Nintendo, in collaboration with The Pokémon Company, has officially announced the release of the Pokémon TCG: Mega Powers Collection, the latest premium bundle for the immensely popular Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Set to launch on May 19, 2017, the collection delivers an array of exclusive full-art Pokémon-EX cards, booster packs, and unique items designed to appeal to both seasoned collectors and competitive players. The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) continues to be a cornerstone product for Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, with millions of fans worldwide engaging in the strategic card battles first introduced in 1996.

Over the years, the TCG has seen regular expansions, innovative gameplay mechanics, and high-value collector sets.

The Mega Powers Collection builds on this legacy with highly sought-after cards and collector incentives. At the heart of the Mega Powers Collection are four full-art foil promo cards, each spotlighting fan-favorite Pokémon.

Additionally, collectors and players will find a specially crafted full-art oversized card featuring Mega Lucario-EX, providing a standout display piece for any collection. To further enhance gameplay, the bundle includes a Lucario Spirit Link card, which enables players to bring Mega Lucario-EX into play more efficiently during matches.

The collection also features eight Pokémon TCG booster packs, offering players additional opportunities to strengthen their decks with new Pokémon, Trainer, and Energy cards.

Completing the package is an exclusive code card that unlocks digital content in the Pokémon TCG Online, the online platform developed to broaden the game’s reach on PC, Mac, and iPad devices. A representative from The Pokémon Company remarked on the announcement, stating that the Mega Powers Collection was designed to give collectors and players premium cards and gameplay options, while celebrating some of the most powerful Mega Evolution Pokémon featured in the TCG. Since its debut, the Pokémon TCG has established a robust presence across both physical and digital platforms, with expansions regularly topping sales charts and maintaining strong engagement within the gaming community.

The addition of the Mega Powers Collection further cements the franchise’s status as a staple in collectible card gaming, and is expected to see high demand through both the eShop and official retail partners.
