The Pokémon Company International has released the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Mega Evolution – Pitch Black, bringing Mega Evolution Pokémon from the Mega Dimension downloadable content for Pokémon Legends: Z-A into the TCG.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a Nintendo Switch title, and the new TCG set ties directly to the Mega Dimension content featured in that game.
The Pitch Black expansion introduces several headline Mega Evolution cards.
The publisher highlighted Mega Darkrai ex and Mega Zeraora ex as centerpiece additions, describing Mega Darkrai ex as a commanding presence that emerges from the shadows and Mega Zeraora ex as a high-impact attacker with electrifying power.
The expansion also brings Mega Chandelure ex and Mega Excadrill ex, each designed to add new strategic options to competitive play.
Pack composition and availability
The expansion contains a substantial mix of rarities: six Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, four Pokémon ex, 11 illustration-rare Pokémon, 18 ultra-rare Pokémon and Trainer cards, and six special illustration-rare Pokémon and Supporter cards.
The Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution – Pitch Black expansion is available now at participating retailers worldwide and has been released digitally through the Pokémon TCG Live app.
Digital launch and in-game bonuses
Players who access the expansion via Pokémon TCG Live can collect and battle with the new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex online.
The Pokémon Company International has confirmed that players will receive in-game bonuses when logging into Pokémon TCG Live following the expansion’s launch, providing immediate incentives for digital players to adopt the new cards.
Context and developer notes
This release continues The Pokémon Company International’s strategy of aligning physical TCG content with digital and console tie-ins.
By drawing cards directly from the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A on Nintendo Switch, Pitch Black provides a cross-media connection that collectors and competitive players can engage with both in physical play and through the TCG Live platform.
