The Pokémon Company has announced the Deluxe Pack: Mega for its TCG Pocket platform, scheduled to launch on 30th September (29th in select time zones).
The new collection follows the earlier Deluxe release format and pulls together cards spanning multiple prior expansions — specifically from Mega Rising through Ruler of the Skies — into four-card packs aimed at collectors and players using the TCG Pocket app.
Key details at a glance:
- Release date: 30th September (29th in select time zones)
- Pack format: four-card packs
- Card range: reissues from Mega Rising through Ruler of the Skies
- Rarity focus: reissues include every four-diamond rarity card from those expansions
- Guaranteed pull: each pack includes at least one ex card
The Deluxe Pack: Mega centers on reissuing high-rarity cards.
The collection brings back every four-diamond rarity card from the named expansions and pairs those reissues with guaranteed ex pulls in every four-card pack.
In journalistic terms: The publisher is assuring collectors that each Deluxe Pack: Mega purchase will contain an ex card, improving the odds of pulling a high-profile card compared with standard product runs.
The TCG Pocket application itself has been updated to help collectors manage these reissues.
According to the app notes, a recent update sorts reissued cards back into their original expansions inside users' collections, so openings from Deluxe Pack: Mega will still contribute to completing sets that originally appeared in Mega Rising, Ruler of the Skies and the intervening releases.
The announcement also confirms the set will feature several new card designs alongside the reprints; specific card names were not included in the initial rollout.
For players and collectors who track Pokémon TCG releases across platforms, this Deluxe pack presents an opportunity to fill gaps in four-diamond collections before upcoming releases.
Nintendo Switch users and others who follow Pokémon TCG news via Nintendo Direct or the eShop may want to monitor official channels for further details and any related promotions.
For collectors, the combination of focused reprints and guaranteed ex cards makes Deluxe Pack: Mega a notable launch in The Pokémon Company's digital TCG schedule.
Expect further updates from The Pokémon Company and TCG Pocket as pack content and new-card lists are published.
