Next Expansion (B2) (approx.) January 29, 2026

Our approximate release date is based on previous calendar releases and is subject to change based on official announcements.

After looking at the schedule of previous expansion release dates, it is likely that the next major expansion set will release around the end of January 2026.

Expansions typically release during the last Thursday of the month. This means that the next expansion will likely release on January 29, 2026.

The next expansion is likely going to be a major expansion. This follows the release pattern of the A-series of expansions.

It will likely have two booster packs featuring Pokemon from a generation yet to be represented.

Mega Rising Card List (B1)

What to Expect in the Next Expansion

Similar Event Cycle to Mega Rising

Mega Rising follows a different cycle compared to the other recent expansions. Notably, it sees the return of Emblem Events and two-part Wonder Picks.

The next expansion will likely follow a similar cycle. This means it will start off with an Emblem Event, followed by a Drop Event, then the two-part Wonder Pick Event.

Generation 6 Pokemon

The previous expansions have focused on Mega ex Pokemon. Since Mega Evolution originates from the Generation 6 mainline games, it may be likely that we will get an expansion focusing on Pokemon from the Kalos Region.
