Exploring the “Inferno X”Set and Its Mega Evolution Features





The recent trademark discovery linked to the Inferno X set suggests that it could debut in Japan between October and November 2025. Notably, popular Mega Evolutions like Mega Charizard X are rumored to feature prominently in this set.
First unveiled during the Pokémon Presents event on February 27, the upcoming **Mega Brave** and **Mega Symphonia** sets have their launch dates set for August. They will showcase Mega Lucario EX and Mega Gardevoir, marking them as the first two Mega Evolution sets of the year. With the anticipated release of **Pokémon Legends: Z-A** on the Nintendo Switch, the promotion surrounding these evolutions is ramping up, with Mega Charizard likely such an important figure that its inclusion seems almost guaranteed.
While the official release schedule for regions outside of Japan is still pending, The Pokémon Company has confirmed that the Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia sets will be available globally by 2025. The company is also focused on bolstering production to meet escalating demand, setting plans in motion to ensure that both current and past Pokémon TCG products can be readily available to fans through the Pokémon Center online store and retail partners such as GameStop.
