirmed.
- The name “Inferno X” and associated trademarks filed earlier this year strongly suggest a fire-themed expansion, with Mega Charizard X at its core.
Why Is This Set So Exciting?
- Mega Charizard X has only appeared twice before in the TCG: in the 2014 Flashfire set and the 2016 Evolutions set.
- The return of Mega Evolutions to the TCG ties into the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-Agame, signaling a new era for collectors and competitive players alike.
- Charizard cards are consistently among the most valuable and collectible in the hobby, so demand for Inferno X is expected to be high.
What Can Collectors Expect?
- While no official card images have been revealed yet, collectors can anticipate new Mega Charizard X cards—possibly with stunning SIR (Special Illustration Rare) treatments.
- The set may also include other popular Fire-type and Mega Evolution Pokémon to complement the “Inferno” theme.
- As with previous Japanese releases, an English version is likely, possibly as part of a larger combined set later in 2025.
Release Timeline (Japan):
- August 1, 2025: Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia (featuring Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex)
- September 26, 2025: Inferno X (featuring Mega Charizard X)
